Hello,

I just purchased my first car. I did the research and was really interested in an Audi A4 1.8 T AWD. The VIN on the car I purchased is the A4 1.8 T AWD, but after just looking over my car again I can't believe I did not notice this but it's an A4 2.8L V6 AWD. Does anyone know how to get this corrected? Also, will it affect my loan and insurance?

I would enjoy the lower insurance payments and not go around telling people about it on the internet.

Hmm.... Your car is listed as 1.8T in the ownership? But when you open the hood it's a V6 stuffed there?

You did all the research but did you run a carfax or auto-check?

Is this a 1.8T with a 2.8 installed or is the vehicle a 2.8? Powered drivers seat,wood trim , leather only came on the V6. Chrome trim around the windows also.

If the VIN doesn't match the car, you could have a ringer . A stolen car with a VIN plate from a wrecked car. Your local state agency should be able to figure it out.In my state when a car is moved and registered in another state the state patrol checks it.

I'm not positive what engine it was. Carfax and Autocheck both said it was an A4 1.8T. I definitely did poor research on that one. I ended up returning it, I got an oil change at the Audi Dealership here and they serviced the car I had purchased and it had 99,xxx miles and I bought it with 77xxx miles. The dealership I purchased the car from showed me a completely different Carfax then what the Audi Dealership provided me after the purchase. What a nightmare! I'm just glad everything got taken care of. I just don't have a car now haha.
