Car Details I'm selling my 2016 Premium Plus Audi S3 in Monsoon Gray. I’m not sure what color gray a monsoon is, but this dark gray metallic is very attractive. I had all of the aluminum trim wrapped in gloss black vinyl by a reputable local shop, including the mirrors, and had an RS-style black grille installed by a body shop here in town. The S3 has 300 horsepower (2.0l four-cylinder) from the factory. I’ve had that tuned to roughly 400, making the car hugely fun on country roads. The car has a “Stage 2” ECU tune (and Stage 2 transmission tune) from Eurodyne, a reputable performance shop (info here: http://www.eurodyne.ca/shop/audi/mqbs3/). It adds 96 hp and 123 Ft lbs of torque on 91 octane.It has an emissions-friendly Neuspeed high-flow downpipe with catalytic converter and custom dark gray exhaust tips,CARB-certified Neuspeed intake (sticker on front cowl under the hood) withNeuspeed intercooler charge piping to decrease spool time,and a GFB diverter valve.Mileage on the highway is a reasonable 28 mpg and it’s an easy drive in rush hour. The S3 has an automatic manual dual-clutch gearbox. It can either be set to drive (auto), sport (auto), or full manual (with paddle shifting). I am including the ECU tuning cable which is linked to my VIN. You can downgrade the tune or remove it entirely and set the car back to stock, if you see fit. This will require a Windows laptop with USB connection. I’ve also upgraded the suspension:034 Motorsports anti-roll bar034 Motorsports bar end linksEMD Auto sport springs (roughly a 0.75" drop, very tasteful and subtle, and make for a factory ride on comfort)Wheels have been upgraded to VMR flow-forged V710s in 19x8.5s, in matte gray, and the Firestone performance tires (19/35/235s) were replaced six months ago. I just had the wheels refinished and balanced. Comes with wheel locks. The car has never been tracked or launched at high RPMs. All modifications can be reversed should you see fit. I will also include the factory intake if you want it. It has ~47,300 miles, mostly gained from road trips. All routine service has been performed by an Audi dealer and carries the factory powertrain warranty to 50k miles. It’s a truly wonderful car in great shape. No mechanical issues. Doesn't burn oil. No leaks. Carpet is in very good condition, as is the leather, which has a few creases and other normal wear. A few very minor scuffs and rock chips on the front bumper. I'll even include touch up paint. The huge panoramic sunroof, four doors, capable backseat, Bang and Olufsen audio, and comfortable sport seats make spending time on the road enjoyable. And dare I say a little practical? Also: mountain drives are really, spectacularly fun. Kelley Blue Book puts it at about 28-30k private party in very good condition, and I’ve done about $4000 worth of upgrades. It’s a hell of a value considering the performance. Seriously, it does about 3.8 seconds to 60mph. I recently purchased another car and while I'm sad, I have to part with the S3.
