my local Audi dealership has a KILLER deal on a 2011/60 S3 with no miles on it... but i'm planning on going back to uni next year and it'll be a total waste for the sake of 10 months motoring
it's the perfect spec, exactly what i'd pick if it were a factory order. wtf do i do :(
-
If you can afford it do it, you may be dead in 10 months! :laugh:

Live your life and live in clover cos once your dead you're dead all over....
We're here for a good time not a long time....
People will be along shortly with more no doubt
-
Totally agree, live life to the full!
Don't miss out on great opportunities as you'll just kick yourself later in life or even worse, could be dead :signLOL:

The spec you'd choose, great price, if you like it, can afford it - there's only one way forward.
S3 ownership for you..it'd be rude not to.
-
Do it lad, go large or go home :P
-
blah blah bah buy it blah blah blah buy it some more, you wouldn't be asking us if you hadn't already made your mind up :happy2:
Plus you'll get the money back on an S3 once you come to sell it bonus :happy2:

Buy a banger...Money you save,piss it up the wall at Uni.... :happy2:
-
Your coming on here and asking on whether to spend money??!!!
What a stupid question :signLOL:
-
Tell me where it is and how much, i may well take the decision out of your hands :laugh:
-
I wouldnt bother personally, unless it was something really exotic and silly for 10 months
-
Stage 2+, THS intercooler etc etc etc :signLOL:
Buy it, buy it, buy it! :grin:
-
this really is a tough decision. atm i'm trying to be sensible.
-
How long before there's a post saying a deposit has been put down :signLOL: I'm going to say it'll be by tomorrow!
-
the thing is i could remap my 2.0T and it'd be as fast as an S3 for the fraction of the money, and if i got an S3 i wouldn't map it or anything. i've got a few parts waiting to go on it too. like i said, for the sake of 10 months i really don't think it's worth it.
BUT that hasn't stopped me calling the dealership and asking about the finance for it :scared:
-
You really do not want anything to flash to take to uni as it will get trashed. I had a mint 1.9 205 Gti, I did go to uni a long time ago, you should have seen the state of it after 3 years.
-
welllll i had my A3 1.6 at uni the first time around. it survived - just.
this time, if all goes to plan, i'll be going to uni in London so i don't need the car and i'll sell it. this is is the main reason it's a silly idea.

OK then LOL, how much are they asking for it ?

-
Buy the s3 - Dont go to Uni - Keep the car :happy2:
-
lol i need the other degree if i want to advance in the field i want to advance in
also it's either S3 now or R8 later... (the field i want to go into is very well paid)
-
Maybe worth the wait then :happy2:

thaaaaats the one. although their finance deal isn't as good as a BRAND NEW Ibis White BE that another dealer in the same group has :confused:. just a shame that i CAN'T STAND white cars (no offence to white car owners reading this)
tbh i'm dissuaded now. i think a remap and Dave's NQS that i've been meaning to fit for a month will see me good for the next 10 months.
thanks for the soundboard guys!

Thought it was, whats was the deal on the white one ?, i guess the new A3 is out soon so there trying to push the older models

PCP £450 a month with a £3k deposit. i thought that was very reasonable.
it's just a shame that Misano red is an exclusive colour on the S3 (despite being an optional colour on the S-line and RS3 :confused:) cos then that would be my colour of choice. thing is, my 2005/54 A3 1.6 was Ebony Black Metallic, my 2006/55 A3 2.0T is Phantom Black Pearl do i really want another black car?
i saw a gorgeous 3.2 quattro last month 2007, 40k miles on the clock, Misano red and Open Sky pan roof (so black roof and spoiler). annoyingly it was advertised for marginally less than my 2.0T was when i got it last year.
i would have facelifted it and stuck a turbo on it :driver:

is that a 7 or 8 year course? I would get the s3 mate as by the time you graduate we will have probably run out of fossil fuels to feed your r8.

In that case, pass. I don't have the finesse/dexterity and I'd get bored of looking down peoples' gobs all day long.
-
oh i'm not doing it to be a dentist. if you're really intrigued PM me and i'll explain.

I'm going to take a wild stab at forensics?

I was going to say, my dentist (private practice) only has an R32. It's very nice, but it's not an R8!

he probably has a £2m house that you can't see, or has better things (in his opinion) to spend his money on than cars.
my dad bought my mum a Merc for their 25th wedding anniversary. i was tasked with the job of actually going to the dealership as i'm the family "car guy" and there was a chap in there the same time as me who owned a single dental practice and had:
C63 AMG
CLK63 AMG
CLS63 AMG
CL63 AMG
the SL63 AMG had just been released and you'd never guess what he was in there to buy :rolleye:
and he owned ONE dental practice! trust me, dentists mint money.
BUT i have no interest in being a dentist lol.

Lol. We had a few dentists on our course too.
You will be proper minted. About as much as the orthopods. At one of the hospitals, they had a "Maserati Club" where they all had Maseratis!

one of my spinal consultants has an M6. other than that there's not much going on at my hospital car-wise :confused:

yeah but to do that i'd have to be an anaesthetist. to be fair that's my back up career but i am NOT looking forward to the exams!
