    That sounds fantastic, how many KM's and if its in good condition id say go for it. I think the DSG's in the VW had to be serviced every now and then and it was quite expensive. Not totally sure about the Audi but being VAG might be the same. Id be looking that up for piece of mind. But all in all should be a quick car.

    I have seen photos and the car is immaculate,looks new.
    About 50,000km on the clock he is replacing it wih a R36 Passat Wagon which arrives soon.
    Car belongs to a friend of a workmate.
    I just have to let go of my emotional attachment to the VXR .
    Put a lot of effort into maintaing those two cars....it was like someone cut off my left leg losing it !

    I can imagine it would suck majorly, what ever you end up getting im sure itll bring you plenty of joy, well fingers crossed it does. The A3 sounds like a great buy if priced right, good luck Click here to enlarge

    Just not certain about replacing it with another VXR now,have to go remove personal stuff from the car tomorrow.
    Maybe I should buy her something a little more sedate.
    Recaros are a personal item... Pretty sure vxrs came with just cloth seats and 18"s not 19"s
