I have been following this thread for 5 pages, PM me the VIN and a direct email address for you and I will get you an answer as to the prior owner.  I am leaving shortly and wont be back until Tuesday, but if you can get it to me by noon today, I can tell you what I found.  I need the VIN and a direct email address for you.   I cannot believe the Audi dealer won't even call the prior owner for you.

Will get it very soon!

Thanks for jumping in here, TSS.  This has been driving me slightly nuts, too.  Everyone has had good suggestions but Coyote really needs to chat with the prior owner.  I am disgusted that the Audi dealer will not contact the prior owner but there is more than one way to skin a cat.

TSS

Yeah,  I was sitting tight because I was positive it was going to easily resolve itself through the dealer being an intermediary.  I can't believe they are refusing to even contact the owner themselves and give him Black Coyote's number.  Makes you wonder if there might be something more to the whole story on the dealer's side.

My thoughts exactly.  I wouldn't trust that dealer as far as I could throw an Audi A8.

TSS

Coyote:  You gave me half of what I asked for.  I have the info you need.   Give me a direct email address and a phone number for you.  After I have that, I can call you with all the info I have.

Funny you say that..because I was looking at the car yesterday and I'm hoping it's my imagination but I think the window lines don't match up on both sides.. like it may have been in a accident.  >:(   . I also hear slight wind noise in the rear driver side window  near the top of the window while rolling along....yes the windows are all the way up.

Does the vehicle have xm radio and is it active? There is a serial number or meid number on the screen display and write it down and then you can call XM radio and politly find out info on who subsribed.
Now this is genius..question is can I get a number out of them?? I believe it does have xm.. sadly I did see one of the stations I believe it was sirus, that said I need to subscribe...but maybe I can call and be like I want to re up the current one and try to get the info out of them that way.
I had a NON PP SHO and a week later traded it in for my PP SHO,when i called siruis xm they asked me for the MEID # and they provided me with the previous subscriber,which was me,hope this helps.

I'm sure you have tried but did you check for previous addresses in the GPS system.  Maybe they stored their home location in there.  I found the previous owner of my car that way.

Great idea too Don. 

I talked to Coyote on the phone and gave him all I had.  There still seems to be some unanswered questions about chain of title, but he has two leads and I know for sure who the original owner (a company) was in October 2012.   And I followed the plate that was on the car when it was owned by the company to the present vehicle the plate is on and that owner's info.  Hopefully that will help.
