    Advice needed on B8 A4 2.0t Quattro S Line Black Edition Purchase

    Really??? Opposite of my research 10% on Finance is way over the top, been offered 5% recently. oh well. Will take another look. However, 4% loans are very hard to come by these days, saying that i've got great credit rating so you never know. Pesonal loans are always advertised at 4.X% but...

    Cheers xs2man! One word I'm afraid.... Finance! I was going to get a personal loan and shop around private but interest rates are A LOT worse when getting a personal loan! P

    Well... Looks like the car i saw was pretty rare. I can't find any 2.0T FSI Quattro S Line =>2008 anywhere this weekend! Let alone with the extras that one was rocking. ******!!!!!! the weird thing was that car hadn't been sold for 5 weeks, then as soon as I posted the link on here it was gone...

    Good idea Mo, would be well interested to hear what other 2.0tfsi owners have as there engine code and any oil issues they've experienced. We might be able to actually track this problem down. P

    Cheers Crazyfool! Reports are conflicting about duration, some say 2009 - 2011 and some say 2008 - 2010. Good to hear a solid bit of advice about what exactly to check with the dealer. Much appreciated..... I'll be searching for some this weekend. Will update with photos if I find "It!"

    Thanks for all your advice guys! Will definitely check oil issues when i find "The One". Can somebody just confirm what exactly is meant by "has had the engine work done". Are we talking a few bit's being replaced by Audi during a service or an engine rebuild or what?? Views seem to be...

    Cheers for the updates Mo! I reckon your right. I know I need to be patient but my MK4 GTI needs to be gone and I want some new wheels (oh yes....

    Haaa haaa. Wow! I popped in at lunchtime today and it wasn't sold. They must have just updated the advert online this afternoon. You are right, the sales guy shrugged his shoulders when I asked what the black edition included. He did seem like a massive pony tbh. Also think it was a little over...

    Also managed to get a snap of the codes for this car from the book: I'm presuming deciphering these codes would just give me the same results as registering the VIN on myaudi?

    Thanks for the response fellas! rum4mo - I'd read about oil consumption issues but thought it was only an issue for 2009 - 2011 models, guess I need to do some reading on that. Am I right in thinking that an engine rebuild would be required to permanently fix the oil consumption issues (will...
