Yay, new(ish) car.
I wanted to change my old Audi 100 with a newer, smaller and a bit more economical car. The Audi 100 it's now used by my brother. Initially I wanted a small diesel hatckback(Alfa 147 JTDm 150hp was on top of the wish list, Polo/Ibiza/Fabia with the 1.9TDI 130hp) but they were above my budget or with very very high mileage. So I started looking at petrol engines again and I found this 2002 Audi A3 1.8T and so far I'm very pleased with my purchase. Only one previous owner, the exterior of the car looks in very good shape with only a couple of very minor scratches. Interior it's also in a good shape generally, there are some wear marks: on the climate control buttons, a small hole on the driver seat, and two holes under the pedals thorugh the mats and through the carpet (the owner from the papers was a man but I'm guessing a woman drove the car with heels). The eninge feels very solid and fast(fast,compared to my old 2.3 from the 100), it was serviced regulary, but the fuel pump it's noisy on startup so I will replace it sometime, but for now I think is still ok(on my old quattro I had a noisy fuel fump for two years until I decided to change it and even then the engine worked very well) It is very well equiped and I love the alcantara seats.
And some (crappy phone) pics:
