Quite a few people on over 200k on here.
I brought my s3 8l from dubbers . Pete is a nice bloke to deal with . Had a few problems with mine when I first got it off them . But hat's off to them they picked it up and fixed it .
They do tend to have a quick turn around on S3's. Once I sell my A3 8P in the next couple of months, I'm going to be buying an S3 so have been browsing PistonHeads, Autotrader, eBay etc and Dubbers always seem to have at least a couple of S3's.
As said, there does seem to be some copy and pasting within the descriptions but they all seem to have FSH and come with warranty and HPI check. Only real way to see what they're like with the miles is to go and test drive them.
you drive in reverse...?.I bought mine Sept 2009 with 162,000 miles and now 155,000 miles
not wanting to hijack, but if you're gonna be looking in a few months for a s3. drop me a message as i might be selling mine then
find one owned by a knob and you'll pour money at it for the first year or two and resent it.
VCDS is your friend when looking at buying VAG. Flag up those possible big faults that you can't actually see :icon_thumright:
TBH I wouldn't put it past a lot of people that do that but a short drive and rescan should bring any deleted persistant codes back.this is true but they will have vagcom and could delete said codes etc. not saying they are/would.but as i stated before ive never dealt with them. so dont wanna tarnish there reputation.also them 2 imola s3's have different mileages ie the earlier forsale add. had higher miles then the other 1 be it there is less then 1k in it tho
