So my replacement car came from them... IT was a demonstrator and had about 1700 miles, but I got a good discount on it..

Low and behold the WHOLE RIGHT side of the car had been repainted.. a Really bad job to boot... and they DID NOT disclose this to me or the Dealer that traded for it...


What should I do?

There was a small part of the clear coat coming off, and the body shop at my delaership Audi of Oakland, Found that the whole side of the car had been repainted...

Either make them repaint it to your satisfaction...or get yet another car.

I just know that a friend drove the Imola S4 at Stevens Creek 2-3 weeks ago (or so) and reported that the salesman encouraged him to drive the car hard and in a way that led my friend to believe that he was not the first person who had been encouraged to drive that car hard.

I dont think that it is, because it was delivered to Niello.. According to the window sticker...

Car is being returned to Niello Tomorrow

I had the same problem when I purchase my new E320
the rear drive side passenger door was respray and
there was no history or report. To make a long story
short, I threaten to park my car in front of the
dealership with a sign that read " Some Dealership
likes to sell defective or damage vehicle as new "
They respray to my satisfaction and cut me a check
for $9500. Good luck

Nogaro bought from Royal Motors in SF, Serviced there for transmission, Then serviced at Audi Oakland.

Imola Purchased from Audi Oakland but they traded it from Niello

Keep us posted!

Infact they have bent over backwards to ensure that I was always happy with the service I obtained. True, the sales department was always schiesty, but then that's sales no matter where you go. Their service department is superior, top-notch infact; very good at communicating with the customer.

I suggest talking to Kevin McKenna in the Service Dept. He's a great guy and will make sure to help you out no matter the issue. I purchased my A4 from Niello's lot in 2001 and always got excellent service from them. In March of this year I picked up the S from Negherbon (Audi of Oakland) and Niello still gives me service as if I bought my car from them.

Again, I am sorry for your misfortune and hope that Niello pulls through for you. Keep us posted on the turn of events. Good Luck.

and wanted to charge me extra for a bunch of things!

some fighting.
