zachvtr Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 hi there, i have just sold my 2006 c2 vtr and am looking at getting an a3 1.8t quattro the problem is i only want to spend £4500 maximum and i want a black 3-door 51-plate minimum with average miles how realistic is that? most of the audi's i see are over 100,000 miles, is that really a problem with audi's, like when do major faults appear ie turbo need replacing? i look forward to your comments thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1animal1 Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 my last 1.8T was still going strong at 120k... the engines are bullet proof, just need to check for the usual signs, blue smoke etc etc for £4500 you will easily find a 1.8TQ with low miles as you can now pick up a facelift sub 100k S3 for £6500!!

zachvtr Posted November 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 just spoke to a guy with an 02-reg black 3-door with leather that has 100k and he wants 5295 but wont accept less than 5k i really cant see how its worth that much,never mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1animal1 Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 some people are just dreamers, when i bought there was a guy selling a certain rare blue S3 and the guy wanted 4k over what they were fetching.... he still has the car for sale to this day, still 4k more than its worth albeit reduced as per todays massively increasing residuals. Lad on Sport net just let his S3 go for £4650 with 100k on clock...just yesterday... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
