Going with an older S4 that we can tune and tweak on.

quattrogirl; besides our forum here, what other avenues are you using to sell your S3? Since I ordered my RS3 about a month ago, I've had my 2015 S3 for sale. Started with AutoTrader (premium ad) but was contacted by Network Sellers. They not only linked me up to about 15 various car sales sites but offer financing and extended warranties as well. Something as a private seller, I could not normally do of course. Unfortunately, no serious offers yet. Did not wish to work a trade with my dealership for the RS3 as I have modded my S3 considerably. Stage II now with about 400 HP in addition to clear bra and other items. Good luck with your sale however and tuning your S4. I love my S3 but the attraction of the RS3 is too strong. LOL

Fixeroh, I've had pretty good experience selling on autotrader.com. I think the problem is that your S3 is tuned and most people including myself will keep their hands off modded cars especially knowing that the manufacturers warranty is voided.

Fixeroh

You make a very good point shivamerlin. And I certainly considered that. Tried to write my ad in a way that shows the tunes were done by professionals. Not just me hacking on the car. LOL. Indicated I have Audi care and all service records as well. Crappy thing is if I want to trade the car, I would have to detune it so Audi can sell it as certified. Was informed they may work a trade with it in it's tuned state since the tunes are considered 'tasteful' and not over the top in any way. Which I guess means no big *** wing mounted to the trunk lid. But I see other S3s on Autotrader which are not moving very quickly either. $40K for a used car can be a hard sell sometimes. Thanks for your input!

Not having neons in the undercarriage as well?

Fixeroh

My S3 had neon colored undercarriage LEDs as standard equipment. Didn't yours?

Timmay

No, but I got spinners on mine as a bonus throw-in during my negotiations with the dealer. I'll have to look into the neon LEDs!

Fixeroh

Spinners!!!! I'm jealous!!! Oh, but I have the sparkplug exhaust mod that causes open flames to shoot out the exhaust tips - on downshifts. But only in the S mode of course. :-)

Timmay

You mean something like this? Holy s*** I need this! :-)

Who needs neonz when your flame throwing exhaust is so hot it's about melt?!
