I have been trying to sell my Audi S3 for two months and have had very little interest. As far as S3s go, it is in much better condition than any other I have seen - it has:

• Only 24,000 miles
• Audi FSH
• Immaculate condition
• Immaculate Audi 18inch wheels
• Taxed till May '07
• Passed MOT in May '06
• BOSE sound system
• Climate control
• 6 CD changer
• Leather Recaro interior
• Electric seats
• £16,000

It pains me to see the car go because I absolutely love it and it is in perfect nick - but it makes it even more painful when no-one wants to buy it!

Any suggestions would be massively appreciated...

Sounds like its in perfect nick!

The only thing I would say, is the price, you can pick them up for £10,000+ obviously the millage will be higher and it would be an older model, but you still pick one up with less than £45k miles and full history for around £13k........

What year is the car?

 

[Harry Bridgeman]

2003 - One of the last models produced...

 

[Cozzie_S3]

Where have you advertised it?

 

[Harry Bridgeman]

Autotrader & Pistonheads - I think I will lower the asking price to £15,000

It might also be to do with the time of year !! Christmas expenses coming up, so people have not got as much money spare. They always say in the car trade its the worst time to sell a car in the winter but best time for a buyer to find a bargain...

Might beworth holding on to it till the spring if you can to get a better price as it does sound like a good car for the money

the prices sounds about right for the Uk market for the year and milage... yeah Xmas is around the corner and all but would thought they maybe a bit of intrest tho...

have you thought about PART-X for the right figure or have you already got your next car sorted??

Thanks for the advice guys - I think you may be right with the time of year being the main obstacle. I might just hang onto it till Spring.

Don't need any more details, got an S3 myself!! Think 16k is a bit optimistic, you could get one that age and milage from a dealer! Put it down to 14.5k / 15k - you're bound to get more interest!
Anyway it's no hardship having an S3 over winter - think o the fun you can have in the snow!!

its the wrong side of xmas and its getting closer...

It may be a bit high on the price... however if its been looked after you will find a buyer...

wait till around feb and i bet it goes then!!

Cheers
