Newby here.
Looking for some advice on buying an S3.
Went to look at an S3 this morning. 2001 51 plate. Its got 90k on it. The car has been sitting on the forecourt for about 3 months. When the guy at the garage started it up the engine management light came on. he told me it would do this before he started it up. His reason for it was that it hadnt been on a run for quite some time and once it had been taken for a good drive it would be go out. Basically he was saying its a bit clogged, probably in need of a service. Does this sound plausable, or could it be something a bit more sinister?
