2015 a3 automatic jap import

Featured Replies

Hi,

I am looking at 2015 Jap import.

I have read so much on net about probs with this year of car regarding automatic gearbox. Is there a high possibility of something going wrong . It has 88000km on click.

Thanks.

Welcome Shane and thanks for joining. 
Bear in mind that bad news travels fast. Much faster than good news. 
Oil change services with auto boxes is now a must. 
For consideration:- someone thought it economically viable to import this 9 year old car; have been told but not confirmed - parts of Japan can suffer from high rainfall, so always check for underbody corrosion; increased insurance premiums? Price should obviously be lower than U.K. equivalent. 
Perhaps you could let us know what you think. 
Kind regards,

Gareth.

The inside of the car was like new.

No marks or scuffs on any of the plastics inside. Had a small look underneath at the back end and looked fairly clean. Very smooth when taking off easy. When looking for extra acceleration it would drop a gear or so and nearly put you back in seat and speed up. I was a fun test drive. Looking 15000 for car.

Thanks Shane,

Not sure of ROI prices, but c£12,800 for a 9  year old Japanese import A3 would seem a little bit heavy on the pencil to me. 
Kind regards,

Gareth.
