    Where to sell a car? Advice please...

    HI All Has anyone got any tips for which are good avenues to pursue for selling one's motor? A couple suggested to me were autotrader.co.uk and top marques. Anyone else got any suggestions for places to advertise cars for private sale? thanks in advance.

    Well time has come to move on. And sell my baby.

    Looks like I am leaving these fair shores at the end of October. I'll need to sell my motor too sadly. Only 7 months old! So not fair... Anyone interested? I will need to hold onto it until the end of October but anyone looking to buy around now it will be a DAMN sight quicker than Audi's 4...

    WTF?!?!

    I checked out other Audi sites around the world. I was reading a review of the A3 from an newspaper website back home (Australia). The A3 2.0T Sportback starts at A$50,000. The GOlf GTI is at A$40,000. And can anyone guess what they want for a basic A3.2 V6? Anyone? $50,000 is around £21K...

    6 month old A3 2.0T Sportback Sport - price

    What sort of price do you reckon you would get if you tried to sell an A3 Sportback 2.0T quattro 6-12 months old? Or should I ask what would people pay? Roughly 10% off the best buy price?!? Or is that being generous. Talking about private sale. Car with about £2500 options on top of the basic...

    So anyone reconsidering going for a VXR now?

    I saw the VXR recently talked up in AutoCar and reminded me on Top Gear last night. It handed the Golf GTI it's *** in straight line acceleration and also was several seconds quicker around the Top Gear track. I still say the Golf is a better looking car than either the VXR or the Renault it was...

    ChipsAway - good or not?

    HI All Got a series of scrapes on my plastic bumpers - some caused by yours truly, some by a young lass who rear-ended me. Any used ChipsAway before? I saw someone reference them but no one mentioned whether they had actually used them and what they thought. I have three different scratches...

    Scrrrrrrrrrrrrrrratch - *gulp* - help please....

    It's the sound we dread hearing, made even worse when you don't hear it and the expression on someone's face tells you the story... It had to happen some time - this time it was pulling into an awkward farm driveway off a poky country back lane in Cornwall. Somewhat fortunately for me it was...

    Secrets design cues of the 1 series unveiled!!!

    OK this might just be me but this morning on the way to work I am sitting in traffic behind a small car. It's a similar colour to that dusty indigo-style colour that is quite common on the current 1-series advertisements and common on-road also. Anyway this car shared so many styling cues. Boot...

    New Tire cost - anyone had to replace yet?

    So Friday afternoon coming back from a customer meeting I notice a strange wobbling in the steering. Hmmm... not good I say. On a motorway so takes me a few miles to pull off and find somewhere to stop. Back LH tire flat. Not completely flat but bascially there. Should I try to limp to a service...

    Head Removal Keys - help!!!

    I finally took delivery of the Head Unit Removal Keys that I ordered from the web a few weeks back. One side seems to unlock OK but the other doesn't. The key just slips back out of the slot with no result. I have tried wriggling it back and forth, tilting up and down, but nothing seems to work...

    Crackling from front centre speaker on BOSE

    Hi All I have a problem which seems to be getting worse by the day. After only about 4 weeks of ownership a crackle has developed in the front centre (dashboard mount) speaker in my A3. I have the BOSE option. This seems utterly ridiculous to me - I went for the superior option after all...

    Any English road users - SE vs Sport vs S-Line

    Based on my assumption that the SE is the most forgiving suspension set up, following by Sport and then S-Line being the taughtest, has anyone got feedback on the suitability of each type for the roads of England. This is also based on the assumption that European roads (motorways mainly) tend...

    It's finally mine, all mine!!!!

    Almost 4 full months after ordering (including a couple of weeks with dicking around trying to deliver it - 250 miles on the clock once delivered!!!) my A3 2.0T Quattro Sportback has arrived. Ooooohhh, it's nice. Love the feeling of your head sinking back into the headrest as you pull through...

    Good PCP option for Audi?

    Anyone had any experience through Audi finance for their car? I was given a couple of quotes during some early visits to Audi dealers and they were laughable compared to some independent car finance companies and high street banks. I am thinking about going for a PCP deal with a car financing...

    Can I use the Denison ice Link w/Concert II?

    Just wondering if anyone can help me - I am getting an A3 and I have ordered the Concert II system with Bose Sound. This doesn't have a CD changer with it, just a regular CD player. The Denison web site says you need to integrate their product into the slot where the CD Changer goes. Has anyone...
