What does this even mean it's like dpf is being referred to as some kind of a special edition or an optional extra does it stand for something other than diesel particle filter in this ad. Very weird ad somehow I don't think there will be a que to buy it.

A right clown that fella. Foggy pics are great! And a dpf is not a selling point probably the opposite.

Stupid out and the bit at the bottom about having to pay for the car before the buyer can take it. Has he let buyers take his cars in the past without paying for them. It's kind of assumed you pay for a car when your buying it.

If he doesn't want to talk rubbish then he shouldn't put up a rubbish ad. The photos are terrible and the description is so badly written. Sometimes I wonder if these done deal ads are genuine. Who would even go near a car with a seller like that?

Seems like he doesn't have a clue about cars and assumes that dpf is part of the name of the car, "an a4 dpf". Seems like a plonker, nice car none the less!

Does anyone here know where you can buy colour matched paint in a can? The scrapyard refused to sell me the cover of the wing mirror so I'll have to buy a new cover and paint it myself.

Main problem with that is that it's a smelly diesel. I'd be happy with a 530i in about two years time, not right now though.

Sound man! Supposed to be looking at a Touring from a previous boardsie with the intention of buying if it checks out so I'll see how that goes.

I'm sure it'll be fine but keep an extinguisher handy just in case.

Be an awful pity to see all your hard work go up in smoke.

The closest I've ever cut it with the golf never let go under 1/4 almost all the time. Still no light though.

No I just couldn't do that I'd be a nervous wreck :pac: I just always fill it and keep it fairly full just habit I suppose really. You'd get into some peoples cars relations and they never have a drain of fuel in them some id say never see over 1/4 tank.
