    Advice on audi a3 purchase

    I've noticed that the car I'm looking for it's a couple of thousands pounds more expensive if the white colour is bought. I wanna buy the white colour so I was wondering, is it worth to buy a non white colour which is cheaper and then paint it or it's not worth it and I should spend more and buy...

    Audi a3 1.6 and 2.0 litre - modding question

    Fair enough, so basically your saying that the room for fain on both 1.6 tdi and 2.0 tdi is very similar right? what do people usually do to get good acceleration power other than remapping? and how much these other mods can cost if one was to use them?

    Advice on audi a3 purchase

    Thank you there's this car that I've seen on autotrader, I haven't contacted the person as it's a private seller and I'm scared of buying cars from private sellers because they are sold as seen and I was once sold a golf that ended up being a bad purchase.

    Thank you for the prompt reply That makes sense therefore it's worth getting a black edition.

    Advice on Audi A3 purchase

    Thank you, what you're saying makes sense. I have been searching on autotrader mostly, sometime on ebay; as I said in the earlier post, prices for a car with most of the features I like was around 18-20k Do you think that's the average price or is it too much for these features?
