Default Look at a LS430 on Long Island for me?

Is there anyone on Long Island, NY that can look at this 06 CL for me? It's located at Audi of Huntington on the north shore.

Thanks,

Greg

Looks pretty clean from the pictures

Since it's an Audi dealer, I doubt they actually know the specific packages. How you know if it's a CL-basically, did you ask them?

I don't see the laser cruise, no mention of power door closures, or the upgraded headliner.

Looks like a Modern Lux to me

Don't forget to have someone check the spare tire also and for 2 MASTER KEYS

I believe it is a CL because it has the headlamp washers but not the extra switches on the lower center console that are present on the UL. IIRC, the radar cruise has the shield over the front emblem, so this probably has the laser cruise. I asked the salesman to check the rear center console to verify lack of UL controls, but the car is out with the used car manager or getting detailed today. He just took it in trade on Saturday.

The shield over the emblem is for the PCS with radar cruise-UL only.

Radar cruise only is located on the lower passenger side bumper, I believe available with the CL:

Here's the break down of the different packages:

what do u need to look at in general?

i pressume, if any body work was done, if engine sounds correct, inspect brakes(pads and rotors), check interior cleanliness, overall rusting..anything else?

I'm going to pass on this car. Research uncovered some questionable items. If the car was CPO, I might go for it.

- Car arrived at dealer in late summer of 05
- Car sold by dealer in late fall of 06 (15 months of lot rot)
- Had work done on rear bumper assembly at about 2K miles
- At 5K miles, a stress fracture in the windshield was noted
- At 18K, the windshield was replaced.

BTW, they want $29.9K.

Yes, I'm still interested in getting a CL, but not that one.
