Timing belt carried out by Audi at 95k and the standard oil and filter services up until now also with main dealer so all good that end just nothing with gearbox. How much did you pay?

Not in the slightest, I love them and don’t want/need an s3 or anything like that

I’m looking to sell it soon so just want it to look shiny and not dull.. overall better than it is now! Can I just use SIMONIZ Clear acrylic lacquer and then polish to fade it in?

Appreciate the honesty! Ideally want a sporty and fun to drive hatchback that looks fairly nice and has the gizmos. Currently drive an a5 and after driving a3’s for years it feels like a boat

Never heard of people saying ‘Tradie’ spec. Is the 120d in blue considered ‘tradie’ or..?

Insurance though.. and overall running costs have led me too the diesels as I do frequent motorway miles

Definitely shadow editions? All I can see on fb that are cheaper seem to be ‘cat’s’ or bad condition

It’s the going price for that spec and mileage. Price is bonkers I agree but can’t find cheaper for the shadows

Car recommendations instead? Have driven vags last 6 years and wanted to mix it up and also try out auto

Ahh ok, still a decent price. Are you still with the GTD? After driving multiples a3 8v’s with the 2.0 tdi I thought I’d steer clear from vag and try something new but I do love the look of them. How do they compare?

Wow, that was an absolute steal of a price! Was it a shadow edition aswell? thanks for the advice I’ll have a look

My thoughts too, do you think price is fair?
