Right been thinking of this for a while but keep changing my mind...
Currently got a 2000 pre-facelift S3, basically standard bar 18's and its a very tidy car which has given me very few problems in the last 2.5 years / 35k.
Its done 110k now and its 10 years old but I still love the old 8L shape, had an idea to maybe sell mine and 'upgrade' to a later model 02/03.
Pro's to this are obviously getting a younger car, facelift model and I would look for pre-modded example so would save some cash on mods.
Con's are that i'm basically buying the same car but spending more money, I know first hand how pricey these can be when they go wrong so I don't want to trade to a possible money pit !
Paying over the odds for a low mileage example is also pointless as I rack the miles up pretty quick so anything I get will plumet in value within 6 - 12 months anyway.
So what do you guys think - stick with what I have and just do the mods to mine or sell up and buyer a new car?
