    R8 purchase: clutch wear ?

    RSQ3 Thinking of buying an RSQ3

    Thank you so much for the detailed reply, much appreciated and will look into all those items. It does have pan roof and bose, will check the HDD nav. The example I’m looking at has done 20.3k miles, so not huge but not low. Glad you think red is a decent colour. I like it but was...

    Another S3 Alloys thread!

    Yup, I looked into this a lot before buying and you need a 5x100 stud configuration and offset around 32-36 as mentioned above. Apparently not too many choices in terms of genuine (non-replica wheels) but the 18" alloys from a tt quattro sport (240hp) may also fit ?

    Opinions Sought S3 price

    Agree. I had to pay more but that was for a 2003 with around 31k mls, cambelt done, body immaculate except a couple of scratches, etc. Agree with the comment above that 6.5 seems about right, definitely no more than 7.
