Calvin, have you thought about buying cars from Hong Kong? loads of expats have left and are still leaving, prices are cheap (comapring what you paid for this) and shipping wasn't too bad before Covid, maybe you can find a deal ?

[@rhsautomotive]

@Calvin'sCarDiary do you want another S-Line Audi A3 2016 65 plate, 84k, Manuel, near mint condition after a valet, 2keys.... needs some screen wash 😆.?

Had a 66 plate A3 Saloon. Loved it! Only the 1.4tfsi S-Line. Only thing I didn’t like about it was the s-tronic gearbox. Great at first, but soon learnt to dislike some of the things it does. Now back to a manual and loving life again 🤣🤣

[@raymondnewton22]

Love this Calvin! What a car you’ve found there. Colour I think the black looks and suits the car but does need sorting, making it an S3 replica I would say the navy blue colour. That would suit this A3 shape. Nice set of S3 wheels too. This would be the ideal family car for someone to win. It would be a car I’d keep if I won it! Looking forward to watching the transformation of this car! 🚗 💨

[@MrSausageT]

So they are car traders and they took a car they repaired to “a car buying company” to sell it. It sounds pretty sketchy to me 🤔. Hope I’m wrong Calv, as it’ll be a good buy if so! Did you get any photos of it pre-repair?

[@S.ASmith]

From Brummyland too, repaired with 7 former keepers...thats... "no thanks" Car black book values were £6.5k, so car is worth no more than about £3.5k-4k in it's current state. It needs a full body/chassis check, paint work correction & a bloody good service (belts, oil, filters, possibly tyres). It's not a write off, but you know, it could just be more hassle than the car is worth in the long run.

[@MrSausageT]

@@S.ASmith agreed,at least if its a category car you would have some understanding on how bad the damage was.
