I'm not sure who told him that every dealership only gets one RS3. I believe that the dealerships around here have at least gotten 2 or more each. I say 2 or more, because that's what I see on the dealership searches, not sure if the list ones that are presold already or not.

By the time you add the fancy warranty and tax, title and lic. fees ; He probably paid almost $21,000 for it. So he wants a couple of grand profit. He is aggressive but I am sure their is one butt out there for that cars seat.

It needs rims though.

The dealership closest to me isn't even getting one! But that's because they are jerks and have a crappy sales department. The dealers with the most sales get allocated the RS cars.

I hate you Man...why didn't you have this for sale earlier, when I was looking. Turbocharged, audio, rims, the list goes on and on. I think that's a hella deal. Good luck with the sale..don't think it should be too hard to sell.

I love the fine print of this xb for sale
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...romZR40QQfviZ1

QUIRKS (small print)- When running the 20" wheels they rub when turning full right or left, stock wheels work just fine! one of the neon lights under the vehicle is bad, I have the replacement for it. slight exhaust leak coming from turbo outlet. sometimes you have to reset overdrive button. because of the aftermarket fuel management system the traction control and ABS lights remain on. the speakers make a "pop" sound when you make selections on the stereo and the stereo stops after you jam for 10 mins or so, believe this is wiring related problem just haven't looked into it. Oil pressure and water temp gauges are installed and routed into the engine compartment, just haven't hooked them up yet. Front plate in first picture is not included. I will attempt to remedy any of these that I can before delivery.

Well, better to be honest and know then have to find out yourself like I had to!

BWT, all gauges are hooked up and operational.

Replaced the neon light under the car.

Found out that the amps are always on. Not hooked up to the stereo's remote power lead. This explains why there's a popping sound when the stereo is turned on. Just don't think I wanta tear out the dash and try to figure it out.

There is ALOT of moving crap on that page. Looks like a testament to one of the first websites- you know the ones that had so many moving images they made people sick?

All I can say to him is "Good Luck With That" What a Loser
Heck it's now used plus it's an auto. He'll be lucky to break even if it does sell at all.

I was quoted for the RS3 for a lil bit over 16k. This guy is trying to make like 7k+, what a moron, he should get a negative feedback for posting that up.
