Considering a S3 - be cautious of this one
« on: September 14, 2014, 01:11:06 pm »
Folks - maybe a dodgy listing this for anyone considering an S3. For the price, personally, I wouldn't pay the amount.

"i do not no why this car what cat c as was very lite damage." It is a Cat C for a reason and also seems to have some issues re tax and VIC. It may be excellently repaired, but i'd be cautious, the crash was fairly severe. No photos of the original damage on the ad, but I have some should peoples want to see them! My main issue was chasis damage.

My god, the advert itself is enough to put me off!

How can they expect you to spend a considerable sum of money if they can't be bothered to spell check their advert or stick a capital letter in once in a while. Even if your spelling is bad, it's no excuse for that mess when a computer can correct it for you!!!

It's a Audi.

It's in white.

It's had a crash.

Who can find a reason you SHOULD buy it? Go on... Try and find one... I can't.

It was previously wrapped as said with quite a few mods, looked nice.

He took it in to Audi for something, they took it on a test drive and wrote it off!






Think they ended up setting it with him and then someone has since repaired the car.

How did they manage to write it off!?
I'd absolutely flip if that happened to my car when it goes in on Wednesday.

I wouldn't buy it but that damage doesnt look that major tbh. Cant see how the damage would effect the chasis from that...
