    Great video, a bargain for someone and a days money so all good - just the sort of car that shouldn't be written off and scrapped just because it's scruffy with 2 insurance claims on it, the sort of car that's perfect as a winter beater for commuting to work/train station and keeping the shiny car/motorbike at home!

  • @HoLDoN4Sec
    @HoLDoN4Sec 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    the 1.6 litre BSE petrol engines on those older A3's could run for ages with no issues.
    VAG had really reliable engines before they introduced TSI/TDI/TFSI engines.
    500 pounds for one of those with no electrical problems is actually insanely cheap, you can make an insane profit just by taking it apart and selling its parts individually.
    has always been the case with VAG cars - reasonably cheap but original OEM VAG parts are insanely expensive.

    Again nicely done, buying it at the right price helped, so if it did go the wrong way you had a bit of wiggle room. You've got nothing to lose by putting it on Insta and if it doesn't work out contact the traders. It's got a few marks but for that kind of money and mileage it's probably going to make a nice enough run around for someone.

  • @super6954
    @super6954 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for another great video, I'd say the same as I do here when I sell equipment. If somebody knows the exact truth you know about something and they still want it sell it to them as is where is, you aren't out to screw anybody over intentionally like some out there are. I sold a machine here this week a customer didn't want to spend the money on repairing. It was like that car still too good to scrap, so I did it in my spare time and bought the parts to get it right.
    It priced at exactly what I had in it with my time and I told the buyer exactly where it came from and the whole history behind the deal. He was the first guy in the yard , wasn't wasting my time and would of paid full asking. I still knocked a bit off, because I wasn't going to spend a week dealing with time wasters before selling it either. Hope it sells of the lot for you, Take care.

    Before the video started I was convinced that the A3 was £500 as a CD was jammed in the stereo constantly playing "Agadoo" by Black Lace at maximum volume on repeat! Imagine the horror! As for the car what with it being a 1.6 petrol it will make for a great vehicle to take to railway stations, leave at the airport, or use for school runs, etc. what with it being tatty. Alternatively a good vehicle to teach yourself body repairs on. Good value at £1250, hope someone snaps it up. Thank you.

    Having has a 58 plate that was the face lift like that one is (rear lights having led is a big giveaway) I can confirm that if you'd driven it, and turned lock to lock and got some charge in it, all of those dash lights would have gone off.
    Each time I had a dead battery, everything lit up like a christmas tree and a quick loop around the block and it cleared itself.

    When you said you were going to pass it to a trader only I was shouting at the screen! I am so glad you are going to do a trade sale via Instagram, yes you know one of us subscribers would bite your hand off for that at £1250.
    New front pads, oil an filter service, replacement battery an a full MOT and only 75k on the clock. If you have less that 50 people standing in line with the cash I would be stunned.

    Based on my experience with VAGs: never remove any codes before you review all of them, even if majority of them are related to flat battery. Some codes might be some old but indicated ongoing issue with the car. I.e. my 2009 Audi A6 had issue with evap system however the error code pops up randomly once every couple hundreds miles.
