The face lift rear lights are much nicer than the older A3.
A petrol must be a better buy on a old car? Less to go wrong
I used to sell this era of Audis. They're decent, though a bit hard of a ride. The 1.6 was a bit gutless unless you got the tfsi model with an extra 15bhp, and a 6th gear.
To illustrate your point about the AA report it had a green tick for dashboard but the airbag light is on.
I had one of these in stock, black S line on a 59 plate, nice car but took ages to sell. They may demand a premium but not many end up paying it, was my experience on it.
Looks well kept Lee, it won't be on the pitch for long.
Thanks again.
Everyone I know that have one, swear by them. Like any car just need servicing and normal care (Tyre pressures, waters topped up etc). I hope it flies out for you Lee hopefully one of your subs might be looking for one.
Hi Lee. Nice Car Lee. Its not your usual but I have never seen you happier 😅😅. So well done Son. I like the Headlights. Lovely looking engine 😅🇨🇮
Thought it was a great buy on your auction video Lee m8 and still think that after your walk round...A few cosmetic things and a service are nothing and I can see nothing but a healthy profit 📈 on this beauty for you...👏🏻👏🏻 Great work Lee buddy and keep the videos coming!!!...👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This will sell no problem Lee, there’s always the young ones who love Audi but can’t afford the prices for the newer models and compromise with the older models and the 1.6 keeps the insurance down, nice one Lee
Good cars these, I had a 2.0 tdi from new never gave any major problems little annoying things like window mechanisms, fan blower burnt out then the climate started playing up with the vent controls but overwise great motors 👍
This looks to be a great example for its year, well done with this one Lee, it should sell very soon❤.
Great channel lee, it’s growing quick 👍 should do alright with the Audi
A Petrol A3 with loads of specs few owners and good service history tick a lot of boxes, it should sell well, but as milage ramps on the likes of those Germanic Diesel cars they can indeed can be trouble it's then the Money light starts to come on getting choked up.... glow plugs, turbos, DPF, EGR Valves, Injectors, waste gate Actuators and linkages, allied with those brittle and cracked plastic parts buried is weird places to contend with, many older diesels come back to bite folks big time, Great Upload.
Never had one of these but used to drive an A6, the point about those cars is that they have an aluminium body so none of the welding issues on mot makes them cheaper in the long run apparently. Always reliable apart from the odd electrical problem.
If it's no good sell it on to Matt at high peak motors, 😎
It looked a nice and tidy buy,
A lack of basic maintenance but that's all,
All in all a nice touch, Bill.
Looks great and sounds nice, result on this one Lee.
Another great video Lee, soon be at 50k. Looks the best part of 4 grand retail 👍
Great vid Lee.
Glove boxes on these are a weak point they all break I replaced mine in my old 2008 TDI. Little repair kits all over eBay..
Great cars age well in some ways the petrol is the way to go especially if for around town. DPF issues at this age had a nightmare with mine…
Looks like a nice buy Lee, I could see from your auction vid that you really wanted this one. Sort a few things and it would make someone a nice car.
Looks a smart car Lee, we have a 64 plate face lift with longer boot A3 rag top which we have had from new and there is nothing in the market to tempt us out of it. Ulez compliant is a bonus, that said my 1963 Triumph Herald Pickup is too which seems crazy. Cheers K.
I’m always puzzled why these cars end up in the auction. Glad you took the plunge Lee. Easy sell. Solid quality car
Car looks tidy apart from the trim niggles. Agree with you that £4000 retail might be pushing it a bit, it is after all a fifteen year old motor and must be a "towny" to have only rinsed on six thou a year. Next owner need to budget for a clutch if it's not been done
Another good video 👍. I think your going to struggle with this one, you can get a decent 10 plate tdi for £3.5k!. I recon £2700 is about right for a petrol 1.6 with that mileage. It will be interesting to see.
Very nice example. I have just purchased a 2014 2.0tdi in black. Great premium brand.
had an early A4 1.6 was bloody gutless! miles i was doing killed it in 12 months replaced with a 1.8 20v that was a great engine used less fuel and did its full 3 years!! no problems!
Love your Vlogs ! Do you do a HPI check on cars before bidding ? or they are pre-checked?
