Hello everybody

I'm in the procces of buying a new car but i have found myself in a pickle. I can't decide between a 2001 Audi S3 and a 2006 Audi A3 2.0 TFSI Quattro, What do you guys think??

I like the fact that the S3 is a special car, but it's also and old car..

And no i cannot afford the comming S3, cars in denmark are taxede with 180% so a Audi A3 TFSI alone is 45.000£!!!

Hope you can help

Regards
Coolrgy

hells bells how much TAX :shock: and i thought the uk was bad...

go for the new car and get it chipped.. will only be about 20BHP less than a chipped the S3.

can you not get a second hand S3 from somewhere else and import it cheaper?

I expect to pay 25.000£ for a 2000 S3 imported from germany.. I'm just in doubt wether the S3 is more Sporty than the new A3??

S3 is a more sporty model than the new A3, but of course the new S3 should be here soon.

I've heard that Audi lower the price of their cars for the Danish market to try to offset the Danish 'crippling' new car tax... In fact that was a popular country to import cars from to England a while ago due to this.
