you bought a car in good working condition "less than 24 hrs" they are responsible for all repairs free or replacement of the goods as to what you purchased "unless the car was sold as seen" and even then you have rights to claim you cash back

the car was sold as is. and I attempted to claim my cash back but there is obviously a conflict on what exactly can be done.

its all down to the wording of the advert for sale, if he/she said it was good working order then they lied and you have a case

fault within 24 hrs means you have a claim

quick update...

I talked to the audi customer service after I found out that the recall work was done on my car. They want to inspect the car and see if it was the same... I will hear back from them in a couple of days.

I contacted audi and they are going to inspect the car right around Easter.

They told me that if I can hold off and not collect the insurance payment, that it would probably be best.


We shall see what happens

Ahh....My S4 burned down to the ground this morning!!!!!!!! WTF!!!!!!
I put the emergency flashers on...went into starbucks for a half cafe-non-fat-doubleshot-extra-hot-no foam latte....and when I got back outside there was a smoldering hulk and a fire crew standing around......oh man!

I was listening to Incubus...Pardon Me While I Burn....do you think that was a contributing factor? Is there a TSB on the wiring harnes for the emergency flashers??
