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 ?
@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 😆.?
Crazy! I had one of these and sold it last November for £15k back to Audi who I bought it from for £16k, 2 years prior. 1.4TFSI S-Line, 64 reg, 32k miles!
2014 A3 with 7 former keepers, half the car's been repaired and painted and it's from Brum? Calv, I really hope this car isn't as bad as I think it may be.
I can’t lie, that’s the perfect car for a average Joe. I wish I could buy this off Calv as it’ll be a affordable daily. Fuel efficient, diesel, looks the part, good motorway car.
The main thing I would be checking on this car is underneath to make sure there is no underneath apart from that accident car for the money stick a wrap on it and tidy it up and I guarantee you not one person would be able to tell
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 🤣🤣
Can’t beat a Manual, my dad has been a car trader and mechanic and had his own business 48 years. He never buys automatics. I’ve had 38 cars all Manual, and I’m 37 😂 Manuel is the way
Love your enthusiasm and your generosity Calvin nobody on youtube does what you do your planet of dreams is amazing. i love your channel the prize draws are a massive bonus keep up the good work. ps brilliant channel on tiktok as well
Calv der is launch control on them dsg boxed turn traction control off, stop/start off and put into sport mode and push the break peddle hard down floor the throttle and den let go of the break u should get a better time
I had a A3 2.0 TDI 8V with a factory option paint called Shiraz Red, this colour was amazing popped in the Sun and with a few cosmetic mods in gloss black, it will look amazing 👌
Absolute spot on choice calv if I won this I'd be over the moon and would keep it for years what more do you need, thanks again my friend, your smashing it!
Good valet and detail, service/health check and stage 1 map by will vrs and update the car screen with apple car play / android equivalent and it would be another perfect car for me. Love the content calv as always.
In 2011 a best friend who sadly died in a road accident later that year, and I, went to We…….with his bought new FIat Punto T-Jet, same engine as those Abarths. Went like…. Buyer does micrometer test and says this whole rear quarter has been painted, but it is thicker than Fiat paint, so I ain’t….bovvered. He sold to them. A lot of new cars get damaged in transit or in storage. I can remember new reg day one year. I could see half of this metallic red Peugeot had been sprayed, from 50 yards away 😂
You should try and get a BMW 116d M Sport for Planet of Dreams, Calvin, it's the perfect sort of car for the same money and it will appeal to so many different people.
I'm from bham I don't buy cars from here and I'll bet this car was at some point a runner car, if you know...you know. They may be decent guys but I wouldn't trust cars from here, there's a reason they come up to Milton Keynes to get rid not sell..... As a normal car it's nice tbf and 4.5k is cheap for what it is, and to me thats not high mileage.
Sprint blue or Pearl white for the wrap 🤔 I think it will be a great car for people who struggle with insurance plus the fuel and tax will be cheaper 👍 a service and some of Wills magic and this A3 will be a gem 😁👍
Just come across this channel and loved the content mate. Only thing if I may say I don't like is cars being wrapped. Just don't appeal to me. Anyway keep up the great work.
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! 🚗 💨
Great video, as always Calv!!!! Looking for suggestions for wrap colour …. 🤔, I would suggest Porsche Riviera blue? Some of RS models were special orders in that colour and look totally ammmazzing 🥰
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?
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.
Yeah never trust asians from brum either. They know how to make a quid id offer abit more than we buy any car about 2.5 n thatd be it although its not registered as cat s you know that it is
Yes Calvin enjoyed the video mate👍🏽 Me & Waqas have been waiting for this upload since we sold you the car 🤣. We deffo would want to come & be on a vid with you let us know & we’ll get it done asap bro🤙🏽💯
Off topic Calvin , search Chris Harris on the all new lotus Emira , I think he is Will’s long lost twin ?, a striking resemblance, 😂 no a fence just a bit of banter , P.S love your channel
Canary Yellow or maybe a bit more lairy Berry Pearl for colours? Yeah stage 1 on that should help decently with performance I'd imagine. 😂 Definitely looks the part though Calv, modern and just nice car for sure. Look forward to seeing what you do with it either way, and whomever wins will be stoked and lucky!
massivly helps, I have a 2.0 TDI A3 and stock its only 150bhp which was decent considering when I got it I was 19 and it was my first car, a remap and a dpf removal took it to 200bhp, amazing machine

A good detailer will sort the iffy paintwork and get it respectable. Fresh wheel refurb, and a remap and that's a lovely daily.

Cheeky stage 1 map and that will get it up to around 150bhp....with improvements to mpg 👌

Calvin, has to be We buy any car ! That Audi is a decent motor for your price 👍
Most certainly. I have worked for them and the trusty paint pen will of been out 😂
this would be an ideal little run about motor for me to get to the local golf club at back
It will be a great first car. I'll become a dream catcher for that
I'm shocked it's from Birmingham 👀😂😂

2013, 82k
That spec cost in the app is wrong mate, the S-tronic box was a cost option😂🙄
Smashing looking wee car, I think the Blue colour you have on the other A3 you've got look great on this or candy colour white.
This is likely the most user affordable vehicle you'll be giving away. Looks good. Decent road tax 👌

Gotta be the rs3 blue🤷🏻♂️, love the content brother and the things you do!!👊🏻

Calv, that Passat definitely isn't 110bhp, they finished in 1999 ish, it's either a 100bhp AVB, or 130bhp AWX/AVF (5/6 speed) 👍
You should wrap it blue but you have just done the a5 blue so maybe the bright green from the rs3 with an ABT body kit
Can't wait for Will to start digging round this car and decide it's totally fucked and unsafe to drive lmao
Lol hopefully it’s not to that extent 😬🤞
I got a feeling thats going to be the case unfortunately
Good looking car. Would look nice in a nardo grey with dechromed trim.
Wrap it Merlin purple !!

Sepang blue
1.6 tdis are nippy once mapped .. darkside nearly double bhp on them
Funny reaction you did better on the second 0 to 60 good video
Lovely car Calvin 👏👏
As for the colour you have done Sprint Blue and Nardo Grey. What about audi s3 vegas yellow ??? Will look amazing once finished!😎
Audi merlin purple style wrap would be sick calv
Was that a Stelvio in the background
Get a S3 Quad Duel Exhaust and Diffuser too
Nardo grey is an amazing colour
I have a Audi A3 1.6 tdi sportback SE in the same colour! It’s really weird to see you test driving a car very similar mine.👍🚙🚘

How about an Audi exclusive color? green 2d8 would be a good 1 just not grey!!
Hopefully its not that costly keep the awesome vontent coming
deep purple wrapp would look sick
Excited to see how this ends

Been watching so long now I've forgotten what happened to the ONIT Taxi.
Let’s gooo another video love your vids calvin
I think a red or a matte grey would look sick
Dream car for me and wife love a Audi automatic had some bad look with cars this would be great for us

Cracking motor there Calv
40 bhp more with a remap. Bet flies then. Unless Will says better spending money on injectors or similar.
I'm thinking 2.5 rs3 swap and keep the body stock
if it was catagorised then you would avoid it ?
