Omgh where did I say I changed exhaust?? no I didn't say I have done exhaust?? where? this so far I did: (pic below)
And I said and had many mechanic advises that it is NO POINT doing exhaust on TDi ..
The car strategy is THAT I want to buy S3 BECAUSE you cannot make great sound on TDi what you on about ''strategy'' everybody has same strategy who had tdi and had chance to hear S3 or RS3 or any better to drive it.. if your strategy is different that's fine..

''Only ppl which wear baseball caps back to front chasing each other around west yorkshire drive like that on public roads ... I really don't understand what this you want to say am in manchester please tell me .. am curious .. there is no and cheaper S3 in manchester for sale checked onlie ...
Why you ppl hate '' west yorkshire'' so much .. ? I only wan to buy car .. or is is like you want to tell me it is not good buying cars there??
Is it that you buying rather new 30k cars to pay monthly ? becuse all third party car sales men are fishy?? I wanna know more.. then
I wish I could do some race I don't have anybody who have an audi I could race .. Everybody what knows me only telling me that I am silly that I have expensive car ... really expensive?? they has no idea what is expensive then..
I just always wanted kia car ceed but one guy convicted me to get an audi in 2017 so since then I started to like audi a3 series..

My mistake, I mixed you up with another member who fitted an S3 exhaust to a TDI thinking it would make it sound better -it didn't. I guess you would be better speaking to him about the best way to make a super fast TDI sound nice. That looks quite an expensive list for little return. My opinion is you are throwing good money after bad with most of the things on your list, but it's your money.
You asked advice, people on here gave it, you reply with outraged rants implying we are idiots.
If you are happy to drive bent cars at 140mph then feel free to continue doing and spending whatever you want to "improve" them. Manchester is far enough away from me that I'm unlikely to meet you coming in the other direction.

Your time might be better spent actually going to look at some £15k S3s and see what price dealers are willing to offer for yours if you want rid. The cheapest cars can usually be found in West Yorkshire.
Good luck!

See if we can get this back on track.

OP I understand that what I’m about to say isn’t your explicit question, but I’d stay away from a Cat S S3. In fairness to the garage they do show the damage beforehand (or at least they claim), but my advice would be to save up for one that hasn’t had such troubles.

Your budget of 13k I don’t think will get you very far in the 8V market, mainly those that are similar to the one you’ve sent.

edit: Just seen your budget is 15k, I think it’s possible but they may be 2013-14 which somewhat limits your question

Yes I think I will go for 2014 -2016 ones.. I need to save money .. even 15k is crazy lot of money.. I don't think I will be able to sell car quickly for 10k.
Nowadays, there are so so many ppl selling cars and options and so many offers so ppl rather do part ex so will sell car for less and then budget increases.. But not many S3 cars up to 15k are for sale and with offer part ex.. think it gonna be difficult for me ..

Yeah I have spent like £1500 -£1800 max on this car and I am DONE with it !
ON the list what is ''not done'' is scrapped ! not doing it FINISHED spending money into this car.
But I did pretty much basic things which buyer wants I presume..
No no, I totally don't think idiots or something misunderstanding always happens..
No I only tested once or twice top speed of this car if audi says true what they claims in book .. And only on highway away from cities where are no lights only fields at night when literally no cars on the road..
Yeah I went from manchester to cardif to buy this car

And I drove once to bournemouth with mate he bought car there ...4 hours dive

That's bull **** just because it is cheap doesn’t mean is bad I bought current cheaply I part ex with my a3 2011 tdi and car runs perfectly.. Nearly like S3
I can't do it yet as I need to sell mine first and then deal with another

With 13k go for a clean 8p model as you will struggle to get a clean example 8v with your budget

No I don't like old cars .. I had 8p and I don't want it again only 8V... I will be buying S3 8V only maybe in summer once I will save enough money..
maybe then 2016 will be cheaper
