Hi guys, I've thinking about getting a well looked after, non modified, low milage S3. Recenlty I found a 2019 model S3 with very low milage (just over 10K) for sale with a main dealer (not Audi dealer). Having never owned an S3 or a fast car before (I currently have an A3 S line 2018 1.5 TFSI) wondering what I need to look out for.
The dealer said it's had 2 owners before and was registered to a busioness first (so probably a demo car). He said the car has full service history and showed me a copy. I noticed that only 2 oil changes had been carried out. I thought only change every year was the safest? What do you think of the following service history?
-Date of delivery: Feb 2019
-Inspect with oil change: Dec 2020, 4700 miles
-Oil change service; Nov 2022, 9100 miles
-Inspect with oil change: Mar 2022, 7400 miles
Dust and pollen filter
-Additional work : Mar 2022, 7400 miles
Brake fluid service, oil for all wheel drive coupling
Also I noticed that the car has Hankook tyres. I'm pretty sure the car didn't come with these tyres originally. But why did they need to change tyres it it's only done 10K. Could this mean this has been thrashed previously?
They are offering 3 months warranty. I would have preferred Audi 1 year warranty.
Any advice for me? Would you be happy to buy an ex demo model and a car with the above service history? Cheers.
