People are sheep.

I had a the same thing when I sold my V5 Golf which was a UK spec parallel import like yours.

There is legitimate concern about lack of goodwill from UK dealers once out of warranty. As well as being reflected in the price, you could help yourself by stating the source of the car in your ads to save yourself the hassle of explaining it.

I bought our 2 and a half year old at the time S4 (5 years ago) from a main Audi dealer and it was also a parallel import. When I questioned them, they said it didn't matter - just check the spec to see if there's anything not fitted (it was VERY well specced up). They were very dismissive of any differences.

Might not have been the same if I was asking them to buy it instead of sell it!!

Thankfully, I can now avoid the Audi dealerships.
