Hi all,
Hope this note finds you well.. So i wonder if you can help. Finally it is time to part with my TVR Cerbera - and i find myself looking at Audi S3's
I have a limited budget - £7k and am seeing what look (at least on paper) nice cars from 1999 - 2001 but i have a few questions...
(1) Am i kidding myself if I think i can get a decent S3 for this money
(2) Is High mileage something to be worried about? I am not going to put a massive amount of mileage on the car, i have seen cars on sale from 64,000 to 120,000 for this price range - however i want something that is a little fun, but also a bit more reliable that said TVR
(3) What are the normal gotcha's that i should look for on a S3 at the age I am looking?
(4) What sort of costs can i expect at service time?
(5) What are they like to work on yourself (I have happily done most the work on my TVR - just wondered if its the same deal with the Audi)
So thats it i guess - any comments greatfully recieved.
Many thanks,
Stuart.
