Hi All,
New to the forum as looking to buy an A3 -S-line 2.0 tdi, either 138 or 168 PS. I can't seem to find a specific buying guide - could someone point me in the right direction if there is one.
Currently looking at an 09 170 in good condition with full history but has 87k on the clock for £9.5K.
I beleive the reliability of the enging/clutch on these shoud be fine ( please correct me if i need to watch for anything in particular).
I am a little concerned with the possible re-sale value in 3/4 years with potentially 110-120k miles on. I see there are a lot of cars out there with high miles that seem to sell - should i be concerned?
I've never bought anything with such high miles (barring an 1990 Escort with 110k on not long after i'd passed my test back in 1998) and potentially would be part exing my 07 civic 2.2 Cdti with less miles (83k).
Any help advice would be appreciated.
Cheers
Paul
