You can just imagine the customer walking in to pick up a new A6, to be told it's no longer available...

Proactive to used car market?... As you elude to, these words are but meaningless drivel to Audi 2015. Its stack em high until the roof falls in...

Similar concept, but how many structural upright supports are there in car parks equally taking the load of upper levels. Bet there's not that many in the ground floor of this or the other dealerships that have the same footprint.

Either engineering design failure or human oversight with overloading the capacity of the 1st floor.

Probably the sales director dropped his wallet....

It conjures the cartoon image of a 24 stone Sales Director, with Havana Cigar and wads of £50 notes stuffed in his double breasted jacket, wedged in a leather lined S8 with a wife the size of Hampshire...

Staring at each other as the nose of the S8 slips through the crumbling ceiling...

Jardine is , I'm almost positive, Milton Keynes Audi ( actually I think their building is in Bletchley not MK !) ;just down the road from VAGTech and around the corner from Richter.

The dealship moved last year, its near Willen Lake now (Northfield), so the reps can come off J14 of the M1 and tailgate all the way to the showroom :lol:

(Old Site - Wayside/Jardines is a now a Kia dealership), even the old bodyshop was sold off as a separate concern.

:tup: Ah... shows I haven't been in the area for well over a year.

I wouldn't buy one, it's the depreciation that bothers me. That lot have gone through the floor.
