ahaydock Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 A colleague of mine has seen a ’98 Audi A3 1.6 Sport for sale: 3 Doors, Manual, Hatchback, Petrol, 55k, Alloy wheels, ABS, Electric windows & Mirrors, Rear headrests, Sports Seats, Metallic SILVER, FASH £3000 ono The seller has also offered to tax it for 6 months at that price, but it is due an MOT shortly. I think if it can get MOT’d than c£3K is a good price – what do you guys think? TIA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahaydock Posted January 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Had a look at lunch and it is mint condition, although noticed this - any ideas what it is and why it isn't plugged in: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahaydock Posted January 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 No-one? Not even what the plug that is hanging out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maersk Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Nothing, looks like a blanking plug on top of the gearbox to me. It also looks to have been like that for a long time..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A3Floyd Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 3k seems about right for a 1.6 a3. You rarely see them going for much more than that these days plus the 1.6 was never the 'one to have'. Thats not so say that its not a good car, but these things count if you want to sell it on. I had on old shape A3 and then the S3 and the only problems i found was the anti-roll bar bushes wear and are a bugger to replace - though not sure if the 1.6 would have the ARB??? The ABS can sometimes play up - the warning light comes on once you go above 15mph. In most cases its just the sensors getting full of crud and a good clean fixes the prob but worth checking cos the pump is costly! To be honest, most of the A3/S3 probs will not apply to the 1.6 so you should be fine. Sounds like a nice car - and Silver looks great on that model. I've seen 1.6's with the 17 inch rs/tt alloys on and they look fantastic. Chuck some facelift rear lights on it and imo you'll have a lovely looking motor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