£10 for that AA report is always worth having & cheap really for peace of mind,something you may miss when looking round the car could be expensive. Great video's all the time fella.
Loved my A3 2.0 petrol had it for about 6 years solid motor. 👍
I used to have a 2007 pre facelift 2.0 tdi s line. It started to lose a bit of water before I got rid but it did have nearly 140k on it. The only other issue I had was water getting in to the rear wiper motor which was setting the alarm off. Ive also had a few 8V s lines and an S3 and they have been pretty relaible.
Hi Lee. Looks like a nice car for decent money. Hope it sells well - as you say you’ll find out soon. Good luck. Dave Birmingham
Great Video and content. I would take 5 door s3 but a diesel over a petrol, but i think you will sell it easily
I had the 2,0170bhp tdi and was a great car appart from sticking calipers on 3 corners didn't do me wrong for 30k over 2 years only lost a grand on it too they hold value well although it was the black edition
If it is just those few things that need sorting there is a decent margin. I think the 4,000 book is a too high but you never know. It is a nice looking thing well a good spec. I think you have done well there Lee.
That will sell easily . Its not had too many owners either and it'll have a few more years in it if it continues to be well maintained and serviced.
Nice one Lee belting buy that will sell all day long 3895 top motor cheers dude 🙂🎥🔧✌️
Nice looking car hope it sells for a good profit for you.
Great buy there Lee. Should make some good profit out of it. Probably be an older driver as they're the only ones who can afford the insurance lol....
Was looking at the skoda estate next to it. What do there go for. Audi looks good Lee never heard you so excited about seats & petrol 😅😂
I’ve had one of these diesal variant solid car, they all have a broken glove box heater stops working, airbag light on lol
I have had a couple Audi A3 8p model think there a great car if you get a looked after one I had the 2.0tdi 170bhp one with a remap and the 140bhp 2 litre diesel both decent cars they can definitely hold their milage well good old German engineering
Very nice find Lee, looks great, Id have paid that no problem. I really like these, I'm out in the sticks so a 1.9TDi one would do me nicely.
I have the 1.9 love it 239k
Fabulous!
I can see your excited you got the a3 s line for peanuts brilliant chanel i follow its a bargain lee i have a 2010 8p a3 mines a se sportback low spec i paid £5.000 2 half years ago they hold there money its still worth 5k your A3 s line is double you money easy these older a3s are fantastic mine just passed its MOT with no advisorys i look after mine there great cars ill not sell my 8p A3 its reliable.keep the great work up i like everything you post you supply great used cars under 4k top man.all the best lee m8.
Had a few looks like rear wiper is broken common on them and rear inner tail lights faded also common
Fingers crossed it's just a few cosmetic bits to do, keep spending to a minimum it's got to be a £3650 all day long.
got a audi a3 sline 20tdi and on a 60 plate drives spot on well happy with it
you can see how painful it was for taylor to talk about it, you can tell by his face, bless him
Nice car that should sell ok lee nice to see a good car trader.
Nice car, ya did good, yes I would have bought it, well done.😁
seems a good job done
Nice car good value mate £3995 in London mate
Lee always slags off Lion batteries but there is one in my car 4 years on and it’s fine, starts no problem even these last few frosty mornings even at -10 maybe I got a good one.
I agree. If you just want a cheap battery and will only keep the car for a couple of years why spend more than necessary ?
Always getLion batteries , when required last longer then the guarantee, never let me down. What more could you ask for.
I'm sure with the cosmetic issues sorted,that will be the quickest sale you've had.
You'd have thought that with that car that the petrol engine would be more in demand than the diesel. Being a 2008 model, the diesel version would be clobbered for ULEZ charges if it was ever to go to ULEZ zones, whereas the petrol being newer than 2006 would be compliant, so why on earth dealers would favour the diesel is a bit strange. I know Crewe doesnt have a ULEZ yet, but things can change, especially as we could be due a Labour government later this year, and you never know which way Starmer will swing as regards introducing new CAZ and ULEZ zones everywhere. Better to stick to petrol if the car is older than 2015.
Older petrols are compliant. No idea why people are so obsessed with saying post 2006!!!
