Thanks @Magnet. Fair points. Thing is, that tin of beans is cheaper in other places. Over here, depending on which part of the country you’re in, the price can vary considerably. Higher spec Audi’s have sold for lower than this particular car up north. May all be relative if buying/selling in same area but as this is a purchase I only tend to make every 10 years or so, and a different brand of car, just trying to get clued in and get the best deal I can. There is also supply too, chip supply increasing and serious inflation coming. Trying to think ahead on how this will affect the market. It’s not an essential item so my head usually rules over heart, so I can wait. 🙂 It’s a lovely car though 😉

Sorry @Magnet, I didn't even notice that. No, it's a 2018 model.

Good call about the cambelt and water pump. My current car needed that done about 40,000 miles ago. lol As sad as it sounds, I have never owned a car with Sat Nav. The ads states that it does indeed have Sat Nav. I assumed that was in all Audi's? Do you have to pay for maps etc? Is it possible to link up Google Maps from an iPhone to the MMI? I suppose I will get the seller to demo it. Thanks, CD

Great advice I hadn't thought about Steve! Thanks

Hi, Tempted to switch from a now failing 2007 MK5 GTI to an Audi A3 S-Line. I would like to get some inside info as the rough price the traded Audi A3. I am not averse to a dealer making a profit; I just want to make sure I am not paying over the odds. I have carried out the usual research by comparing similar cars of Autotrader and understand that the value of these cars are approximately £3000 over what you would have got one for a couple of yeas ago, due to demand and chip shortages etc etc. The car in question is a 2018 A3 Sportback 1.5l, Nano Grey, Black Edition (35,000 miles on clock). Just standard apart from maybe cruise control. How much do you think a dealer would have paid for the trade-in when the previous owner traded it in?..Approximately. It is being sold for £19000 and I understand that this is around average at the moment, but to gain insight into the profit the dealer is making would be extremely beneficial, especially if it has been on the forecourt for a while. Many many thanks, CD
