End of an Era. The A3 is sold :(

Markb · Nov 19, 2006

As subject I took a deposit on my car tonight so it will be going either this week or the following week.

It will be a sad day when she goes, but it's time to move on.

Just some pics to remind me:

It's going to a chap from Wales. So keep yours eyes open for it Dicky, Andy etc...

Mark.

jojo · Nov 20, 2006

Goodwork Mark, lead the new owner onto the forum, guess you got the price you was after, what next mate?

Markb · Nov 20, 2006

I will indeed lead the new owner onto here.

Yeah I got a price close to what I wanted for it. So I am happy.

As for new cars I'm still not sure LOL

Herby1 · Nov 20, 2006

concoursneil · Nov 20, 2006

Jaywoo_A3 · Nov 20, 2006

Well done mate. Glad to hear its gone for the money you wanted.
and hope the new owner appriciates it and respects it as much as most of us on the forum.

I know it's going to be a horrible feeling seeing someone else drive my baby off

dultanur · Nov 20, 2006

if you get sad, just think about all the good times you've had... :blackrs4:

and beleive me it's much easier than seeing it driven away on the back of a truck after being totalled... :bye:

DPM · Nov 20, 2006

Happy for you pal... Bring on the next project eh!

ChriS3 · Nov 20, 2006

Sad to see that one go. Don't forget to take loads of pics of it before the new owner gets hold of it. What's coming next?

rickparmar · Nov 20, 2006

Don't think he purchased a Supra, insurance would be murder, something more practical methinks, and used daily....

Rob W8 · Nov 26, 2006

Integra or Civic Type R?

concoursneil · Nov 26, 2006

ACCORD

****** rice racer :puke2:

Got it in one mate.

An Accord type R.

Couple of phone pics:

Not too everyones taste, but I like it

As Joe said I was after something practical that performs well.

jojo · Nov 27, 2006

Heavy on the fuel though, it's quite a heavy beast, goes and handles pretty well though Mark. :thumbsup:

concoursneil · Nov 27, 2006

Mark get rid of the shopping trolley handle on theboot , get something a little more subtle, looks nice though mate,
Plenty of nice wheels out there for it , large with Stainless lips :yes:

sounds good to me especially on black car.

No doubt it wont stay standard for long ....... :eyebrows:

You know it makes sence , but sublte tho please

I will keep it subtle, but I'm not changing the spoiler that's part of the car!

Hopefully this one will stay mostly standard. That's why I wanted a car that has had a lot of things done from the factory (Body kit, wheels, seats etc...) to stop me spending money on it!

Will probably:

Lower it
Change the wheels
Change the exhaust system
Induction kit

Then performance mods!

A3_Turbo · Nov 27, 2006

Thats a nice motor mate, mind if i ask how much it set you back and plate is it on?

Got a great long list, but half of that went on labour as I took it to a Honda Main dealer to keep it's full Honda Service history.
