I mentioned back in August that my friend is getting rid of his S3. He's finally bought a new car so it is going to be my new car. Had a drive today and look through the service history etc. It's a 2016, 6 speed DSG on 95k. Any recommendations on getting Car Play/Android Auto fitted?

Now £20k. By far the cheapest 981 S for sale anywhere.

I always wanted one of these.

Sadly need to sell this and get something with more seats. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/336838188094 I've spent a small fortune on this since buying it in December and covered around 10,000 miles. Would take a part ex of something up to £5k and automatic.

He's owned it for 8 years and he's in his 60s. I've been in the car with him many times, it's not been thrashed.

2016 S3 Sportback, talk to me. A friend is getting rid of one and I've been offered it cheaper than whatever he would get as a trade in. It's done approx 100k. Completely standard and never really driven hard. Good idea/bad idea? Could sell the Cayman, get approx £10k back and still have a...
