    Cheerio......for now

    It is quite some place to be...… 8(!) different massage programmes, and the seat heating is sooo much better than any previous car; seems to generate almost all over warmth, rather than heat in specific areas, if that makes sense. I never figured a HUD would be an option I would tick, but am...

    Cheerio......for now

    Actually, it is 2016 740Ld Xdrive…..couldn't justify a new one's cost! Before the S3 I had a factory order Mercedes CLS, and before that a Jaguar XF.....always liked the big executive barge, but fancied a change/hot hatch itch with the Audi :)

    Cheerio......for now

    So, my S3 was bought and collected today - recommended the forums to the new owner, naturally - and so I am no longer an Audi owner. Went for a very different car, much more like my previous cars having scratched my hot hatch itch..... a BMW 740Ld Xdrive! Thanks to all, best wishes and may...

    Anyone sold their S3 recently? Looking at market prices.....

    Good conversation, not able to offer me quite enough but will keep dialogue open. There is geography, also, as I am in Dorset, makes it harder....Matthew very pleasant chap, would be nice to do a deal! Offers possibly getting better, just a little short of what I need for settlement, but I have...

    Prospective S3 owner from 320d a BMW 320d

    What age are you looking for? Only ask as I know of a nice 67 reg..... https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/anyone-sold-their-s3-recently-looking-at-market-prices.411479/ (am I allowed to say that in here?)

    Anyone sold their S3 recently? Looking at market prices.....

    Thanks, all. Appreciate the miles are higher than some, but still reasonable.... Certainly Autotrader seems to suggest my price ambition is not too far off, and I do feel the spec is top drawer too (just missing roof, perhaps). I got a settlement figure, so no what I need to get, now to find...

    Anyone sold their S3 recently? Looking at market prices.....

    I have really enjoyed my 2 and a bit years with my S3, but the time has come to start looking at selling on - probably going to go back to a trusty exec barge such as 7 series, S class or Jag XJ, but nearly new rather than the PCP thing, given the state of play. So, before I start in earnest...

    Facelift S3 - Mileage Concern

    Wouldn't worry too much.....not convinced mileage has that much of an impact vs a really tidy/good spec car - obviously, within reasons, like not moon miles..... My 67-reg has 28k now, and is essentially on 10k pa PCP...… only 2k in the next 13 months is unlikely. However, come sale time, I am...

    Facelift I had an itch I had to scratch....

    Um, think I fall in to the 'never launched' category too...… keep saying to myself that I need to give it a go, but never actually go find a spot to do it #fail For the record, '67 plate, just sneaked past 25k miles today.... ...… I'll get my coat :whistle2: Oh, and nice car OP :)

    Opinions on Sportback in Ara Blue (chrome)?

    Ara blue is ace.....wasn't really thinking about it when I bought my S3, but the salesman turned out to be right......and, much as I kinda begrudged the +£00~ for the red calipers, it does round off the look.

    Inspection service??

    Even Audi can fail to update the digital service record, it seems. My 67-plate is bugging me for an Oil and Inspection Service, having been bought in Sep-17 (brand new) and done approx. 18k miles........Getting quoted more-or-less £400 by various Audi dealers, close to home or...

    Audi Connect Data SIM

    My car has the Tech Pack, which included 3yr Audi Connect.....but I run my own SIM in their so that the kids can use Wifi hotspot for the nonsense they constantly stream on Netflix/Amazon/YouTube and so on. We have BT SIMs as part of a Family Pack, each with 12GB data/month, and so just added...

    Fifth Gear - Hot Hatch Shootout - inc Audi S3

    For me, the S3 handles 'more than well enough' - to define that, however, is a little tricky (and very subjective) but then I kinda need my S3 to be more than just a go-kart. Admittedly, I generally don't hoon around that often, being closer to 50 than 40 and frequently with my wife & children...

    Facelift Post Pics Of Your Facelift A3/S3 8V In Here

    Nice ^^ Reminds me of my sister-in-law's place (near Vaasa) - the roads are either dusty and gravelly or covered in 10cm of snow!

    Facelift Audi A3 with technology pack inc Virtual Cockpit

    Options are so often bespoke, very few significantly affect a used vehicles price per se, but do impact the desirability to prospective buyers. Many salesmen I have spoken with over the years suggest using a third as a guide, but - personally - my criteria has always been 1) Do I really want to...

    Spotters Thread For 8V Chassis

    Came back to my car, Sportback on the right, to find a 3dr keeping it company - Poole Sainsburys, a week or so ago (takes me time to do things!)
