The S3 has appeared on ebay twice in the last month and did not even manage to reach £30,000. The car does not really appeal to me and the mileage is higher than what I want. I thought I was about to buy one as I was in talk with Mole Valley about a S4 that was coming in, but the Dealer constantly ignored my request to do a deal on the car, and when I rang them again this morning he told me the car had been sold. When I questioned him further he admitted they had not even taken a deposit on the car. I immediately offered him a deposit - he declined. I think the whole deal was a charade.
I am in no rush, I will wait for the right car to come along at a sensible price, preferably a M4.
