Hi there,

I'm in the process of selling my S3 to make way for an early discovery. My dad had one when they first came out in Australia, and I remember it being totally awesome.

But which model to get? I'd ideally like a diesel, but I have no idea which year was good, which was bad, how many km are too many, and so on.

My budget is about $6k - will I get something suitable or am I just dreaming?

Cheers,

Leon

A $6k Tdi would be a parts car or a fixer upper I think. Would get a nice V8 for that though (I'm talking 94-99 models).

If you are prepared to look further than SE Qld (such as NSW and even Vic) then you will get it cheaper. Qlders seem to think they are gold plated.

I got my 93 200tdi with 212,000km's, 1 owner, reece hitch, dual batteries and R380 box for $8000.

They real gearbox they came with is crap so I was lucky to see the previous owner fitted it with the later model gearbox.

I want the 200tdi because it lacks a computer and I want the pre face lift model (late 94 onwards).

Have a look on ebay but you might be pushing to find a good one for 6k though.
