When a couple mates found an abandoned VR in a car park, they had to get a letter from the owner of the car park stating the car had been there for over 3 months. That was about 5 years ago in QLD.
I have a TT, I hate the look of the thing and was by accident i ended up with it, but it has done 270k and has only had a couple of hoses and a aux water pump replaced. It is a 2000 model 1.8t quattro.
Well I guess it is your money at the end of the day, just trying to say there are 2 sides to every story. I'm in no way saying I side with the seller, if he is completely dodgy he definatly deserved the email.
I guess I'm more concerned with the way you worded it, seemed a little to aggressive. I can understand petero'nell sending something like that but all you are going off is one guy on a forum who got a dodgy deal. His eBay feedback is good.
