MadBenNI Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I'm looking to buy a 2006 A3 sport 2.0 Tdi with 92000 miles at £3999. Is this a good buy or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffcoggin Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 It all depends on condition, and you are the only one who can assess that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBenNI Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 The condition is good, I've a mechanic say that it is a bad year for the A3 but I though I would ask someone who has one possibly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Hello Ben, Ask your mechanic why he says 2006 is a bad year? Re. the car you are thinking of actually buying- service history? How long has the last owner had it? Are you going to contact him/ her to find out more about it before you buy ( assuming this is a trade sale rather than private)? Never buy without doing that - it's the best way of finding out what is wrong - if not buying it directly from the owner. N, I and prices? Don't know, but you should be able to research what is available locally as a comparison. Part exchanging against it? It all makes a difference. As I understand it all MOTs over there are done at VOSA type stations ( similar to HGVs here?) rather than at MOT stations, so the uniformity of assessment should be better than over with us. Good luck with whatever you decide. Kind regards, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffcoggin Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 In your position Ben, I would find out what is wrong with it, (all s/h cars have faults in my view,) get the costs to put right anything you can't live with, add those costs to the purchase price, and then assess if you can or want to spend that much money.
