Nice individual colour this !

Thanks... It's a pearlescent garnet red... You won't see too many... It's one of the reasons I bought it. I contacted my local Audi on Monday regarding am RS3 tent had but still no call back.... Same thing happened when I was thinking about a ttrs last year... Changed my mind for the RS3 as I got two kids now and although we have a second car when we have a family event it's always better to turn up in the rs

Very nice colour I like that. Bet it comes up great with a machine polish.

 

Some dealers seem useless at selling some of the RS range.

Like they dont need the business..


Ibis RS3 - Buckets - Bose - Black Ed - Cruise - High Beam Ass - Privacy - Elec Mirrors - Heated Rear Seats - Light & Rain Pack

VW California GP 180 DSG - "Candy"!

It's probably because most RS owners are unreasonably fussy buggers. Like demanding that a £40k car has brakes that work in the wet and don't screech, a steering wheel that doesn't wobble, or a drivetrain that isn't made of plasticine....

Several dealers arent interested in trading the RS3 in due to all the issues!

 

Thats why they end up at SSC West Yorkshire.

Really!! Well most of the RS3 s out there are still under warranty so I will go to Audi anyway. Ssc is top dollar for the cars anyone had any experience with them? They are also quite far from me but appreciate that I may have to travel for the right car. I'm also considering this car in the link... Not a big far of the wheels but maybe worth checking out? They are based in bolton not sure if I will make it up there before Xmas. http://www.aaperform...&maximumPrices=

If your looking for a Car in warranty you may be better off staying within the Main Dealer Network as there are a few Cars out there that already have a TD1 fagged up against them and also any mapped Car (even if it's been returned to std) could cause issues if a Claim was ever needed.

Thanks guys.... Based in north London.... Not overly worries about manufacturer warranty as most dealer have some sort of warranty too , hoping to keep the car some time so willing to invest in it... Then again I probably invested way too much in my tt too but I can't stand things not being perfect. I guess you also need a bit of luck.. my tt has been very good to me with zero issues and it's 7 years old.

I saw that one advertised and looks awesome... They are quite far from me and top budget... How much did you sell it to them of you don't mind me asking? Quite a few RS3 s on the market at the moment considering their rarity and a couple see quite well priced consisering. Ideally need to sell the tt first but havnt advertised it yet... Gonna get killed on a px so totally not worth it, will try and sell to someone who will appreciate the hard work that's gone into it.

To be honest I'll have any colour, it's the engine I'm after... Suzuka grey is nice though
