Did you forget about me, who lives two mins away and is the original S3 slayer? You so mean.
I know of a VERY nice facelift LC in Plymouth for £1800.
Things to look out for are split boost hoses, leaking door seals, MAF faults, broken window clips and fogged up front lights. The rest is pretty bulletproof.
If you want to take me along for vag-comming and bargaining I'm always up for it.
