I'm looking to sell my 2006 A3 TFSI S Line Special Edition. It has just over 61k miles, full service history, MOT until mid 2017 good condition, 3 previous owners (I have had it for past 6 years). Would anyone have any idea what it might be worth? It's hard to compare to most on the likes of...

Specced up or not, I hope you enjoy it :racer:

Surely they must have made a mistake or you had to put down a large deposit?? £255 seems cheap........ all the better for you though as that seems to be a very good price!

Maybe, but wouldn't get one of them for under 30k!

Ah yes, Mr TRL as I believe he is known as over on babybmw.net. Im in the South East, so not a million miles away. He is the one offering the good discounts!

I know most on here are going to prefer the S3, as most probably currently own one, and the same goes for asking on a BMW forum, most will prefer their BMW's. However, from looking on various sites, reading/watching reviews etc I think it's clear (even from my own limited experience now) that...

lol, she is actually quite good when it comes to my car, she isn't too bothered what I get and just lets me get on with it really. It was more her observation with how I must have been reacting during each test drive that I found interesting as I wasn't aware I was acting any differently, but I...

Just thought I would give a reply to this as I have today test driven an S3 Sportback and on Saturday I had a test in an M240i (there are no M140i’s in the area) but at least it gave me some idea to ‘maybe’ help with my decision making….. M240i Sounds better than the S3. I felt the gearbox was...

Would like 4/5 doors though.......... I don't ask for much do I! :smiley:

I tend to keep my cars for 2-3 years, if not longer. My A3 I have had for 6 years which is the longest I have had a car for. Civic Type R I had for bit over 4 years and other cars, mainly Subaru's at the time, I had for 2-3. The out of warranty thing also plays on my mind a little, that was...

I guess I may get slightly biased views but thought I would ask anyway :) Currently have an Audi A3 2.0L TFSI S Line and looking for a change (had it over six years now/it's about 10 years old). Cars I have been considering are: BMW M135i Audi S3 Mercedes A250 engineered by AMG Mercedes A45...

That is true, although no good for me at my local dealer as they wouldn't do just an interim service on my car even though I asked for one. If I insisted on one then they couldn't fully reset the service indicator. They still said I need an inspection service as I have gone over the two year...

Thanks for the replies. Getting it done at a local place near to where I work. Have had it MOT'd there last few times and they service our work cars too so know their work is OK. They charge £204 for a long life service, using genuine audi filters etc so it's booked in end of next week :sm4:

My main issue is them still charging for spark plugs/the time required for this when my car doesn't require them. They did not mention brake fluid either?

Hi, I have a 2006 A3 2.0 TFSI which is now due a service. My local Audi dealer quoted me over £340 for a major service including spark plugs, however, when I looked at my previous service which was two years ago (cars had long life services) it had the same service, inc spark plugs. I...
