Looking for S3..advice please!

Post by popsy » Sat Oct 14, 2006 11:26 pm

hi i am new to the site..have had a look through but there's so much info so i thought it may be quicker if i post here!

I am looking for an audi s3 Y/51 plate due to budget and it has to be black or blue!

The one i have seen is a y plate black, 50k full audi service history, 2 owners, has chrome mirrors,sunroof, electric leather

he wants £9500 for it..is that reasonable?

I am viewing this week is there anything in particular to look for..recalls etc sorry if this has been asked a million times!

What are the service intervals like?

Hoping to become a regular on here as i like to tune my cars too! thanks

:)

Sounds really cheap, too cheap if you know what I mean!

I'm on AVS (audi variable servicing) where the car tells you when it needs servicing. Last time I had it done, it said 18k till next service. Some people change the iridium plugs every 10k and oil and filter 5k, but thats your choice according to how you drive etc. I sit in traffic most of the time :boohoo:

At 50k, I would check the pads and discs, think cam belt etc. is 70k, not 100% sure though.
