Think you'd be looking at a minimum of a grand - not such good value after that!

P.S. what are 'lux seats' ????

I have lux seats in my S3C. It appears the side bolsters are fatter, and real leather.

Will try and get a picture for you to compare.

had an email about the s sound sgood to me,

Hello Alex This 91 S3 was quite well known to us from 98/2000 . it is very
good inside with tan trim and green carpets which have never been wet !
It has done 58800 miles and is in good condition underneath although there is some surface corrosion on the chassis outriggers and this would benefit
from some protective action .The wheels, tyres and mechanical side of the car are very good and we fitted new springs about 8000 miles ago. Unfortuneatly the
car has suffered some damage to the bonnet in 2001 (we saw the car when it was damaged ;there was no chassis or suspension damage at all) ;this has been repaired (not by us) but there is some crazing on the bonnet as
a result .... and this is reflected in the price ; generally an S3 of this standard would be circa £7k Naturally the car will be supplied with a new
MOT
