211,000kms, 5spd, All options except leather seats, Has heated seats and sunroof, winterbra is currently on the car, get an average of 800-1000km on a tank. Great driver, fun to drive, has performance chip in it currently and can be sold with the vehicle if the buyer likes it. I am willing to do part trade for a 93 or newer ford ranger 4x4 or toyota.

The bad:
1.ignition switch needs replacing i have the parts, just need sometime to replace,
2. door handle freezes up when in cold weather, (lock deicer doesnt work)

other than that it needs nothing, i had a recent oil change done. feel free to message me or post below,

all a3's have that frozen door lock problem

take the tumbler out and dip it in glycol, use a spray bottle to spray some glycol on the remaining parts in the door

i do this once a year, and it hasnt frozen yet!

oh, also spray some good silicone spray on the door frame and rubber seals... they will sometimes freeze too, making you think the lock is frozen...
