2004 Audi A3 3.2 Quattro

Regretfully selling my very much loved A3 3.2 Quattro. In launch spec Mauritius blue pearl over Vienna light grey leather; sold new to Japan and imported in 2015. I am the 4th owner, had the car for 8years (53kkms) and thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful mad little car.

It's been annually serviced & mechanically taken care of ($30k+ receipts). I’ve replaced many major components preventatively. But the car does show wear & tear in several areas. It was always my intention to cosmetically refresh the car and bring it up to the standard it deserves, but unfortunately my circumstances have changed, and I now need to part with it. Full NZ service history will come with the car.

A3 3.2s are a true hidden gem in the world of enthusiast cars. MK5 R32s get all the attention, however the A3 3.2 uses the same platform, engine, gearbox & driveline. Only real difference is steering & suspension tuning, with the Audi being more road/GT biased. Essentially, it’s a MK5 R32 Q-car/sleeper with a higher trim interior. It was the most expensive & fastest hatchback in the world when new. Peak Piëch era VAG.

The 3.2 VR6 is smooth, torquey & sounds utterly unbelievable. One of the very best sounding cars for any budget imo. If you’re after the VR6 modern-classic experience in a small & understated package, flick me a message to come see it. Car is located in Parnell.
