SINGH Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 It used to belong to a friend of mine, it had 96,000 miles on it then (80k now) and the repair bill was £13k. The guy paid about £8k for the car at a salvage auction. It's also on Pistonheads. I've emailed the guy this: Hi Buddy, Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but your RS 6 used to belong to a friend of mine. It had a lot more miles on it then, 95,000+... You may want to get onto the salvage yard for selling you a clocked car! The cheek of the gits... (Did I spell cheek right?) 2002 AUDI RS6 QUATTRO DAMAGED REPAIRED on eBay (end time 24-Mar-11 04:08:59 GMT) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabby Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 The fact the advert quotes the mileage and follows this with "100% genuine" makes me wonder if its the current seller that has been doing the clocking and not the scrapyard.

JamesB Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 It's the private plate that would clinch the deal for me. R55 SXC, he's mad giving that away. Yes, you spelled cheek right, but I don't think that seller is too worried about spelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SINGH Posted February 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 The salvage yard certainly had the right mileage. I was supposed to bid on it myself for the engine that was supposed to go in my S8 but just missed out. The previous owner is going to give him a call, Hopefully he records the conversation.

Tipex Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 (edited) So hows he done 13k of repairs for 2k, and still intending to make any profit? I realise thats a stupid question really, but 13k of damage can't be hidden for a grand or so surely? How bad was the damage? as it actually looks like a nice car, shame. Sounds like the bad history of this car dates back to your mate (or his insurer) getting stitched up with a dodgy over inflated repair bill.

cruiser647 Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Seller beware and do your homework. Trading Standards aren't interested in 'private' sellers clocking stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SINGH Posted February 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Also, the mileage is stored in the cluster not ECU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 How do these ****ing idiots survive? I'd be tempted to reply saying that you understand the previous owner has alerted the police to the fact his car is being sold clocked and he'd be very wise not to be caught with the car. Hopefully it'll scare him into getting shut quickly ... at a loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SINGH Posted February 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 My reply to him on 246.com and also quoted the idiots message. \ said: that rs6 not even yours so wat prove do u hav its your car I'm assuming you meant "proof" 1. An e-mail from you personally stating it was Clive's old car 2. A HPI report which I can can post here if you like that shows the last reg that was on your car was Clive's old private plate.

SINGH Posted February 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 This is the car after it's accident. As you can see it certainly wasn't drivable. Read this thread where the seller has decided to come along and insult everyone! He's been sending me PM messages asking who I am as he's going to sort me out, t*at.

Phantom Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 I just registered with RS246 to take a look at the thread, very amusing and nearly as funny as the Lexus_Maindealer thread a couple of years ago. Always interested to see what other items people have bought on eBay, anyone check out his eBay feedback?, should be easy to build up a profile of the owner from the following - New Studded Punk Pointed Toe Flat Casual Shoes - HipHop Gold Tiger Embroidery Jeans - Nail Art Glitter Purple Color Nail Varnish Polish - 10 Pair Long Nutural False Eyelashes Makeup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
