Went to go view this S3 for a close friend, was advertised on autotrader ( and still is) as it had bucket seats and was below 70k miles. Thought I'd give you guys the heads up to save someone a wasted journey.

- The drivers bucket seat isn't even attached to the bolster, its ripped off and you can see the foam!
- Car is covered in swirls, not even light ones, but as though someones used a brillo pad on it
- Front air-vents don't work
- spare tyre and accessories missing
- front end damaged, grill cracked and marks on bumper
- Rear boot floor is damaged, and carpet is soiled thoroughly
- tyres not even road legal ( salesman advised he would stick £25 part-worn mixed budget tyres on each corner that needed it)
- Service history is minimal, missing important services schedule items last service done by themselves apparently


Just a real dog of a car, shame it looked good on the advert, hopefully it saves someone the hassle of viewing.

I'll bet it's been ragged too if the '1 former keeper from new' was so careless. Terrible shame. :gun2:

More than likely the reason why the pictures are so poor quality.
 
To be honest it actually looks like a total dog in the pictures as well! I certainly would not have set a foot out the front door to see that!
