S3, but my recent selling experience has been as follows:

Chasing a new RS3 with decent discount, offered £27.5k in PX for my May 2023 S3 with about £3k options. Thought it was worth £31-32k through Carwow or Motorway - I have used Motorway twice before with success. This time around, advised reserve price was £29k on motorway and £30.4k with Carwow. Set both up and waited for the bids. Motorway best bid was £30880, Carwow was £31050. Went with Carwow - the buyer was a local prestige used car company. Turned up, he had a very quick look around and settled up. My car was pristine apart from a single stone chip on the leading edge of the bumper that was disclosed prior to the auction, and I had the 5 year factory warranty, which was apparently a deciding factor. It's up for sale for 10% more than they paid - not a greedy markup.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

Before and after shot of paddle replacement.

Before. Paddles? What paddles?



After. How it should be from factory.

It beggars belief that the ED50 doesn’t come with those paddles.
