    Nope. One of the others you pointed me too. I'm talking to a few sellers.
  2. Test drove another one last night...weird story

    I called ahead of time to ask about the car. I was told there might be "some records". When I show up, no records are to be found. Tires were almost bald and rear brakes were worn pretty hard,...

    Does it let people know when someone tried to send them a message and the box is full? I didn't want to make a thread, but I didn't know of another way.

    Thread jack away..

    Same thoughts on the colors. I was debating whether it would be a good idea to drive it back up. I also agree on the sparseness, it's a pretty terrible ad.

    I've been making the rounds through...

    Bad states to buy from?

    It's been mentioned a few times that some states are better to buy from than others - example, staying away from salt. Are all NE cars bad choices then? What about other states?

    What about Las...

    Anything done under warranty will probably be billed at a rate higher than you could find if you shopped it around. My analogy on how the warranty stuff works is akin to medical billing - they...

    All issues I know of are listed in my first post based on the Carfax. The car has been in the service department roughly every 3-4 months.

    I suspect that only really low mileage ones are going to creep back up in price, and will only be valuable to owners who intend to keep them low mileage. I think you're going to see a flood of them...

    To be clear - these are 2 separate ads/dealers. That's part of what's confusing too - Platinum Autos (the second link provided) is the place I was looking at for the one that just sold with all...
  13. Buyer beware: Seattle area Craigslist ad

    http://seattle.craigslist.org/est/ctd/1977027263.html

    I called the listed dealer about this ad, and I was told a lot of things that don't add up given the Carfax I ran. I was told the car was a 2...

    Also - thanks for the offers to check out cars. I will continue looking across states and see if I can find someone on the forum to do a check on any that look promising (assuming someone here is...

    Interesting. I always thought that if you made a claim in the first 30 days, it's your own money lost, which is why everyone recommends waiting until a month or 2 later to make that first claim.

    Thanks for the extra info MMaturo. With regards to oil leaks, I have heard this is a common problem on turbo Audi engines in general, and a number of RS6s I have looked at seem to have this issue. ...

    Quick question on the warranty issue as I'm looking to purchase one out of state from where I will likely get the extended warranty. Will I technically need to do 2 PPIs in this case to guarantee...

    It's odd that the auction price was so high compared to others. The exterior was in awesome shape, it had all options, and it had that detailed carfax. I would think that carfax would be more of a...

    I checked the one listed for 42k. Warranty is only gold plus level and is good for one more year. Seller wants 39.5 and is in no hurry to sell - they have 5 cars. It hasn't had DRC recall done nor...

    I guess the important question to ask is, if the camshaft was replaced for any reason - when is that normal? It also sounds like I should check out at least 1 or 2 others to compare how they look...

    Ok, sounds like I have more homework to do. The current seller knows a couple of service people at University and claims they looked and didn't find anything. Part of the problem here is that there...

    When I talked to the service advisors at each dealer, they didn't claim to see anything outside of normal maintenance, but my sense is that they wanted to get me off the phone. I would ask about a...
