New Car : S3

Maxeh · 14 Mar 2010 at 16:11

Picked this up on Saturday, 99' S3 in Imola Yellow.

So far I am very pleased with it, decent performance and extremely comfy.

Mileage is approaching 100k, but I don't think it shows it at all.

No plans for it really as it already has a Milltek exhaust and a re-map, but its booked in for a cambelt and service next weekend.

Looks nice, not sure about the yellow. The purple in the A3 was always my favourite.

Max, that looks great! Interior looks very tidy, very good choice my man

Nice, new headlights and newer style S3 badges and it'll look great

Looks good. How much was it?

Not a big fan of the colour, but hope you enjoy it. Should go well with a remap.

Are the mirrors real ally ones?

Maxeh · 14 Mar 2010 at 16:17

It was £4,850.

Edit: Mirrors are genuine Audi ones yeah.

Thats a damn fine price for an S3! I remember looking at these before I got my 330 and didnt go along with the idea because they were all to much £££.

Maxeh · 14 Mar 2010 at 16:19

Thats the one!

Those Recaros are epic, looks like they're heated too?
Good spec and a good price to match!

Enjoy it

Maxeh · 14 Mar 2010 at 16:28

Yeah they are heated, which I believe fairly rare.

How much I will actually use them is questionable but its a nice touch.

DM · 14 Mar 2010 at 16:33

Nice one, the previous owner sounds very enthusiastic too.

Maxeh · 14 Mar 2010 at 16:37

Yeah he was a top bloke, very honest and great to deal with.

Took me out in the CSL too which was very nice.

zetec452 · 14 Mar 2010 at 16:39

That doesn't look like a car made in 99. Very nice.

Maxeh · 14 Mar 2010 at 16:44

I am thinking about getting an S3 *** plate as on a T plate it does show its age.

Peerzy · 14 Mar 2010 at 16:45

I saw a S3 *** yesterday, he revv'ed me at the lights and zoomed off in his 2.0 TDI derv A3 with a big exhaust, tinted windows, and big alloys :rolleyes:

Enjoy it!
