Are they really that cheap these days!!! Man the bottoms fell out of these cars if they are!!!!
I paid £13k for a 2000 car 2 years ago, ok it was v low miles and a mint example but blimey thats gonna hurt when/if I sell.

ive had ,an s3 for the last 18 month, and over that time, ive spent over 6 thousand quid on it, with things like rear diff goin, clutch, haldex control unit, control arm, gearbox, etc, etc, and when i went buying the car i took a mechanic with me aswell, and they are things that you can`t tell are going to go wrong till they do.
