Selling my beloved A3........

[markyp2002]

Well it comes the time in everyones life, when they say goodbye..... to their beloved..... car!

Im selling my A3, currently have it on PistonHeads, Auto Trader and Ebay.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2001-AUDI-A3-...39:1|66:2|65:12|240:1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

Im hoping it will go pretty sharpish as i have a Golf GTI im after! Im only selling it as ive just moved house, and have more important things to sort out and the car is costing me a small fortune in insurance (the 150bhp golf gti is £600 a year less on insurance!!!!)

Still got my TT however, as the missus uses that and its a good weekend car.

I am willing to px with cash my way, for a black/dark blue Golf GTI preferable 3 door.

Let me know.

Mark

nice car m8. shame i bought mine or id be interested in that. saying that, mines done 84k now. good luck tho ;-)

jesus man, how much do you pay on insurange?

I was 21 at my last renweal (now 22) and only paid £700 on by 230bhp ko3S 1.8T.

for there to be that much difference, you must be getting raped!

Personally, I think it's a bad choice. Having spent time in both cars, I think the A3 is the better of the two!

 

[markyp2002]

Im 23 nearly 24, but i have 0 no claims due to having a lot of troubles in previous jobs and never holding a car down long enough to accumulate NCB

Hence the reason my insurance is so high, although on the TT it is in fact cheaper (god knows how). Plus 4wd, 270ish bhp and some serious pulling power compared to a 150bhp A3, theres no thought in the matter for me; although dont get me wrong, the A3 is a fantastic car!

Only 5 hours left on the auction, those of you who may be interested, get your bids in

Ebay number: 220296360860

Jesus christ, someone is about to get a bargain!

What were you hoping for mate?

 

[markyp2002]

Well it wont be selling if it looks like its going to go for less than £3000, ill keep onto it!

 

[Prawn]

how can you do that?

If you've got no reserve price I didn't think you were allowed to end the auction within the last 12 hours providing bids had been placed?

Best of luck to you mate! I know how hard it is selling cars at the moment, I've been trying to sell my m3 for weeks!

My dad tried sellling his S3 on pistonheads and autotrader for months and had no interest, finally gave in and put it on ebay, went even before the auction ended !
