Been offered a Audi A3 1.8T....Talk to me

[daz_rt_04]

what do you guys make of them?

been offered one for my vts...

I gather the fun factor wont be there compared to the vts, but to me its more grown up etc etc which is the route i may be looking at taking.

Basically the one i've been offered has done 108k...i hate high mileage cars usually, but were talking Audi, not Citroen...lol

Its pretty standard bar S3 wheels, full leather interior, although a rip in the driver's seat. Also has a dump valve.

Cambelt is about to be done.

Unsure if the chap said FSH or not...

Nice car but is it a straight swap. I'd value that at around £2800ish. Depends on service history.

[Jamie]

Id only do it if its worth more then the S then sell it the fuck away lol hate them with a passion tbh

[DaxVTR]

i'd probly keep the saxo, unless its worth alot more then sell the A3 1.8(t) and get the A3 TDI lol

[djrem]

Read into "straight swap" as "fuck i need to get rid..."

[Mr_X]

if they are in the same nick you would be silly not to, the 1.8t is a great car.

[TU-Tuning]

I drove one for a night whilst someone borrowed my car. Same spec as that one except it had those big flat faced alloys on it.

Handling was fucking terrible, bodyroll central. It was quite fast but it didnt feel it, its very smooth which takes the fun out of it imo.

On the plus side they look lush, feel well built and you get a lot of looks. But I couldnt own one as its like driving a tug boat

[Sammy-Boy]

VTS would be more fun to drive. Personally I would keep that with the Audi having 108k

[steviet]

good solid cars imo. but i think people tend to over value them aswell. so do a bit of research on the prices on them. plus the ive heard the parts can be stinkin dear

[Mr_X]

is it the quattro?

[Mikey]

is it the quattro?

no its not 4x4.

ive heard the 1.8t engines are a bit dicky. keep the vts.

[samco77on]

keep the vts, too much weight in VAGS

[Matty-VTR]

I was looking at that one it said he wants to part ex with a saxo vts..

VTS would be quicker but vts is a bag of shit compared to an A3 and the likes, go for it mate. Im getting rid of mine for something like that soon

[jdizzy]

keep the vts

[djrem]

Wrong shape A3.
Going to be worth nothing once the 2nd hand market on the current shape picks up.

Lol looks?

Jesus that looks like a pile o shite to me,

The sort of car id avoid parking next to in a car park:zainy: in any of my cars including my old Vtr. Just so plain and shit.

Nah tbh suppose it could be ok its just the chavs around here love them so many its like some sort of cult all black, tints bass that makes your heart fall out your sleve sort of shit..

[djrem]

That shape Audio A3 reminds me of "unsuccessful estate agent"...

[Jazz]

Decent motors with plenty of potential. Just that some old high-miles examples are dogs, so I'd get it thoroughly checked out first.

Jamie- sounds like some anti-A3 vengeance there :P

[Pat_Vts]

one lad round ere got one of dem

slammed massive intercooler on front anthratice rims and tints all round looks pretty kwl

wouldnt have one of them tho

You would avoid parking next to a car in a car park because it looks shit? What a fucking idiot...:homme:

n00b.

If it looks like a shitter i wont park next to it especially not now try paint matching a orange car. People in this area in particular will bump there cars on others because 'thats what bump strips are for' over here,.

Tbh i go as far away from cars as possible.

My old sax/206 suffered an onslaught of people clacking there shitters on it.

i park next to shit cars just to do "Richard Hammond" style car door opening into them.

Irish numberplates on a shogan mean you never get left a note.
You like dags?

[Matty-VTR]

Hardly looks 'shit' though does it...

[Dasher_VTR]

i hate them too, they look shit so dull and boring.

[kcsaxo]

keep the S, the straight swap deal sounds too good and with the rip in the seat youre already looking at a few hundred to repair it, also with a dump valve its likely your mate loves to hit the gas pedal to hear that tamborine go off in the high street so i wouldnt expect it to be well maintained.
