Potential RS3 8P owner

Had my eye on an 8P RS3 for a little while now. Currently run a B5 RS4 as a daily but the miles are creeping up on it (155k) and I’m wanting to make the switch to something newer for a daily - besides I already have a toy car in the garage in the shape of a series 1 MK1 golf 😉 and it’s been neglected of late due to all the work I’ve been doing on the B5!
I’ve seen a couple of nice ones, unfortunately the one I had my eye on has now been sold 😭😭 I’ve recently secured the sale of my B5 which is a little bit gutting as I’ve had it for 4 years and it’s a great car, just time for someone else to give it a break from the daily grind and give it a full resto!
Is there anything i should be looking out for when buying? I’ve been to look at a couple but nothing too serious as I wanted to touch base on here first
Cheers people

Hi and welcome,
There's a ton of good knowledge on here and the folks are very supportive. I am in the same position as yourself on the lookout for the right car, have missed out on a couple so far much due to having a sensible other half who likes to wait until we accrue the capital before making substantial purchases.
I'm sure the people with 8P RS3's will follow up with a lot of great advice so best of luck with your journey.

Haha cheers, my other half couldn’t give a monkeys! She knows that cars are my thing so let’s me get on with it thankfully! Yeah hopefully so, I’ve missed out on a couple due to problems with my B5 that I had to sort out before sale.....last job to do tomorrow then it’s off to its new home I like to think it was telling me not to sell haha!
Hopefully going to see a low mile 8P in the next coming week, just waiting on some pics from the dealer first before I make the choice to go see it as it is in Nottingham which is quite a trek for me!
Best of luck finding yours too

I’m enjoying the feeling of a modern car and the DSG is pretty good even though I still try and put my foot on it as if it was a clutch! Even managed 32mpg on a run yesterday - which I know isn’t really important in a car like this, but just thought it was amazing considering what I was used to with the B5 RS4
Anyways, it’s just staying standard for the moment, well apart from removing the front plate.....I did that when I got home haha! I’m gonna keep a close eye on things over the next couple of months as it has a bit of a warranty so would like to get things done if it needs it!

Agreed.
