I've been looking for a S3 for a while now but i'm being really picky with what i want.
I want a post 2001 225 Bhp version unmodified. I've found a 2003 53 plate Blue (lighter colour not the ming blue) on ebay for £8500.
I love it only thing is its done 88,000miles. Am i going to have to pay for clutches/gearboxes etc in the near future as its done loads of miles?
Also its got the 17inch Avus wheels. I want to upgrade to the 18 Inch RSTT wheels when i find a good second hand set - will this pump up the ride height on standard suspension? Plus 53 plates are very rare, when did the 8L S3 go out of production anyone?
I want to stop being picky and just buy the thing so i can enjoy it, but spending this much money want to make sure i get the right one.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers
