    Putting the feelers out... Selling the S2.

    Hi All,

    I'm thinking of selling my trusty S2.

    I've enjoyed it immensely over the past 4 and a half years but I think it's now time for someone else to enjoy it.

    The car is very well known amongst members on this forum and was owned by dan_b before me. The car has truely never wanted for anything and has had an absolute fortune thrown at it since I've owned it.

    The spec is as follows:

    1991 3B
    163k miles
    Laser Red
    Black Leather Interior which is in great condition
    Air-conditioning
    MTM Stage 1 ECU
    Samco boost hoses
    Full s/s scorpion exhaust
    Brakes:
    Front:- Porsche 968 4-pots, 304x30 cut-down A8 discs, Ferodo DS2500 pads.
    Rear:- disc/calipers standard, EBC Greens at the back
    H&R Springs + Koni Dampers, lowered.
    RS2 FARB, Whiteline RARB
    17" Porsche Cup Alloys
    Short shift kit
    HID Light upgrade
    RS2 Maf
    RS2 Airbox
    Combination of 3B, ABY and ADU airguides to maintain sufficient air supply.

    The S2 has been tested on an extremely reliable rolling road where by it made 270bhp and 320 ft-lbs of torque which means it goes like a stabbed rat when you put your foot down as I'm sure Newsh will attest to.

    The interior is in great condition and very clean. I certainly don't feel as though it makes the car feel old or tatty inside. Infact, no passenger every believes me when I tell them it's a 20 year old car!

    The exterior is in great condition. The paint is not scratched, there are no dents but there are some stonechips on the front of the car as it does get driven on the motorway and to a lesser extent gets taken on the odd B road run to clear the cobwebs a little. The wheels could do with a refurb but I plan to do this anyway.

    It's always been well serviced (every 4k - 5k miles) by either myself when I have the time or a local and trusted Audi Garage.

    I know I shouldn't be selling this car and I know that if I do sell it I will be kicking myself but I need a newer and bigger 4 door car for work.

    *sigh*

    I've no real idea of price but £3750 seems fair when you factor in the age and condition of the car. I will obviously consider sensible offers.

    I'll be servicing it this coming weekend (3,500 miles since the last service) should I feel up to it and by then I will have made a concrete decision on what I'm going to do. If I decide to sell it, I'll pop some photos up to do the car some justice.

        Sadly not.

        I think I'll be looking towards a BMW 540i of some sort.

        David, no I've not spoken to Dan yet. I've had very mixed thoughts about even posting this but after careful consideration I decided that it's probably for the best.

        I would certainly consider owning an I5 Turbo again!

          you gotta do what you gotta do. Its a very nice car and spec (not seen it since the Sunday Service at Virginia Water a while back) but always was a nice example IMO

          Good luck

                        Has to be said this must be one of the nicest 3Bs out there, well looked after and goes as it should.

                          Thanks Newsh. I've certainly tried my best to keep it in tip top shape.

                          I've had a night to sleep on it and I've decided that I will be selling it. Due to various health issues I won't be able to service it myself so I'll be having the car serviced by a local and trusted garage and will have any niggles rectified should they find any. This means that I'll be looking to sell it in late March or very early April as the garage is very busy but certainly worth the wait.

                          on_the_look_out, I'll message you when the car is up for sale if you'll still be interested by then?

                          I'll post a proper advert up or modify this thread. (Whichever is easiest, mods?)