All the uk be ulez zones it's all part of the wef 2030 agenda
Nice motor , I would say £3595 ish mark due to its age ,good luck Lee 👍
Thanks 👍
Shipping forecast really very useful in Crewe
Never leave the house without knowing the forecast 😁👍
Nice straight car will sell quick it’s petrol and have all the paper works
Lee this Audi looks a beauty. Yes you’re going upmarket 😀. Love your auction videos and unlike many on you tube. Love the way you say it as it is. Awaiting your next one already 👍👍
Cracking car for someone 👍🏾
When checking on MOT history (I'm sad) it advised before going to the history page there is an Audi recall for this car/model. No idea what for but might be worth finding out?
I noticed that as well, so I won't mention it again.
Definitely a glass half full today 👌
Iv got the auto 2.0tfsi 3 door s line Quattro version, with alcantara seats with adjustable backs and sat nav with 90k, I can’t find any others with my spec.
For some reason the glue always come attached they did in my audi,but of tiger sill job done
👍👍👍👍
I like this
Would you consider swap and cash as mine is a Cat N? Just out of curiosity?
1.9tdi the one to have bombproof and quality car all in 1.😅
I can see and hear Scotty now saying endless money pit. lol.
Common them seat backs Lee
Think in that nick and auction I'd have been in at £1500.. Bit of money spent to sort out the issues.. Be in it for around 2200.. retail around the 3495 mark..
sorry to hear about that taylor!
Nice car
The audi a 3 is a car I was thinking as my next car.
Get down to the the carpitch mate
Octavia dude....
Stay well clear of the 1.6 tdi..
Well known for injector issues..
I'd never again own a car with 4 Arseholes on the Badge 😂😂
@@statementleaver8095😁👍
I don't know. What your name is.?
But I would like to know how you get on with this old Audi, including getting things fixed and the service and the cost !
Good Luck
Flat batter would throw up airbag light
Disco 2 I had lit up like a Xmas tree after a dead cell on battery, but got them all cleared with a new battery
It’s got that Audi smell….drugs, back of seats loose…place to hide the drugs 😂😂😂
exactly what i thought ,,,,thats a police searched car for sure
Not sure about this one Lee, looks like an £1750 private or a £3k forecourt car to me.
I never buy a lot of German stuff probably for exactly the same reasons you don’t Lee, it’s got to be £3495 hasn’t it - Ideal “My first Audi” fodder for some youngster
a lesson from its previous owner on how to lose money: don't bother fixing things as they break. when it all gets too bad, shove the car into auction for a fixer-uper to make a nice profit 😁
Apparently there is an outstanding recall on this vehicle according to the gov.uk site (mot)
Nice clean car…you definitely have not overpaid on it…but…and I know full well the price of second hand cars…but…£3600 or more, now that is definitely overpaying😂
what a bargain ive not seen a a3 s line for 2k youll get 4.5k for it easy its a steel lee m8
I have 2005 20 fsi with only 75.000 miles on the clock but got a oil leak that no one can fix but in mint condition
Just had cam belt n water pump n service
I think the cambelt needs changing every 5 years or 80,000 miles, whichever comes first, £3500 seems about right.
Bit posh for you! Aiming for a better clientele??
It looks like it has a recall on it through audi
Lee got a question - what if any are the potential negatives for an idiot like me buying a car with 100, 000 + miles on the clock . Can such a car or van be relied upon to go on for a few more thousand miles before the bills start rolling in . Is 100,000 some sort of landmark no no flag to leave well alone .
Had one before very thirsty engine..likes to drink
I have an Audi A3 s line convertible 2011 diesel £1800 if you're interested ? Lol😂 great car! Only £ 30 to tax for the year.🎉
£3550 car Lee. Otherwise probably struggle to move it.
Normally when they are done its for drug or hiding things.
135Mls With A Half Tank Of Petrol For A 1600 C.C. The Power To Weight Balance Is Out Maybe A Good Driving Instructor Car
Common them glovebox
Got a 12 plate s line 270 black addition Quattro 170000 in white what’s it worth selling it be greatly appreciated for a price to sell it’s👍
Could it have been a drug car? They might have stashed the coke etc in the back of the front seats?
Nice car. I think the panels on back of seats were removed when drug squad searched it.
A smoker for Lee 🤔
Look at the smile on his face.
Obviously the previous owner didn't care for the car otherwise the glovebox wouldn't have dropped off. Audis can be money pits
