    Facelift Appreciating value?

    I've tried in vain to move the rs3 on but I always get a crappy deal. So I've made the decision since I'll have invested about 20k in the car by the time I reach the mid way point unless they give me an considerable px on a cheaper car I will prob keep the rs3 with the intent of paying off...

    Facelift How does one sell an RS3 to a non dealer?

    Hi all As much as I love her, I can't justify what I spend on her a month Vs how much I use her. I've tried to sell her on to dealer for a cheaper car but the deals are never as good and I will always end up losing the sizeable deposit I out down Now she is worth (by comparing something...

    Facelift Too Loud?

    So im currently mulling over a sedate but new saloon or a used but fully loaded sportback, only issue with the sportback is it aint subtle..sports exhaust, red and those criminal roof rails but from a deal POV for the sake of 800 miles on the clock it comes with 10k of extras and used is the...

    Facelift Overpriced is a matter of perception

    Ok so every review i read or comment on a Youtube review, whinges about how for 55K with options that the Rs3 isnt worth it..yet a new M2 with DCT and comfort pack is about 54K yet i dont hear the same people whining about how that is overpriced when a vanilla Rs3 at 44K is as powerful? Is it...

    Facelift How hard is stock suspension?

    Currently waiting to hear from my guy at Audi if and when they will resume Rs3 production, if they dont then i will consider getting a stock Rs3.

    Facelift End of plate deal vs lower GFV?

    So after much research and deliberation will be going down the PCP route for my next s3 Now ive been reading that end of plate months (like march 2018) is a good time to get deals from dealers as they will be desperate to get old plate sales over the line and thus more flexible, now i thought...

    Facelift To lease again or not, that be the question

    So my PCH lease is up in 10 months and the company said i can buy it now for £29K (plus 3k to get out of contract early)..so lets say i let the lease finish and i assume since im paying for their depreciation the car will prob be around 26-27K by the end of it. Now that would be the most ive...

    So yesterday some *** abruptly braked ahead of me but i was on the ball and broke in time, the van behind me didnt and went into the back of me :/ So the damage seems to be cosmetic, like a 50p size dent and 2 screw top impressions from the reg plate, not even the bumper has deformed. Part of...

    After some prompting by our esteemed colleague Jassy, i did some research and the A3 line is due a refresh in 2019, now my lease is up in 2018. So here is my dilemma Assuming you are on PCH and have to give back your s3 1 whole year before the next refresh (eg Oct 2018) Would you: 1. Get...

Im hoping that S3s...
