MelonCrush23 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Therefore, I have made the determination that I need a V10. I have had my V8 manual for a duration of 2 years and I am rather fond of it. However, I am now interested in upgrading to a V10. Observed an automobile at a dealership that I find appealing. The item is in excellent shape, with a solid historical background, and operates well. Nevertheless, there are some concerns that are troubling me. The dealer has installed new front brake discs from Zimmerman. The brake pads used are TWM. The rear discs were changed at Audi 2 years ago and have since accumulated little mileage. However, there is some rust present on the inner face of the discs. The dealer has committed to rectify this situation. In general, there is a significant amount of surface corrosion present on all the suspension, braking, and steering components. Not a fatal condition, but much more than my 2007. The car has resided within a 15-mile radius of the coastline for the last 5 years, which I believe has not been beneficial. The dealer is displaying perfect transparency and is not attempting to conceal any information. Thus far, they have been really cooperative. However, the presence of rust has taken me by surprise. Do you have any opinions or ideas? Greetings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infamousmelons Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 In regards to my 2010 V10, I encountered a similar level of rust on the suspension as you have described. When I spoke with Ricky about this matter, he assured me that it was a common occurrence and not a cause for worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelonCrush23 Posted January 21, 2023 Author Share Posted January 21, 2023 I am astonished by the disparity between my 2007 vehicle and this 2014 one. Any mess can be remedied, hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kix Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 After a single dry-ice treatment, it will seem as if it is in pristine condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abovePleasant Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Do your plans include modifying any of those components as well? If the item is going to be replaced or enhanced, then it might be considered a sunk cost. Alternatively, are you primarily worried about the presence of unseen supplementary problems? Is it possible to get a PPI at your own expense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelonCrush23 Posted January 22, 2023 Author Share Posted January 22, 2023 Frankly, it does not meet my expectations. The automobile operates flawlessly without any audible vibrations, noises, or high-pitched sounds. This is a minor matter that may be easily resolved and clarified.

thinkshooter Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 You should not allow it to affect you in any way. Rear disc rust is a regular occurrence. You have received new updates. If all other aspects are OK, I would not be concerned in the least about the presence of rust on the suspension of a vehicle that has been in close proximity to the seaside for a period of 5 years.

RudolphNuclear Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Congratulations. According to forum rule #14.5, it is mandatory to upload photographs of the just acquired vehicle. Although I am not the one who establishes the rules, I kindly request that you adhere to them. Joking. Kindly upload photographs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelonCrush23 Posted January 23, 2023 Author Share Posted January 23, 2023 I have not yet received it. This is a substitute for my V8 manual transmission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
