Ok so i have a big problem when it comes to my A4 i got coilovers just installed and i tried to put on my 19in vmr 710s they are 19 by 8.5 235 35 19s when installing the tires i notice one is in the wheel well on the passenger side the the tire on the drive side is sticking out passed the well. After more thought i remember when i got the car CPO 2 years ago i had to bring it back bc the rear passenger door did close rigth and the window was binding. After looking more into it the whole door is a different door the interior doesnt even match the rest of the car is boss and that door isnt. then i noticed the paint doesnt match on the courter and the door has black filler inside where they didnt paint. i took the car for a 4 wheel alignment and after the wheel on the driver side is even father out and they told me i should look into getting my frame checked. the car has no car fax from a hit in the passenger rear quarter but i took it to a body shop and they said theres no if ands or buts the car was hit hard at the passenger rear wheel and they put an aftermarket door bumper tail light (which doesnt line up either) and a trunk which is out of line as well. im asking what i should do the car was CPO and i heard that you cant sell a CPO car with a bent frame or damage like this.

CPO doesn't catch everything on the inspection. They should have got this though. Carfax is garbage. There is absolutely no need to report to carfax, and now there are thousands of bodyshops that advertise that they DONT report to carfax to get more business. Never ever go by carfax. AoA is who you need to deal with on this one, but be prepared for a battle. Because unless you can conclusively prove that you didn't do it after you bought the car, they won't give you a dime. Good luck buddy.

If your description is accurate, then your car was definitely hit and hit hard. talk to a lawyer, and take action and fast. You dont want to to keep this car, you need to get rid of it asap.

i talked to aoa and they said i need to take it to the audi dealer to have them look over it and check the frame and then get back to them i hope it doesnt matter its on coilovers but the suspension has nothing to do with the frame being true

Well yeah. You should be fine with coilovers, it is what made it VERY apparent to you that there were issues. How shortly after you purchased it did you take it in for a door adjustment?

like 3 days after when i went to pick up my uncle who is a body man he sat on that side and tried to close the door and said something wasnt rigth and pointed it out to me so i took it back to get fixed and they said it was fine just was sagging a little and binding up top but it took them 3 or 4 times of me bring it back to fully get it right and a window motors but the top of the window was binding the motor and burnt it out.
