Hey fella's,
Quick question, this might have been covered before but I couldn't find any info on it so someone on here might be able to clarify something for me.
In the next few weeks/months I will be looking to purchase a face-lifted S3 8P moving up from my 2.0T Quattro A4. With me living in the Republic of Ireland it can be difficult to get a clean one over here so I will more than likely be crossing the pond or heading up to Northern Ireland to get one. Our **** government have introduced a secondary VRT tax that we must pay upon importing a car from outside of the republic, the tax band on a post 08 car is now based off emissions so an 08 S3 will be €1200 to tax for a year.
My question to you guys is what month of 2008 was the face-lifted model introduced? I will be looking to get one registered before the 1st of July 2008 to avail of the cheaper tax rates (€710).
Any help would be much appreciated and of course if anyone has one coming up for sale soon, please let me know. Budget is about £8.5-9k max, also preferably stage 2+ modded already.
Thanks.
