Wheel Alignment?
Hi there folks!
Just wondering how do you know if the alignment is out?Is it similar to when your tracking is out and it pulls to one side?When you guys mention about test driving a S its said make sure it drives properly,how does a S drive if you've never driven one!?One more thing does anybody recommend using DEKRA to inspect said vehicle?

Alinement is a funny one to place, a car may feel fine even though it is slightly out of spec, especially if it's your first ride and you have no basis for comparison.
Check for abnormal wear on the tyres it is the easiest way to spot if the alignment is seriously askew, don't worry to much about wear on the inner of the tyre, so long as the oposite number shows the same rate of wear.
Check to see if the car pulls or "wonders" or the steering feels a little "wooly" at speed.
Tyre pressures are critical in the S and under or indeed over inflated tyres can cause pulling or a general feeling of instability. Check these first, 32psi all round for OEM 16" rims.
Best thing would be once you've made your selection go and have the geometry setup/checked.
