sufu Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 Just looking for a bit of guidance price wise on S3's, and what to look for on them when purchasing, as i'm thinking of gettin rid of the A3 and "upgrading" I've seen this one on pistonheads, and to my eyes it seems like a good deal... my question is: is it? http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/84214.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHA Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 Hmmm 270bhp. Is that just from a chip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sufu Posted July 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 thats what i was wondering, thing he's exageratting to get a sale, shouldnt it be around 255 - 260 with just a remap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHA Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 265 was the quoted chip figure from some places. Even with an exhuast 270 might be viewed as optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sufu Posted July 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 I've emailed him asking what works been carried out, as soon as i know more i'll post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 270+ is possible, but its largely down to rolling road calculations.. take it with a pince of salt same as all RR. I have a couple of plots for my car saying 275 bhp/290ftlb done on the same RR, but different occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sufu Posted July 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 assuming it is just a remap, would you say the price is reasonable? I'm aware of the need for the cam belt change, he doesnt mention on the advert whether its done so i've asked in the email, so again, assuming thats done what do you think of the price? I know this is like asking how longs a piece of string, but the interior does appear to be unmarked, as does the exterior, so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 TBH im keeping clear of second hand prices, and enjoying the car, trying not to think of depreciation. It will be a hard and expensive time when it comes to replace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanos3 Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 Sufu, thats a shed loada car for the money, it looks mint. Don't buy it though if your after an all out drivers car, it just isn't up to it! If your after prestige, good looks, safety etc....go for it, you won't be dissapointed!

sufu Posted July 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 basicaly, what im after is: Refinement, build quality, safety, good handling, speed and (as i do around 16,000 miles a year now) comfort! I had my hand forced towards the end of last year (someone kindly wrote off my previous car), and had to buy what was available at the time (my current A3), now this has presented me with the opportunity to buy the car i was aiming for originally I'm just waiting for him to get back to me with a bit more info, and if everything seems ok i'll put a dent in my bank balance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
