Okay, I'm looking at 98' A3 1.8T and I've checked out pretty much everything about this car and model from reviews and with my insurance company, so I know all the issues...
I really like the car, but I have a few concerns that I thought I would draw on the OcUK knowledgebase to answer...
1) The guy is a mechanical engineer and has done many services himself (timing belt was garage). There are receipts, but this is still a gap in the service history... would this be a serious concern when I came to sell this car on, and could I demand a significant drop in price due to this?
2) The car has been garaged for up to 10 weeks. He had started the car before we got there but otherwise it ran excellently. Is there anything to be concerned about due to the amount of time it was garaged?
