Had one quite a few years ago who bought an A6 Avant quattro which I had owned for 2 years and one owner previous to me I had known the car from new, lives 200 miles away from me - Calls me and sends me email telling me gearbox is knackered wants me to pay in full £6k, his mate is an auto gearbox specialist !
I asked about mileage and he was very not forth coming as it was ' only 6 weeks' he'd had the car , i wouldn't agree and told him to take to nearest Audi dealer and I would pay them to check it over, made all excuses it it was an hours drive etc etc - I refused politely to pay until it was confirmed by Audi !
Eventually car goes to Audi - very, very help guy - car had done circa 8000 miles been skiing in the alps , turned out drive shaft issue cost me circa £250 - !! I told him that was a good will gesture as it was out of warranty 3 months /3000 which ever was the sooner !!
He must have thought I was a mug £6k of-course a cheque is in the post ! #not
