I'm really sorry to hear about this. It pains me to say this but it's becoming all too common in the Greater Manchester/Liverpool conurbation. Mine, Leon's and two or three others off the forum (one was somebody's father's RS4) all stolen in the last twelve months.
First and foremost, the...
Bad news, all too common in the North West nowadays. Mine went in slightly different way but a work colleague's A4 TDi was taken in a similar fashion a couple of days ago and he's not far from you. It was debadged and it was the special edition with the RS4 style alloys etc so hope they got a...
Cheers for the reply.
20" wheels sound painful!
I was thinking about the debadge option too, although I have heard some leasing companies don't allow it or can be a bit funny about it.
Mine is also a company car and the leasing company are currently processing the order. I think I'm going...
CoolCurly and theGman how long between placing the order and delivery date? It was just under three months for my S3.
What spec have you guys gone for?
Hope the wait isn't too bad!
As everyone else has said he hasn't got a hope. Even if you hadn't put 'Sold as seen' on the paperwork there is no guarantee given or implied with a private sale and it is up to the buyer to establish that full history is full history to his satisfaction. For the record I agree that you do have...
I do sympathise with you. I had problems with one dealer (to make clear it wasn't Bedford though) failing to fix the window problem on my S3 and the squeaking brakes. Also, I did start to hear a grinding noise from the NSR when braking after reversing slowly. Their reply was 'Sorry sir, we can't...
To answer some of my own questions, I drove a FWD 170 yesterday and once moving it's pretty similar to the BMW. Off the line the BMW is understandably quicker due to the greater traction of RWD.
The dearer Bluetooth kit enables you to charge your phone but a separate cradle is required and...
Firstly, apologies for such a long post - I am very close to ordering a Black Edition to replace my now long lost S3 which was stolen earlier this year. As it will be a company car this time, I'm going for a manual FWD 2.0 TDi 170 Sportback and have a few questions.
Thanks for all the photos...
That sounds correct, the first is for an oil and oil filter change (mine was at about 13k) and the second for other items except oil and oil filter (mine was at about 18k). If the two are very close together then it makes sense to do both together and any sensible dealer will. If your annual...
Correct, I remember when Leon's (username phantom) was stolen he said it had put him off having a nice car, I'm currently debating this at the moment with regards the car I will replace the S3 with.
Mine was always garaged and I don't actually live in Manchester itself but then again it wasnt...
Well mine got stolen a few weeks ago. You're taking a risk if you have anything desirable, the question is: should you let it put you off spending your hard earned on something you want?
Leon, sorry to hear this. I'm glad the family are ok and I hope it doesn't spoil Christmas for you too much. I also hope the scum that did this get what they deserve.
I read in the paper about the RS4 that got stolen locally a few weeks ago.
I hope you haven't been put off too much and one...
