This seems expensive, but then prices seem to be all over the place. (i'm not looking in case any one asks). I know the quality of these can vary a lot ( chassis done or not done for example) but even then the price seems vary a lot.
Anybody think they have bought a bargain or been ripped off or is a car worth whatever someone is prepared to pay for it?

I reckon around £6k for a near-perfect one, so £9k is way over the top.

Don't devalue our cars Roy! I think £7k max for a perfect one with evidence of work done, etc wink

Agree with both Norman and Roy. Recently parted with £6,800 for a 91 S3C in comparable condition. That was a private purchase though. Most of 4 Star's stock appears to be very optimistically priced but I dare say that a punter who hasn't boned up on the S will come along.

I'm sure this car and vendor have been discussed before - didn't it start off at £12K or something crazy ??

I believe you're right. I reckon £6,500 isn't an unreasonable private asking price for a mint low mileage late S3, and if you add another £500 - £1,000 for a dealer sale you're getting a bit closer to £9k, but not that close!

from the tvr dealers i know £2000 is there mark up to allow for overheads etc
if its a good clean car selling for £6500 - 7000 private sale then its not far off
may seem alot but there isn't to many clean s3's out there , and if you want a clean
looked after model with money been spent on it to maintain it in good condition
you'll have to pay for it

if you have a good s dont under value it ! there's not many out there

I reckon after following me on various roadtrips on his motorbike he's regretting selling his S. And its interesting that even after a couple of years its still his profile picture wink

As others have said don't devalue the cars, I recently sold my 91 S3c with just over 50k on the clock, I advertised it for literally just under £6k and got only a couple of hundred less for it, but back to the original topic, is that S3 worth £3k more ? probably not, but people will pay more for a car that they forcast will not need much money spending on it.

Cheers.....Tony..
