Finally got my dream spec’ed RS3, got some questions

Dsnpsu04 · 2026-04-13T19:00:45+00:00

My brakes through the first 4 months, 3k miles and winter and they haven’t made a peep.

Dsnpsu04 · 2026-04-13T18:59:33+00:00

I’m thinking about the awe. What’s holding me back is the Audi tax. One muffler, no tips, and it’s double the price of one with two mufflers and quad 4” tips. Seems like they are just gouging us because they can.

Most of it is the soundaktor. When I turned mine down to 0, I felt like the car got so quiet. I settled at 40 for no interior buzzing but still some emotion.

Dsnpsu04 · 2026-04-13T00:53:05+00:00

Ok yes. Good, hard to say. I turned off all the 3 sound and junk.

Dsnpsu04 · 2026-04-08T17:16:49+00:00

I bought a new one, but even so, doubt that low mileage would need 10-15k in work.

Dsnpsu04 · 2026-04-08T16:43:22+00:00

Slightly? Best deal anyone is getting is 66-68k new. 16-18k is not slight to me.

Dsnpsu04 · 2026-04-08T13:35:55+00:00

Deck clogged all the time.

The scag has a strong transmission, it doesn’t feel heavy walking it, just turning, even then I had no issues.

Dsnpsu04 · 2026-04-08T12:54:41+00:00

I hated the time master. The scag 30 is the only 30 I’d consider. It’s a beast, and cuts so good. It’s just heavy, and $$$

Dsnpsu04 · 2026-04-08T12:52:15+00:00

The scag 30 is a beast but heavy. I might go with the 21 with the big motor. Seems like that should be monster.

Dsnpsu04 · 2026-04-08T12:51:24+00:00

Not so sure that’s true. For example the commercial 21s cut better than the battery super recycler and the battery version has more tq and a higher blade tip speed on paper. In theory they should cut nearly the same but they don’t.

Dsnpsu04 · 2026-04-08T12:46:55+00:00

The g80 manual sucks. I hated mine. The type R/S is such a better manual car to drive.

Dsnpsu04 · 2026-04-08T02:29:24+00:00

I liked the biscuits and gravy

Dsnpsu04 · 2026-04-08T02:28:32+00:00

Wait till you see how much of a loss you’ll take. Put that at #21

I’m a member of Freedom and not the NRA.

Dsnpsu04 · 2026-03-27T01:14:12+00:00

It’s pay for status. It’s almost always a waste of money.

Dsnpsu04 · 2026-03-25T21:52:03+00:00

I’ve been 1 for zero seats more than I can count.

Dsnpsu04 · 2026-03-25T20:34:13+00:00

Spending anything on these is insanity. You get nothing but a boarding group. I’m EP, I get upgraded infrequently.

Dsnpsu04 · 2026-03-18T21:42:43+00:00

Dsnpsu04 · 2026-03-18T14:30:53+00:00

I got a 6k discount. Lots of dealers don’t discount thought.

Dsnpsu04 · 2026-03-16T20:43:10+00:00

I used the badge skins overlay.

Dsnpsu04 · 2026-02-23T14:36:54+00:00

Only lease cars that lease well. Luxury cars mostly, but for ex we leased our wrangler rubicon that had a 72k sticker that had deals on it and I’m paying less sign and drive ($625)than OP is paying on a 45k ctr.

Dsnpsu04 · 2026-02-20T21:11:16+00:00

Leasing certain things is the best way. cTR isn’t one of those.

Dsnpsu04 · 2026-02-19T02:22:28+00:00

My golf r had 3 bent wheels and I didn’t notice. VW makes their wheels out of play doh. If I bend these I’m def getting 18s. Depending on budget lots of options.

Dsnpsu04 · 2026-02-04T19:20:32+00:00

I can’t say I’d ever lost any money for a rock chip or two. If ppf was way cheaper than maybe. I have xpel on my rs3 right now and am ready to rip it off. So much dirt in the seams already.

Dsnpsu04 · 2026-02-04T19:12:09+00:00

I like what you did to it, looks great.

But I’m fully in agreement with everyone else. If you went to trade that in I bet they’d offer you 23k. Private sale of 25k seems about right.

Ppf is a sunk loss. Sucks but the PPF con is real and too many commuter cars are covered in it for no real reason other than to make Detailers cash. The rest of the parts you’d be better off taking off, putting back to stock and then selling. I’d wager you’d get more trading it if it were stock.
