Audi S3 8p - Prices
Discussion
Hi,
I have been looking at the S3 8P Market (06-10) for about a year to replace my Clio 200.
Are these every going to come down in price?! They have stagnated at about £10k for a while now, I am not too sure people are throwing £10k at these with the lease culture we have going on, especially as some are now 11 years old.
Any chance of them coming into £5k realm? I just don't see how they command £10k in this day.

Only the low mileage ones are 10k, and I can't ever see 261bhp low mileage Audis dropping to 5k.
Well yes forgive me for not looking at the leggy ones, and yeah that is true.Edited by Integroo on Tuesday 11th July 13:31
I bought one tail end of last year with 60k on it or something with full audi history with a nice spec and 1 owner, I think I paid 9500 for it. Which I thought was a good price at the time, and he had plenty of other people after it.
It isn't the most exciting car in the world but its got quite a nice interior considering its age, still looks half decent when clean and shifts along alright (in the first couple of gears anyway).
The reason they command money probably a combo of the above and it doesn't look like a dogs dinner like many of the newer hotter hatches do with 18 exhausts etc. I mainly bought it as I didn't want to lose a ton of cash for when I probably buy an M3 shortly.

Thanks, a fairly "typical" review of these.It isn't the most exciting car in the world but its got quite a nice interior considering its age, still looks half decent when clean and shifts along alright (in the first couple of gears anyway).

So I ask, is it worth me diving I. For a well looked after example? Or shall I be lookin elsewhere. Just interested in your opinion, thanks again.

Well, only you know whether its worth it to you. Certainly they do not offer 'value' like a Mazda 3 MPS might, but they are a nice car and still look good. There are good examples out there, certainly worth looking for one, many have been ragged to death by chavs. Mine was one owner who had every thing that had ever happened to it, both keys, and was very very well looked after. It was a big factor in me buying it.So I ask, is it worth me diving I. For a well looked after example? Or shall I be lookin elsewhere. Just interested in your opinion, thanks again.

How much cash have you got to spend on a new car? Whats your commute?
up to £8k, 12.5 miles each way daily commute - A road blast 10 miles and rest moderate traffic, I average 25mpg in a clio at the moment and only ever use V-max, so economy not an issue, although please don't reccomend a Monaro, etc, my wallet is not that big 
Similar commute to me (16 miles) and I have averaged 27mpg in my S3 over the last 7000 miles.
I've owned it 10 months and am looking to change. As above, it looks smart, is a nice place to sit, it's pretty practical, stats look decent on paper but it's just a bit.... Dull. There isn't really anything wrong with it but nothing I'll miss in getting rid of it.
I had an s2000 as a fair weather / weekend toy as well but now the Audi is my only car I literally never find myself taking the long scenic route home for a hoon.
