I would like to say a big thank you to Bob U who answered my early morning call on Saturday morning and was only too happy to help me out with an unusual request at really short notice.
I have been looking for a newer car and have been looking for a nice Audi A4 Avant TDi S - Line, I had looked at a few rough cars and the best ones seemed to go straight away before i could get to look at them.
Then one cropped up in High Wycombe that looked very nice in the adverts and was well specced and at a reasonable price as well.
Only trouble, Preston - High Wycombe is a 400 mile round trip which is a long way to go if the car is rough when you get there.
Then i remembered that Bob lives in Beaconsfield which is only about 4-5 miles away so i gave him a call.
Bob then arranged an appointment to view the car within an hour of my call, and went to have a look for me and then called me from the location and walked me around the condition of the car on the phone. It sounded nice so I made an appointment to view the car myself the following day. So late Saturday night I made the 3 hour journey and slept in my car near the M40, so that I could be there on time for my 9 am viewing on sunday morning.
I would have never travelled that distance down and back to look at a car on spec but was happy to do so having had Bob look it over first and report back to me.
The upshot is that I am now, thanks to Bob £10,000 lighter but this time next week, this little beauty will be sat on my drive, all being well !
So thanks Bob for all your help, I am know the proud owner of a rather flash V6 TDi Audi A4 Avant S Line.
