[Audi A3/S3] Buying a late model or new S3 now??

Is this a good idea? Will the cars hold their value well bearing in mind the new car comes soon, although not an S3?

Would an R32 Golf be a better bet? Bear in mind that that will be out of date too soon.

Problem is a chipped S3 has a real character and I'm not sure the new car will have that.

Am I better to wait and see what the A3 3.2 Quattro Sport is like?

Help please confused.gifgrin.gif

NickS3 , this is a tough one.

I personally think that the S3 will hold it's value well,

until the new S3 comes out and if there is not a new S3

then the S3 might just become a classic grin.gif

Of course the S3 prices could go to sh%t as soon as the new A3 is released ROLLEY~14.GIF I don't really think anybody will be able to predict this one so if you are looking for another S3 u gonna have to think long and hard about it.

Good luck beerchug.gif

A good idea might be to research how well the old shape S4(265bhp) held its value when the current A4 shape came out. Check what an S4 is worth now and so on.

By the way, saw a new shape S4 today and was completely under-whelmed, it looked much too subtle and unfinished.

I think for sportiest drive and for bombing about the R32 is the way to go, if you order one now it will probably be the same wait as it would be for the 3.2 though... they are impossible to get hold of, production problem after production problem..

I recon the bosses have fell for hands and hands for feet, but then again they did weel with the car though... smashfreakB.gif

What the heck, I'm going for a nearly new S3. Early new model A3's are going to be just too dull and I'll be just about ready for the upgrade should a new S3 (or sportier 3.2 V6) appear in a couple of years.

I reckon the new model will sell like hot cakes and it won't be long before the roads are full of the critters. I'll let those drivers battle with the teething problems and recalls associated with bleeding edge.

That is, until I change my mind again... frown.gif
