Car shopping
Younger sis drags me out car shopping this afternoon to look at her 'shortlist' of Q7s
Two are nice, well specced Q7 SLine 3.0TDi with the usual toys. One however was a 5 seat(!) 58 plate car with 30k miles on it. Seemed well priced so we hit this one first -
The 5 seats were unusual, as was the chassis no which started "DVLASWAxxxxxx"
Turns out that the new DVLA issue these chassis numbers where a car's original identity cannot be determined or cat C writeoff or foreign import which had an IVA test.
I would suspect that this car is an import from Australia/Japan or similar.
Japan would be my first thought as the low mileage for the age would stack up.
The options decoder didn't show anything up apart from the 'Tropical option' and 'USA style' headlights
Anyone any thoughts on where this would have come from?
It's purely out of interest as sis bought a nice 2012 Q7 Tdi SLine+ later on this evening.
