Considering a black edition A3 TDI, need some advice.

[epthree]

Hi All,

I've always wanted a black edition A3 since I started driving 3 years ago, I almost bought one 6 months ago however backed out last minute as it was a private sale and I just didn't have enough trust in a stranger to purchase it.

I spoke to Audi and they have found me the following car, please can you let me know if it's worth the money and if it will last 3-4 years.

• 2.0 TDI (140)
• 62000 Miles
• FASH
• 12 Month MOT
• 12 Month Warranty
• White
• Black Edition
• Rotor Wheels
• Sep 2009 Model
• 1 Owner

£11900

Are these engines reliable as I know they was some problems with the original 2.0 TDI 140.

Is the car over priced?

Much appreciated.

 

Thank you.

Tom

It's probably a bit more expensive than you would pay privately but as you have already said you would potentially rather pay a bit more for the peace of mind/warranty.

I can't see any reason it wouldn't last 3 to 4 years if you look after it.

Hi James,

Thanks for the insight.

Yes it's definitely more than you'd pay privately but if something goes wrong I then have someone to blame rather than having an expensive pile of scrap on the drive way.

Hopefully someone with experience of the actual car will swing by and offer some information.

Regards,

Tom.
