How should I disclose a paint defect on my car?
I have paint peeling on my car in one area...how should I disclose that in my selling advertisement? With a picture and a description?

The Audi A3 remains essentially unchanged for 2012, laying in wait for the next generation to debut for 2013 with enhanced driving dynamics, a more aggressive look and new technological inclusions. In the meantime, drivers have only a few complaints - the heated seats work "to spec" but do not perform as expected, and certain features are excluded from the A3 that some drivers have come to expect from a car of its class, notably a garage door opener, power passenger seats, memory settings, auto-dimming mirrors and automatic headlights.
That said, drivers highly acclaim the A3's fun personality, mature yet unpretentious style, stately interior and potent blend of performance and practicality. Being a sport hatchback, the suspension can be a bit stiff (although it is decidedly better than most), road noise is noticeable but not bothersome, and taller passengers are none too fond of the back seat - but such compromises are not new to the class, and none of the current owners are surprised that a sports car behaves like a sports car.
Feature highlights of the Premium trim include a 10-speaker sound system with CD player, satellite radio and an auxiliary audio jack. Otherwise it comes equipped with all the expected amenities up to leather upholstery, but not including a power-adjustable driver seat or multifunction steering wheel until you opt up for the Bluetooth Value option package.
The Premium Plus A3 trims come with the Bluetooth Value option package and add xenon headlights, LED running lights, shift paddles with the automatic transmission and aluminum interior trim. Navigation, multimedia interfacing, a 6-CD changer, automatic headlights, automatic wipers, rear parking sensors and auto-dimming rear-view mirror are available only through optional upgrades. Heated seats and mirrors alongside other cold-weather considerations are available in a Cold Weather package. A Sport and Titanium Sport package add aggressive detailing and performance-tuned components.
Front-wheel drive is standard, with all-wheel drive standard in the Quattro and TDI diesel - which means these trims also come standard with the S tronic dual-clutch automated manual. All others have the option of S tronic or a 6-speed manual, and powering all but the diesel TDI is a turbocharged 2-liter 4-cylinder good for 200 hp and 207 lb-ft of torque and between 21 mpg city/30 highway depending on the transmission choice. The TDI version is good for 140 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque, but it fetches an amazing 30/42 - at the cost of about 2 more seconds to reach 60 mph from a standstill over the merely average 7.2-second showing by the 2.0T.
As can be expected with Audi, the A3's new crash safety tests came back immaculate, and although the A3 is not as loaded as the price may suggest, sometimes safety truly trumps all. Reliability and refinement are certainly the strong points for the A3, but drivers expecting more than a beautiful car with a fun personality should probably shop around.

-I have checked the HPFP and there are no metal shavings. -Emptied the fuel tank and filled half full of fresh diesel fuel -Installed dealer purchased in-tank fuel pump, inline fuel pump and the fuel filter. -New Air Filter -New Oil and Filter What is the quickest/easiest way to check the turbo?
I have the option of buying one 2012 Audi doA3 2.0T TDI Premium Wagon FWD cars with 110,903 miles at $7000 and has 2 owners with no damage reported. Is this of a high mileage? Is there a point where they go down hill fast? What is really milage is for German cars like Audis and how far it can drive? FYI: This is my first car
I just finished paying off my car, but am waiting for my title in the mail which should arrive in 4-6 weeks.. I want to sell my car soon, and prefer to list ASAP. If my car sells, how does car guru reconcile the title issue since I don't physically have the title in hand yet?
My 2012 audi a3 car periodically dies a few seconds after starting the vehicle (I usually get out of the parking spot). It has never died starting from home - only after I have driven someone and parked the car. It only dies when I start the car - not after it has been running. I have taken it to the dealer twice. They first replaced the battery and then replace the high pressure fuel pump. Neither of these solutions have worked. So far it has died in this fashion 3 times in the last 2 weeks. Temperatures where I live have fluctuated significantly in the past 2 months and I have also added fuel line anti-freeze. This has not seemed to work either. Yesterday the car died again. I tried starting for 5 minutes with hard cranks and no success. Then, popped the hood, jiggled the MAF and it started right up. This could be a complete coincidence but thought it was worth noting. I added more fuel line anti-freeze yesterday. My tank was about 1/4 full it was the hottest day of the year yesterday 10 degrees celcius (50f) and the previous week was somewhat cold Also to note is that in the morning there is a hard crank of 2-3 seconds. The temperature here is <= -5 degrees celcius which is equivalent to below 23 degrees F. I'm really stumped here. Any help is greatly appreciated. The dealer refunded me for the service and replacement of battery however I am still out $850 on the high pressure fuel pump and service for that job. I want to try and figure this out without having to go back to the dealer as I have no confidence in their ability after several past experiences. I have attached a picture for the sequence of events I plan on giving this picture to the dealership should I have to bring it back to them. Thanks a lot.
