Hi, was looking at getting an S3 8P but realized it will probably cost a fortune to run! I have now been looking at the 3.0 A5, as I have heard good reviews in regards to performance and reliability.

My budget is 10-12K but am torn between a higher mileage (100K +) with a higher spec or a lower mileage one with a lower spec. Is there anything particular I need to look out for when buying? Do the timing chains have any issues at higher mileage?

Many thanks,

Harry
