Let me guess, you contact them and it is "oh I'm sorry, there's been a mistake, it should be 100,000 miles" just like all those Auto Trader adverts that put 120 miles instead of 120,000.

Highly unlikely.

A friend has 2 with 60k ish on. Both Cat C repair jobs.

Read the advert? Says:
" Engine & Clutch Replaced by Southampton Audi 2008 - 10,000 miles covered since (84000 Total) "

Mystery solved!

Those idiots piss me off. Just like the clowns that put the monthly payment as the price, to show up in your results.

That drives me mad. The ENGINE has done 10k. The rest of the chassis and all drivetrain components have done 84,000!!! Stop being so economical with the truth!!

why the engine swap?

[johnpeat]

It's had a new engine (not entirely unusual) but it also stands-still 8 months of the year (not ideal) - it's not a pristine example, let's just say that.

I'd not travel for it but if it were local I'd go and take a look/test-drive and if I liked it I'd make an offer (directly or via eBay as the seller preferred) - simples!

You can't really tell much about a car by looking at the ad, y'see - you need to go kick tyres...

Thank you everyone I think I will be safe and keep looking
