Almost bought this for Angie just now as she is looking for a TT Manual.

There is NO info on the advert saying ANYTHING about any bad history/damage etc. So I thought I'd pay £6.99 for the ebay vehicle status report.
Read it and weep! Wondered why it was sooooo cheap for a UK manual. Might make a good track day car, but would need to be cheaper than that.

Just thought everyone on here should know about this just in case you were thinking of buying it too. If you are the person who has already bid on this car, then I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
Even if it belongs to someone on this site, I think something as important as this should be noted in the description.
BUYER BEWARE.
