I think it hinges for me on if the tyres are actually Goodyear biggrin

The fact this Audi A4 is the 2.0 TDI is somehow even more the icing on the cake.

I had no idea that tyre stickers are a thing. I assumed people were just painting the letters. Now I know they are applying rubber stickers I can't decide if that makes them sad or me old. (or both). In one advert I found it says they will report you to the authorities if you are applying the sticker to the wrong brand tyres. Who are the correct authorities? Fashion police?

Cheap to insure? Maybe, but it does take six hours to type in all of the mods.

That S7 is really bad.

Is it though? Not a fan of the blacked out look or subs, but the rest looks pretty OEM and running good power...

''As add all common problems sorted''

The above quote from the ad and the fact it has a vape in the centre cubby should be the final nails in the coffin....well that and mods up to 650bhp on 98000+ would worry me-illiteracy aside....

I honestly feel like I can smell the interior of that S7 just through the pictures.
Do you know what I mean?
I couldn't describe the smell that I mean, but you'd know the smell if you smelled it.
And you would smell it, occasionally, despite it having a vac&fresh / magic tree covering it up. You'd still get a whiff of it every now and then.

Excessive use of the word "smell" to reinforce my point.

It's not that bad apart from the speakers in the boot and the plate, which tell me the owner potentially has not mainted the car as well as it could have been. 650hp on the S7 dual clutch box would worry me long term as well.

None of these make the car badly modified, only ‘I don’t like the sound of the owner’.

Funny enough running the same power as my CL and same design of wheels- maybe I should post my car on here too?

Not only that, they've also slapped Dunlop and Michelin stickers on the bloody thing confused
