Chick Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 After all the trials and tribulations with my car (see other posts if you can be bothered!) - Audi mostly gave in and took the car back Saturday, and to replace, have ordered me a new one .... nearly put a smile back on my face, flip side is - spec required isn't in stock anywhere so am having to wait, possibly up to 12 weeks. I have the old cars' wind reflector still, any ideas how much I could get for it - used once!?! (LOL - n't tell the hubbie as the new car is coming with one too). I also hope no-one has the misfortune to buy my old one, Audi wouldn't say if they were going to resell it,(though I strongly advised unless they want more complaints not to do this) and they did hint it may just be chucked through an auction ... and rather scarily also said that if they did decide to resell, the cheeky buggers would not have to tell a future customer it's history - buyer beware!!!! I will be keepng an eye out for it, to see if they do put her up for sale - on the face of it, she is a lovely car, low mileage (nothing to do with the 9 months it spent out of the last 12 in a dealerships garage of course) but it is a lemon!! I will be keeping a look-out and will post if I see her! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merlot Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 I bought one (and later resold it) for £100 on e-bay. Why order one with the car when its cheaper to use the old one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chick Posted March 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Spec is as follows: Avus silver (again!) 3.2fsi S-line (get the basic sat-nav with this now and cd changer in glovebox) plus S-line exterior package, Black leather (again), Heated front seats, Elec folding mirrors, Xenon headlight system, Interior light pack think that is it, u get so much more with the new S-line package than my old car had so hopefully will be well chuffed when it arrives, nearly excited already and will hopefully dull the painful memories of the old one - not too sure what dealerships in the SEast I am welcome in, espec when my private plates get put back on, they won't know it's a different car - haha !!
