I don't know.. but if it's clean on a scan, and mechanically it's a bargain.

LWB though, so I'm out

150k miles, maybe someone thinks there's almost zero market for it and the previous owner was ripped off.

That looks really nice for the money and it is pretty well specced - fridge, rear electric and heated seats, auto close doors and boot, rear table footrests and screens etc looks very clean for the miles and has only had 2 owners and full service history so probably a well looked after chauffeur car hence the high miles. I'd jump at it as long as you're ok with long wheelbase

I'm also very wary if a trader that doesn't advertise a landline number

Well, a car with > 100000 miles is not really liked by the trade as they're hard to shift.

A car with nearly 150,000 on the clock, they very rarely bother with.

It could simply be that it was traded in, and given the mileage they paid next to nothing for it, but if it was very well presented inside they might decide to retail it instead of auctioning it off straight away.

Their website looks ok, their domain name was registered in 2005 by a guy in Hampshire. Its not like a scan set up last week.

Personally, if you really want a W12 and dont mind LWB, then its got to be worth a phone call at least.

Given the mileage the drivers seat looks like new! Plus the wooden steering wheel rim should hide the miles too

If it hasn't definitely sold it's got to be worth a look if you're prepared to pay what they're asking and the cats etc are all OK

I agree - seems just like a poor AT advert - I googled the company and found the website, which looks okay, so why spend all the money on that showing you're an Audi specialist, then not link to it on AT?

I wouldn't have bothered trying to google them usually, would have just walked on by.

All in all, definitely worth a phone call.
