AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
KEY STRENGTHS:
• Quattro all-wheel drive and turbocharged engine
• Regular maintenance with an invoice dossier totaling over €8,500 over the last 15 years
• Recent service performed in July 2026 at 151,000 km (front tires, spark plugs, oil change and new filters)
• Headliner redone in 2022
HISTORY/PRESENTATION:
Marketed in the late 1990s, the first generation Audi S3 (8L) established itself as a benchmark among premium compact sport sedans, combining Quattro all-wheel drive with a powerful turbocharged engine.
The example on offer was purchased by the current owner two years ago. It has benefited from regular maintenance over the years and has always been kept in a closed garage. The latest full service was completed in July 2026 at 151,000 km.
BODY/PAINT:
The black bodywork and paint are well preserved. As visible in the photographs and given its age (26 years), a few micro-scratches are noted on the bumpers.
The car is equipped with its original 17-inch alloy wheels and original xenon headlights.
The front tires were replaced recently during the last service in July 2026.
INTERIOR:
The cabin features a full leather interior in very good condition. The headliner was completely redone by the previous owner in 2022.
Equipment includes:
• Electric and heated front seats
•Automatic climate control
• Electric and folding mirrors
• Electric windows
• Original radio with cassette player and 6-CD changer
MECHANICS:
The turbo engine paired with the all-wheel-drive system starts at the push of a button and runs normally, with no warning lights on the dashboard.
The manual gearbox shifts smoothly. The July 2026 service (at 151,000 km) included replacement of spark plugs, engine oil, all filters, and both front tires (invoice around €900).
DOCUMENTS:
The vehicle is sold with:
• An invoice file of maintenance representing more than €8,500 invested over the last 15 years
• The invoice for the last service in July 2026
• Its two original keys
It is advised to view the vehicle before making an offer to avoid disappointment. To arrange an appointment, please contact Catawiki. On-site pickup is at the buyer’s expense. Transfer of ownership or export fees are also the buyer’s responsibility.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
