Been eyeing this 2018 S3 down at the showroom in Deira for a couple weeks now and the price is actually pretty tempting considering the mileage but there's a part of me that's paranoid about how these cars get driven around here you know? The salesman is nice enough but keeps saying it's in "mint condition" and I just keep thinking about potential turbo issues or the Haldex pump maybe never being serviced properly. My cousin had an older A4 and his mechatronic unit failed literally two weeks after he bought it and that bill was eye watering so I'm really trying to avoid that kind of surprise this time. I found a spot online that does an Audi Pre Purchase Inspection Dubai and apparently they know the specific stuff to look for on these German engines like the water pump housing leaks or timing chain stretch noise on cold starts. Has anyone actually gone through this process for a performance Audi specifically, and did the inspection uncover anything that the seller conveniently forgot to mention? I just want to walk into the deal with my eyes wide open instead of relying on a shiny paint job and a clean Carfax report.
Anyone used a garage for checking out a used Audi S3 before buying?
