Evening all,
I'm still hunting for my 8L's replacement, sadly the one I had my eye on was snapped up before I got back so I'm back on the ol' autotrader. My question is simply about mileage, and buying cars with high ones - what does everyone think is sensible for a 2007 S3? I've learned my lesson of saving a bit of money on a leggy example since I'm still paying to sort my current 8L - bought it at 106k, now on 115k - but there must be some middle ground that's safe.
There are a few 8Ps for sale with less than 30k, but would saving a grand or so and getting one with closer to 50k be stupid? Maybe even 60k? Coming up to 4 years old means that's only 15k a year... doesn't sound so bad, right?
What specific servicing items should I be looking for on "better traveled" cars? Why do S3s have to be so hard to buy? What's a hypotenuse? Actually, ignore that last one. Or two.
Thanks
Martin
