Am I the only member with this view?

I know what you mean -
Thats one of the reasons I preferred the plug in boxes as discussed in the other thread Nick, It doesnt alter the orginal engine settings and all the "control limits" that Audi applies to protect the car from damage are still in place and function.

I wouldn't buy one that was advertised as such, but if everything else appeared unmolestered and I found out during a scan (or test drive suspicion) all else being equal I would buy it.
What I mean is that it's more about the previous owner's attitude to the car and remap than the remap itself. If they boast about it in the advert or when you meet them, I would not like that but I would make assumptions about their owner/driver profile, but if they kept it quiet, I would consider them conservative and careful.

That goes for any kind of modification really. I don't want a car from a tinkerer/messer.

Good point. I guess I'd be the same in truth. You can't always be to picky and so its always a case of ticking as many of the boxes as you can.
