Anyone who pursues an "opportunity" like this after being warned, multiple times, deserves to lose their money. End of story.

From my experience, a good car.

I got one new and had it for 4 years. Dead reliable, fun to drive. Be aware the timing belt needs changing @ 110K and it's pricey. I wasn't a huge fan of how the PDK type trans chose gears in automatic mode, but it allowed manual shifting.

The car is basically an Audi version of a VW GTI.

Hey I have had A3 for 4 years now too and is NOT a POS! However I fully honor John Walker assertion. Oh with regard to the OP question, it is likely a scam. YMMV

Summary.

The person asked me for the funds to be transferred through yahoo wallet.


I asked him for a 'CARPROOF'- he said he was insulted but did get it.

I then told him I will give him $500.00 now and pick-up the car myself.

He then wrote back that-' inspection prior to payment will not be possible!'
That is not what I wrote!

Went back on kijiji and the ad is removed.

A Michael Norris is either a shyster or going to be shysted somehow.

What a wonderful world.

-btw-Thanks Fella's.

I'm shocked he didn't take your $500.

Salvage title? Wrecked car? Flood damaged?
