Calm down there, because it seems to be the way things are done on the thread, its easier, bit less convenient if on the phone too, nothing about entitlement at all, as you already have the details, may as well just provide the link, it can cause a bit of difficulty in locating the vehicle (it already did a few posts back when another poster could not locate the car),

I'm always calm, thanks for the concern.

There is no guesswork.

I don't do links.

You're either interested in the car or you're not, if you're interested then you have all the information you need without having to wade through thousands of other cars on various websites.

What's with this lazy sense of entitlement that links must be provided?

You would have found that car with the info provided quicker than posting the three questions that you decided to ask instead.

"You're either interested in the car or you're not"

You either want to show people the ad or you don't. I really don't understand why you wouldn't give the link

Easy on the name calling there's no need to throwing around personal insults.

KERSPLAT!

You're on the ad, it takes two seconds to copy and paste the link. The only reason you wouldn't is to be a pain in the arse.

Either put the links or keep those posts in the drawer. Please.

Wrong.

Right or wrong, the result is that it’s a pain in the arse. Maybe start your own thread of descriptions of cars for sale without links, see how it turns out.

Fair enough on other poster but the one you quoted was a joke/parody of said other poster.

You really expect to see an a6 at that price, let alone one from last year?

Please use links

100% agree but can links be sent while on the phone app?

Personally I look at this thread daily from my phone and I don't think links can be sent via the app

On the dd app hit the share symbol up on the top right of an ad and then scroll over to copy to clip board. Then come onto boards reply to thread and hit paste.

Job done

Glen_Quagmire

I know how to copy and paste a link, the app doesn't let you.

When you paste a link into a post and hit send, your post doesn't appear.

Not for me anyway on my android phone.

I have just tried it again there and the post didn't get sent.

It’s easier to use boards desktop site on the phone.

Yeah I was thinking that's how everyone gets around it because I imagine 90% of people on here are on their phones or tablets

The touch site isn't great but does the job!

What are these like on petrol

colm_mcm

Not amazing, it’s the older 8 valve engine as opposed to the FSI. It’s a very smooth engine though. Late 30s to maybe 40 mpg if you’re taking it easy.

The responsive site is basically impossible to use so the touch site is the only job.

NCT disc folded over to hide mileage maybe? Eyes wide open on this one, they’ve gone quite rare at this money.

Duke O Smiley

Was looking for one before I bought my e11 in December, anything under two grand was pretty much in bits

I’d say the cert is folded to hide the reg

colm_mcm

Ah. Hadn’t spotted that.
