A3 Sportback 1.5 TFSI Auto Buying Advice

[Greyanglia]

Moving over from the B9 forum as looking to buy a 2018/2019 A3 Sportback. Mrs Greyanglia wants an automatic and heated seats (comfort pack) and hates white. I just want  reasonably low mileage and in good nick.

Any advice on the 1.5, whether Black editions are worth the extra and any other general buying advice?

They seem to hold their value and are surprisingly expensive. Can't really afford the latest 2020 model and not that impressed by the looks and cheap interior tbh.

Thanks.

Black editions are nice. It's important the auto gearbox has been well serviced.

Thanks. I've found a 2018 Black edition with 14,600 mls from an Audi dealer. They are servicing it, including cambelt change and four new tyres. Presumably we're alright on DSG oil change for a while but I'll check with them before collecting it.

Sounds great 👍🙂
