I didnt realise A3s were that cheap or I'd have looked at them myself. I guess that's why VWs are so expensive, everyone automatically thinks of the and thinks Audi will be out of their range.

Mate just bought an A3 1.8T with FSH for 1600 :)

The A3's don't hold there money like the Golfs do though.... Stupid really as they are the same cars, but just don't have the cult following to keep the values up! Sounds like he got a steal!

Not sure on that point, have seen a w reg mint one for £2750 a few days ago which when you think about it is a lot of a money for a mk3 Golf with a posher badge.

Even early ones are still fetching £1500 or more, your mate got a bargain.

If i get one in Feb ill be looking at £4k. Will be the best price for resale value (lower mileage) and will be a later model.

Wouldnt be comfortable driving around in a £2k MK4 1.8T, would be waiting for things to go wrong!
