Hi all,
Firstly I would like to say hello. I have been watching the forum for a few weeks now gathering information for the purchase of an S3 SL very shortly. Lots of really helpful info so I thank you all in advance.
This is where I am up to: After studying known problems, buyers guide etc, I'm after a facelift S3 which is relatively unmodified. I don't mind a remap (if from reputable company that alter fuelling!) and looking for something around the 100k miles mark or below. I know these engines go on for ever if well maintained so the most important thing for me is a good service history.
Looking on autotrader, forums and ebay the facelift cars around that mileage tend to start at around £4200 ish up to well over £6.5k. My main question is whether a decent example can be bought for the £4500 mark or whether you really do get what you pay for. I'm going to be keeping the car for a while and want something as reliable as possible, and willing to pay for that if it really makes a big difference. Can you guys and gals shed some light on this for me?
Cheers,
Dan
