It goes without saying that I'd get a car that has low ownership and in at least 'very good ' condition, besides looking for some nice 'toys', ��.
I was a little shocked also, but my D4 was a one owner Audi approved car that looked great, I just noticed a tiny bubble on the inside of the tailgate. The car was resprayed twice in two years, new doors fitted and a new boot lid....

My research suggested it could have been limited to a batch of early cars, there was a suggestion that a delay on the production line could have left them as bare metal for an extended period. I was very glad that it cost me nothing apart from inconvenience, but I guess lots were not or won’t be as lucky!

Suggest a fine tooth comb, every panel!
