Hi folks, thought i would update you all on the issue i had with my audi s3 8v which i bought from stafford audi which are part of the swansway group. 30/12/2017. Which lasted until end of march 2018. In short the car was misold to me by audi Staffordshire. With major wiring loom damage, without being told of such things prior to purchase. At first audi Staffordshire said it had happened under my ownership until i contacted the first owner, in which he provided me the evidence/ bill payments from cheshire oaks audi of a previous repair of the rodent damage in which they said they replaced. but instead they had repaired the wiring loom via taping the damaged areas ! But stafford audi still would not budge and this went on overall for nearly 3 months i had no car in the meantime. Eventually it was heading to court with solicitors both on my side and there's prepared to argue the case and evidence before the court. Unfortunately for me 2 close family members passed away during this period and i was in no condition at this time to fight this as i had to put family above all else. And before the case began i took a settlement fee offer from swansway Losing 20% of the cars value from when i purchased only a few months prior, this case went all the way up to peter smyth head of swansway group who from my dealings with the man himself is not a nice bloke to go against to say the least. One thing i must say however is how great and helpful Stockport audi were during this ordeal as they were the ones who diagnosed the original damage and told myself and stafford the extent of it. I will post the link below so you can see this. After all the hassle of this i have now bought an audi rsq3 which i am very happy and impressed with to say the least. Sorry for the long winded post i just wanted to share the outcome of my experience with audi. And hope to help some future buyers to be more alert to issues than i was. Many thanks gavin.
