Anyone else selling their 8L S3's?

After an 02 03 model, looking around and keen to get in touch with people who are interested to sell.

Cheers

What about this one?

That blue S3 on Trademe is nice, it's due for a cambelt tho. Does anyone know what they cost for fit for these?

found this one on trademe - http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/audi/s3/auction-443115792.htm

Does anyone know what the MTM upgrade would me/might be. I see from this link the seller posted it could possibly be any number of different things http://www.mtm-online.de/en/Audi/S3/1-8-T-155-kW-210hp-Quattro?FZID=S3155Q

Initally didn't appeal at all cause it has terrible photos. Is it red or orange?

It's red. S3's only came out in that red. It's a crappy pic and has been on TM for a while. But looks like a good spec- check for cam belt and look through history. S3's are a great car and good value for money. I'd buy another one in a heart beat!

generally the mtm s3's in nz have just had the ecu upgrade. Was a $4k option from the dealership. So approx 240-250hp.
I'd be expecting a new clutch around those kms. Especially as it has a towbar!

ok viewed the red s3 today, was very nice.

Has had its cambelt changed at 105k (currently 128k) but it was way back in 2008. Also had a new clutch at 96k.

I see that sometimes cambelt changes are recommended at a distance/time interval. Usually 5 years I think in the case of an S3. So given the cambelt was done only 20k ago but almost 5 years do you think that is an issue??
