Thanks a lot for the comments. The prices of audi a3 has risen a bit. lets see... I'm trying to get the latest model that is 2008/2009. Lets see whether i get lucky... thanks again..

I might be getting closer to my previous question... why did they write off your audi a3? was the cost of repair considerably higher? I dont want my car to be written off and be on the loosing end coz my target is to get a good resalable car, use and maintain well and sell it in good condition with the least loss that i could have. your tips above are really helpful. I am re-considering petrol vs diesel due to the fact that i'm not running a lot of mileage. lets see

Thanks for the information. Yes a lot of cars come on autotrader. but I am looking for a car with less mileage. There are cars available, but my concern is that most of them are categorised with C or D. I am just trying to find out the reason behind them been categorised more than other vehicles in the market. was wondering whether it is due to price of parts etc. or any other specific reason. I'm not looking for an A3 to have the effect of a sports car. I want to use it as my family car. Just that i want to get an Audi and this is the only one which fits into my budget with less miles and much newer. Otherwise I would have to settle with an A4 but an older model. No I do not do a lot of miles. Do you recomend a petrol in that case? I am more worried about repairs/costs rather than performance of the car to go fast. :)

Hi Everyone, I am looking for a Audi A3 5DR Deisel 2007 or 2009 for less than 7K. Is this possible? I have found few cars on few sites. what i realised was that compared to other models most Audi A3's have been insurance categorised as C or D. Is there a specific reason for this? Are the parts expensive? or Expensive to repair? Any advice would be helpful as I dont want to get it written off for a slight dent in the corner after buying an A3.
