Hi Guys,
I am planning on picking up my new car tomorrow which I am purchasing off a friend
It's a 2001 (Y) S3 225 in Absolute Red, Full electric recaro leather, Bose, Chrome mirrors, Traction control, climate control etc etc...
I think I bought it for really cheap as it had no MOT (passed yesterday, first time), and no TAX. It has got 90k miles on the shell with history, but unfortunately the timing belt snapped back last year so it now has a brand new engine and ancillaries, I have receipts of £2500 for this but it doesn't verify the mileage which may occur to be a ****** if I ever come to sell (which I will as I am planning on moving to Australia early next year). Do you think a new engine will be advantageous? I do. The engine is in absolutely pristine condition, you could actually eat your lunch off it - if someone ever fancied doing that!!?
The car drives like new, it is very responsive yet very comfy and smooth - probably one of the nicest cars I have ever driven. I was delighted with it when I drove it.
It also has Porsche alloys fitted by my friend which are in very good condition and apparently cost a lot of money. Not sure if they are my cup of tea quite yet, they do look verrrry nice and I think work well with the S3's design, not sure if I would want to put the originals back on yet...!? In with the price I recieved the original alloys which are in good condition (apart from one which would benefit from a refurb!), also had the original 225 engine (broken) and a few other bits and bobs...
It does have a slight ding in the bootlid which isnt much so I will price this up with Audi hopefully in the week as I want it looking in showroom condition.
Well anyways, I think this is enough rammbling on for now...
Regards,
Matt
