Spinning plates

I'm thinking of buying an Audi A4 convertible from a friend. It was first registered March 2005, petrol automatic with additional Sport pack, satnav and heated seats. Are there any common faults? I have a Mercedes CLK 2002 Kompressor to sell which has a cherished number plate that I would like to transfer to the new car. Where is the best place to sell my car quickly and how do I arrange this transfer and how long does this take?

See car-by-car breakdown at www.honestjohn.co.uk It’s usually safest to transfer the reg to a retention certificate and put the old car on an age related plate before selling it. Then transfer the reg from retention to the new car. More on that at www.dvla.gov.uk Best place to sell the car quickly: www.sure-sell.info
