If you're asking somebody to do a CARFAX for you, don't. That's not only illegal, it's not going to earn you any points on this or other Audi forums. If you're asking something else, please clarify.

 

Please let me clarify, I DO NOT WANT A CARFAX !!!. I have a CARFAX from the dealer. All I want to know is what do the numbers and letters stand for !!! what factory, day built, options, color, etc. Sorry I asked the question. jtv4.2

your awesome... yes!!! now we are talking... your the man avant80@2.6 thanks a million... jtv4.2

 

Find out where the car was serviced, and try to get the service codes for what was done to the car previously. A good dealer will do this for you.

BTW - for future reference "VIN" stands for "Vehicle Identification Number" so when you say "VIN number, you are saying Vehicle Identification Number number." That just drives me crazy. Just say VIN. We know what it is LOL!!!

 

That has always driven me crazy as well.
