Default Need Help PLEASE!

Hi people,

Hope all is well :-)

I really need your help please, I am thinking of buying a 2006 Audi Q7 4.2 FSI S-Line with 161 000kn on the clock.

Now, I see little indications of respray on the lips and the passenger door is hanging slightly. Also the left front headlight, the one corner, I don't know, seems melted (from heat). So I am still doing research about the car to see if it was involved in an accident, so far nothing though.

What are your thoughts? I am really scared that I'm going to buy a bag of problems here. I need some honest advice :-)

Kind Regards,
Christoff

Always hard to tell, but that door hanging plus the respray is a good indication it has sustained damage at one point. ( Audi's door hinges are among the strongest) doesn't mean it a lemon, but this Q7 should be way below market value.

If i had any doubts I'd walk away.
there is plenty of used Q7's on a market - look around.
Or if you feel to be really attracted to that one - take it to an indi body shop for exam.

My personal experience and belief - you get what you pay for and if the price is too good to be true, it is not. There are plenty of preowned Q7s out there. Good luck!
