    How many pre face lift rs3 were made

    I thought that about the B5 RS4 which is rarer and is arguably one of the best looking audi's ever but they have sat at the around the same money for a very very long time, even the much rarer RS2 prices have hardly gone bonkers and that started it all of

    No RS3 orders being taken

    I wouldn't buy a new TTRS for 25k well only if I could flip it for a profit

    New RS3 2017

    Sound tuning will be the last thing they do, they will keep it low key for most of the ring testing R golf owners can "fix" the fake sound in a couple of hours with a visit to milltek, they sound pretty decent with a new system, I would take one straight from the dealer to get it fitted, sure...

    New RS3 2017

    I had number 11 of the B5 RS4, they sounded ****** fantastic, I don't know if i still have the videos I took from the introduction day at silverstone So I have full faith Audi will work thier sports exhaust magic once again with the RS4 Totally agree about the fake noise, I love the M4 in...

    So long and thanks for all the fish

    I stupidly waited a couple of months before selling mine during which the book prices crashed due to audi flooding the UK with the unallocated production of 8V, i checked a few days ago and there was over 100 RS3's for sale ... I still got a lot more for it than i expected, it avg'd about 3.5k a...

    Bit of advice please.

    90% of the time that's just a game, they just want you to sit and sweat and then sign what ever they put in front of you, you can play games with them if you know the key words they look for, they latch on to them lol

    3k margin on your car is reasonable, they have high overheads, money tied up etc, need some wiggle room to discount the buyer etc. They also offer a more secure service and offer finance and support. The lack of discount on the new car is just a p**s take IMO, but some dealers have zero...

    go chat to the dealer, with that trade price for yours i would be looking at a cost to change of 23k or less to pull the trigger a lot depends how long they have had the car of course, how much they want to get rid of it and what there monthly target figures are also how much do you want the...

    I just ran this 14 plate car with 19k through WBAC and it came back at £19,600 options are generally worthless with regard to trade price http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/audi/s3/audi-a3-s3-tfsi-quattro-5dr/6099993?v=c

    Fault code U0101

    be careful audi are s**t hot on looking for modded cars, when my RS3 needed a new mechatronic unit (gearbox would go in N on high load corners) they had the car in for 2 days for an Audi UK expert to come down and crawl all over the car looking for signs of mods (apparently they can get error...

    Bit of advice please.

    Audi have dumped a large number of RS3's in the UK from the unsold production as there is a face lift A3 out. So there should be discounts to be had, with dealers you will only get money off the car or an over book for your car or a combo of both, but there is a fixed amount they will discount...

    New RS3 2017

    whilst i love the 5 pot engine and its noise and i truly think its one of audi's all time great engines its not a patch on the R8 V8 i had for a week, with the sports exhaust that thing had 2 sets of bypass valves, a normal one that opened on start up etc like the RS3 but a second one that...
