Another Newbie Looking for an S3!

[morgan306]

Hello!

I thought I would finally say hi as I have been lurking in this well informed forum for a little while now reading up on the S3.

My current car is a 1997 306 GTi6 which I have owned for 5 years now,brilliant car but I fancy something a little more modern & refined.


I have about £8000 to spend on a facelift S3,preferably black or silver.



Morgan.

Hello and Welcome to the site Morgan
For that price you can pick up a very tidy S3.

Welcome Morgan... black will look fab...as long as you like cleaning!

 

[morgan306]

Thanks for the welcomes

I know exactly what I want..Black,Chrome mirrors,arm rest,Black leather,Bose etc. All the ones that fit the bill seem to be in Scotland though!

this ticks some boxes....mirrors would have to go though

 

[morgan306]

It does,shame about the mirrors though..

Does anyone know whether front armrests are an optional extra or fitted as standard?

 

[voorhees]

optional extra...and have you driven one with it in as I reckon unless your on the motorway regular or you have an autobox they get in the way

I haven't to be honest,I wouldn't be doing that many motorway miles in it as I have a company van to use during the week. Can they be added easy enough? Seems daft me worrying about an armrest I know! Also, the Bose upgrade,is it noticably better than standard Audi fitment?

the armrest gets in the way when changing gear whenever I've driven one might be a knack to it but I haven't one in my S3 nor Bose for me only symphony 2
