Ok, i bought this car 18 months ago as a cat d, suffering light front end damage. All components purchased for the repair were genuine Audi parts from my local Audi main dealer, i have all the reciepts to prove this. I want to be as honest with this description as i possibly can as i dont want to waste your time or my own, i have photos of all deficiencies to help you see for yourself. The car drives great, perfect steering, perfect engine with superb boost. I think it has been re-mapped by a previous owner as it is so much quicker off the mark than a mates of the same year. The gearbox is tight and direct as you would expect from a car with only 52k on the clock. The interior is perfect apart from a couple of minor places. These are a cigarette lighter mark on the dash, i think where this vehicle was a stolen/recovered, the thieves must have heated the car lighter up and pressed it onto the dash. It could probably be sanded and filled by someone that knows what there doing. The only other defect in the interior is the headlight control unit, its scratched around the switch and i think the actual unit is for an a3 not s3. On ebay these can be bought for £30. I have shown both of these defects in the pictures. The exterior is in good condition with only a few stone chips on the rear bumper. The wheels could do with a good clean up, one or two could possibly do with a refurb. The n/s/f fog light lens is smashed, also in the pictures. The car if it wasnt a cat d would go for around £6500 - £7000 maybe even more with this mileage. There is no service history as the insurance companies take all documents when claims are made as you will know if you have had dealings with salvage cars. You can get printouts from the Audi dealers of any service history it has had at main dealers. I have the Audi S3 pack though which contains manuals and information booklets. The only other thing i can think of to mention is the car could do with a 4 wheel alignment ive been told, as when you drive at 60mph or more there is a noise from the rear that sounds like the tyre is rubbing, it is not rubbing on anythig though just the wheels need straightening up a touch. All of these minor defects have never bothered me enough to have them sorted in the time that ive owned it. Ill be sad to see the back of it as its got some real power behind it but i have 2 kids now so ive purchased a bigger car. Please dont bid unless your good for it, winning bidders that mess about will be reported. Im not desperate for the money so i wont accept stupid offers. Any viewing is welcome, please email me for a time to suit us both, but any test drive will be done by me unless a valid insurance cert is provided. A fully comp insurance cert wont do as i have trade insurance and the car is insured under that, you cannot bounce normal certs off trade insurance. Cash on collection please. Any question feel free to ask and i will do my best to answer. I have a full time job so sorry if you have to wait a while for the reply. You only have to look at my feedback to see im a genuine seller, so i expect the same from yourself. I am based in the Basingstoke Reading area of North Hampshire. Thanks for reading.
