Could do with some feedback...
I went to view a 45000 mile 03 plate S3 today, advertised for £8995.
Exterior was fantastic condition (except for the fact it had been keyed, not deep though and would be fixed as a condition of sale), including flawless Avus alloys.
Interior just okay... piano black cubby hole cover in centre console would need replacing (is this easy?) and some of the buttons have worn away (common fault I think, this happened to my last one)
The problem is that it is overdue a service (by 3 weeks, during which it has been driven almost daily according to the salesman). He also couldn't produce the service handbook though assured me it was complete. Also, when I wound the drivers side electric window down it wouldn't go back up (big problem?)
So... (I haven't committed myself to anything...) we agreed that if a sale was to go ahead I would give him £8500 if he sorts the keyed paintwork out, services it (he offered to send it to Audi), produces a correctly completed service book, new back tires (needed soon) and fixes the window. It would also be dependent on a positive RAC inspection (which unfortunately doesn't include diagnostics, but would surely be done by Glasgow Audi as a matter of course whilst it's being serviced?)
Any thoughts much appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt
