Hi Folks, the search for an S3 continues, currently considering a very low mileage one owner car, Its got 16,000 miles, all the toys and has been serviced by Audi main dealers every 12 months religiously and had the Haldex and S-tronic oil changes done along with the Cambelt and water-pump . MOT history backs up the mileage
On the face of it, it looks and sounds a good car, price however is £16,990 which is on the high side for a 2009 S3, but I accept the very low mileage and great history are worth paying a premium for. I'll probably be doing circa 20,000 per year myself if I buy it and keep the car 3-5 years. They've offered £6,000 part-exchange on my 2005 S4 with 114,000 miles and FSH which I think is a fair part ex figure.
I would welcome forum member opinions of the merits of buying a very low mileage car, that by definition will have had short journeys predominantly, which is not great, but does the low miles and history outweigh this. All views opinions and suggestions would be very well received
Many thanks in advance to all responders
