Thanks everyone, I just have no idea of value and wondered if any can point me in any direction at all. Whilst mileage is low body work is not great but the back seats have never really used so in pristine condition. If I pop some photos here could anyone give me a range of values to go for? Sorry to be a pain!
It's been a while since I looked at prices, but I just checked on Autotrader for all S3's prior to 03 plate and prices seem a bit on the high side with just one mk1 with higher mileage appearing a bit on the cheap side.
But as usual, anyone can ask for anything they want - what they actually get is a different story - obviously depending on how desperate/willing to wait until they sell.
personally body condition is everything - anything else can be fixed/repaired without too much fuss. So it really depends precisly what you mean by bodywork is not so good. ?
start respraying here and there , you then have to start asking questions - why was it resprayed , colour matching, accident damage, overspray's, colour blending if full panels not painted, rust repair/repaint likely to re-appear if not done properly (and some quite quickly). Again personally i would rather buy one with front stone chips to account for the mileage.....like I did all those years ago - and they are still there! BUT , saying that someone who knows their stuff can tell a good paint job when they see one upon close inspection.
If yours is original as you say and low mileage (and no damage/serious rust) even without FSH I think someone in the know should be able to tell a good one upon inspection - so many tell tell signs for those who know what they are looking at. check what the current sample of cars are being sold and advertise it accordingly.
