That's nice

You will love it they are a real fun car to drive, with a few basic mods Revo. Stage 4 or similar they then become a really fast point to point car.

 

[Richyy182]

The car is unreal and amazing / the noise!!!

 

[Daniel]

Very nice. I'm not jealous. At all.

c**t.

 

[Richyy182]

Hahaha you can have a drive if you ever come to the tunbridge wells area

 

[Chi]

Very nice mate. ..

 

[ben_p]

Nice!

 

[Richyy182]

Pick it up next sat

 

[Richyy182]

Finance sorted - I'm in!!!

 

[Krys_23]

Is it really worth it? 20-22k? What do you do for a living? A nice sprint blue 57 plate s3 can be picked up for £13,000 .

Maybe he doesn't want a nice sprint blue 57 plate s3?

 

[Richyy182]

I work as a barristers clerk in London - been there 14 years working my butt off. Always wanted a RS and in two/three years I can't see the prices dropping much

 

[Richyy182]

I got it for 18k

 

[Krys_23]

i just find the interiors of the rs very bland, identical to your 1.6 focus bar a boost gauge or so !

I've been considering either an rs or s3 long enough now, the rs exterior is gorgeous, as well as a brilliant engine, the dash etc just puts me off,

for £18,000 i'd say its on 45-55,000 miles?

Looks nice dont get me wrong, and i agree the value wont dip much!

 

[Richyy182]

Yeah 50k but I only do about 8k a year if that. I went for it as it's got the keyless entry and leather recaros - think it's Lux 2

I had the clio 8 years and loved every second but time for a change. The noise alone is worth the money

 

[McGherkin]

Awesome car, one of my old bosses had one. They look fantastic in Imperial Blue, much better than that s**t green.

 

[Richyy182]

Blue was the only option for me. I'll get some better pics up next week.

Barpppp barppppp

 

[Pep]

Lovely!
Will miss mine when it goes to be honest, they are an excellent all round car on a dry day!

 

[Krys_23]

Fair play lad, i guarantee you wont be caring about the price with the turning heads!

 

[Slammed172]

Quality car, great colour.

 

[Ad]

I got it for 18k

Good price really considering the spec and with 1k off the screen price. Its the exact spec I am after, just a little too early, though I am going to stretch over the £20k mark for a montune one if I can find one.

 

[Richyy182]

One fella literally leaned out of his puma when it went by and waved! I'll see how it goes - you only live once!

 

[Krys_23]

YOLO

 

[imprezaworks]

Shed.




yeah, right. Fair play mate looks nice

The residuals alone mean the RS is the better buy.

 

[Richyy182]

This man speak sense - I reckon in two or three years they'll still be 13k ish

Yep.. you only need to look at how the RS500 is keeping its price. New RS' will no doubt be starting north of 30k, so ample space in between.

 

[Krys_23]

The residuals alone mean the RS is the better buy.

that age of s3 isn't going to drop any more i would say its the perfect time to get one, whereas.. By the time the rs is payed for ( 4-5 years ) probably 40,000 miles later + wear and tear it'll be worth £12,000 in 2017 ( guesswork )

 

[scott.p]

I'd have take a focus RS over an S3 any day. The Focus looks special whereas the Audi just looks like any other Audi A3.
Look forward to seeing some more pics

 

[wayne9989]

Nice upgrade! My Step Father has one in green on a set of super rare RAYS wheels, in-fact it was featured in one of the ford mags a few months back. What a machine!

 

[Richyy182]

I'll get better pics next week it's getting all cleaned up and paint guarded. I'm so excited, it feels like Christmas when i was 7

I see what you're saying, but lets look at Ford RS cars.

RS turbo, FRS mk1, FRS mk2, RS cosworth.... Be honest, unless you live in a cave 24/7 you'd know that they are better investments than any savings account.

A nice 2002 Audi S3 can be bought for £3-4k. It's at least double that for a tidy mk1 FRS. That's a big difference!

 

[Krys_23]

Very very true, however i'd imagine that audi produced at least twice the amount of s3's as ford did with the rs, in both mk1 & mk2 form, there being an rs will no doubt be rarer than an s3 meaning holding value better.. Like a trophy

plus old shape s3s look super shite i'd rather a renault 5 campus.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Superb.

Dat noise

 

[Joe#]

Ah, so much want!

 

[182Trophy]

Lovely bit of kit mate! There is a green one just down the road from me and even though I'm not a fan of the green paintwork, I still stare at it every time I pass it!

 

[CrippsCorner]

Wrong colour but very cool purchase. Still have so much road presence! Hope you enjoy it

 

[Richyy182]

I love the blue - white and green are both nice but blue seems more subtle

Thanks all - my missus is furious

 

[Richyy182]

What does she know
