Audi S3...

[Rhyso]

Are you allowed to talk about Audi's on here 

  shall i lock it now then 

I'll just unlock it 

Go for it, just be mindful they suffer the same problems as MK4's

window clips for a start................

If it breaks can you afford to fix it?

Not bad if sorted and not badly modded.

Nice wheels, subtle smack with the lowering stick

TBH for 3k it will be a bit of a dog or a high miles boy racer, you need to pay 5k + for a minter. and even then its hard to find one with decent miles. engine code to go for is AMK or BAM and these are only on later models

i am very fond of them

Leon Cupra or R ftw

Appreciate the comments guys. I know £3k is what they start at so it'll be all the dogs but I'm not planning on changing until beginning of 2012, so who knows what prices they'll be at then?

If I do get it I do plan on keeping it relatively unmodified. Few subtle cosmetic things and then the typical 1.8T engine stuff to get it running at a nice power  

I know tax is a tad more than what I currently pay and fuelwise it'll be around the same as what I get now maybe a tad higher. Wayne has made this difficult by mentioning the Cupra R, which I love. However for some reason I seem to love the Mk1 S3 shape, quattro appeals to me and I've always wanted an Audi, they're an air to them.

I think that's the new car thing though, first month you'll always be heavy on the right foot

a 3k S3 will be an absolute dog of a car, always had people joining audi forums with a cheap S3, then little later the problems started. Theres not much difference in bam and amk, both remap to the same. Doubt youll notice 10bhp in a 1.5 tonne car. You'd want the suspension sorted.
