    It doesn’t have DAB? What car produced in the last c.15 years doesn’t have DAB? Are you sure you’ve not just missed it in a menu?

    what car is it and media system?
    OP appears to be a little coy in providing any details regarding:

    Make
    Model
    Age
    Mileage
    Price

    The OP explained they do not want to be identified by giving all that information.  We do know:
    it was a VAG car 

    I paid asking price for the car
    It was not a franchise dealer or car supermarket.  It was a garage that carries out repairs as a tradition garage but the other arm of the business is selling a smsll number of cars.

    Given the risk of stating the car identifying the OP, we have to assume it was not a Golf.
    Perhaps it is an XL1, not many of those about.

    OP’s previous (https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6604122/mileage-how-high-is-too-high) was a similar ‘light on detail’ post - but (unless they come back and tell us that was just a hypothetical question) it’s

    German
    10yo
    petrol
    140k miles
    has a cam belt 

    So that narrows it down a bit 🤣🤣

    This is at the bottom of the AT specification sheet.

    "we recommend that you always check these details with them before purchase"

    The list is compiled automatically on seller supplying reg number.

    Not knowing the year of the car, if relevant, quite a number were sold without items due to COVID shortage.

    MANY MANY cars in the last 15 years (2010) did not have DAB. MOST, in fact. They started appearing 2012ish onwards,  check your facts. If you said,  10 years,  id let you off.

    Hoping this will all be resolved end of this week after constructive dialogue with the garage. 

    Mods: please close the thread. 

    Thanks

    Ps

    Thanks for the to the some of the usual mse contingent: angry middle aged men/nosey brigade with nothing to contribute (eg see above re DAB & 15yrs comment , ''coy comment))/armchair detective/bored lonely single trolls scrolling past threads like the saddos that you are.

    Thanks to the handful of genuine,  albeit,  usually curt MSE contributions. 

    As mentioned,  this will be satisfactorily resolved this week.

    Wishing you peace ✌️ and joy in some of your grey lives ✨️
