Facelift Been, gone, back again.

[Jcbmally]

Well I've finally bit the bullet and I am moving on from the A4 B9.
I have had 2 x B9's and they have been great cars, but I wanted something a bit more fun so I am returning to an A3, but in S3 Sportback form.

Been a lot of back and forth with the dealer and we finally agreed on a deal that was acceptable. Picking it up Wednesday 16th May and will post some pics accordingly.

Spec/Colour ? Only a couple of days away

I was offered this car a week or two ago but have played hard ball for a better discount (shout out to @jassyo06). Bit of a weird option list I know but it was under budget.
MY18 -White S3, S/S seats, privacy, red callipers, folding mirrors, parking plus, high beam assist, split-folding rear seat bench and rear side airbags. Full tank of fuel, £45 cleaning kit from the display box and 2 x free services. So happy enough.

My last car, S5, was Ibis. I liked it and it cleaned up well too, although winter didn't make it look good but what colour does in our climate.

Today's the day!

Cheers Buddy, HHA was free !, there is always room for few more specs but I'm happy with what I have got. Everybody goes on about "step up in quality" for the A4 B9 but I don't see it, in fact wife prefers the interior on the S3.
I'll get it run in over the next few weeks (touring Cairngorms etc next week) but pleased I FINNALY made the jump.

It is a nice place just windy!

We have been to Lanzarote twice this year so far, will be in Tenerife in a month with my parents... regular visitors to the canaries haha! Haven’t ventured outside of Spain for years.

Hotel looks great in Turkey, they always do.. location that puts us off with the world as it is.

Anyway, back to the OP’s thread... car looks awesome, love a white 8V
