    Anyone near Greenwich, CT that can check out an S7 for me?

    I need a BIG favor! I am in the process of purchasing a 2013 S7 from New Country Audi in Greewich, Ct. She will be a stablemate to my 2013 Q7 Prestige S-Line. I have purchased many, many cars from out of state, and sight-unseen, but it would bolster my confidence if some kind soul that appreciates these fine automobiles would lay eyes on it and give me some feedback.

    Normally, I wouldn't be as apprehensive, given it is coming from an Audi dealer, but my salesman says it appears the front bumper and rear quarter panel have been painted. The techs say the undercarriage is fine, along with all mechanicals, and the CarFax is clean, so it might be just some innocent blending due to a fender-bender. Either way, I would LOVE to get a discerning opinion as to if the work is noticeable, and if it is a "big deal" or a "you'd never know the difference" kind of thing.

    I know it is a BIG ASK, but is there anyone around there that can help me out?

    I have been in that dealer a few times lets say its not uncommon for them to be sending cars out for body work before cpo'd.

    Hmm. Good to know.

    OK, guys. Last chance to earn some brownie points with Santa! I have to make a decision Monday, 12/21. (tomorrow as I type this) This purchase is keeping me up at night.

    You can have the vehicle brought to our shop for a PPI.

    I ultimately passed on the vehicle, and supposedly they were going to wholesale it, after their big "revelation" that it had had extensive body work. After a week of asking the right questions, it finally came out that the car had been wrecked. The disturbing thing was that New Country Audi actually did the body work (or had it done), yet none of the salesmen "knew" about all of the extensive work. One bumper had been done previously (and poorly), and the dealer had two doors, the rear bumper, and a quarter-panel completely reworked and painted, without replacing the skins...which means metal work. CarFax still showed it as a "clean" car, and the dealer seemed to be passing it off as one, also. The whole thing was SUPER SHADY, and very disappointing.
