Calvin, have you thought about buying cars from Hong Kong? loads of expats have left and are still leaving, prices are cheap (comapring what you paid for this) and shipping wasn't too bad before Covid, maybe you can find a deal ?
@Calvin'sCarDiary do you want another S-Line Audi A3 2016 65 plate, 84k, Manuel, near mint condition after a valet, 2keys.... needs some screen wash 😆.?
Off topic Calvin , search Chris Harris on the all new lotus Emira , I think he is Will’s long lost twin ?, a striking resemblance, 😂 no a fence just a bit of banter , P.S love your channel
2014 A3 with 7 former keepers, half the car's been repaired and painted and it's from Brum? Calv, I really hope this car isn't as bad as I think it may be.
Crazy! I had one of these and sold it last November for £15k back to Audi who I bought it from for £16k, 2 years prior. 1.4TFSI S-Line, 64 reg, 32k miles!
I'm from bham I don't buy cars from here and I'll bet this car was at some point a runner car, if you know...you know. They may be decent guys but I wouldn't trust cars from here, there's a reason they come up to Milton Keynes to get rid not sell..... As a normal car it's nice tbf and 4.5k is cheap for what it is, and to me thats not high mileage.
Love your enthusiasm and your generosity Calvin nobody on youtube does what you do your planet of dreams is amazing. i love your channel the prize draws are a massive bonus keep up the good work. ps brilliant channel on tiktok as well
I can’t lie, that’s the perfect car for a average Joe. I wish I could buy this off Calv as it’ll be a affordable daily. Fuel efficient, diesel, looks the part, good motorway car.
So they are car traders and they took a car they repaired to “a car buying company” to sell it. It sounds pretty sketchy to me 🤔. Hope I’m wrong Calv, as it’ll be a good buy if so! Did you get any photos of it pre-repair?
From Brummyland too, repaired with 7 former keepers...thats... "no thanks" Car black book values were £6.5k, so car is worth no more than about £3.5k-4k in it's current state. It needs a full body/chassis check, paint work correction & a bloody good service (belts, oil, filters, possibly tyres). It's not a write off, but you know, it could just be more hassle than the car is worth in the long run.
Yeah never trust asians from brum either. They know how to make a quid id offer abit more than we buy any car about 2.5 n thatd be it although its not registered as cat s you know that it is
Had a 66 plate A3 Saloon. Loved it! Only the 1.4tfsi S-Line. Only thing I didn’t like about it was the s-tronic gearbox. Great at first, but soon learnt to dislike some of the things it does. Now back to a manual and loving life again 🤣🤣
Can’t beat a Manual, my dad has been a car trader and mechanic and had his own business 48 years. He never buys automatics. I’ve had 38 cars all Manual, and I’m 37 😂 Manuel is the way
The main thing I would be checking on this car is underneath to make sure there is no underneath apart from that accident car for the money stick a wrap on it and tidy it up and I guarantee you not one person would be able to tell
Absolute spot on choice calv if I won this I'd be over the moon and would keep it for years what more do you need, thanks again my friend, your smashing it!
@@leebenstead7171 depends how the previous owner drove it as if hes giving it everytime he was in it then mpg will be low, however injectors could be the issue of clogged up dpf
Calv der is launch control on them dsg boxed turn traction control off, stop/start off and put into sport mode and push the break peddle hard down floor the throttle and den let go of the break u should get a better time
Just come across this channel and loved the content mate. Only thing if I may say I don't like is cars being wrapped. Just don't appeal to me. Anyway keep up the great work.
I had a A3 2.0 TDI 8V with a factory option paint called Shiraz Red, this colour was amazing popped in the Sun and with a few cosmetic mods in gloss black, it will look amazing 👌
Canary Yellow or maybe a bit more lairy Berry Pearl for colours? Yeah stage 1 on that should help decently with performance I'd imagine. 😂 Definitely looks the part though Calv, modern and just nice car for sure. Look forward to seeing what you do with it either way, and whomever wins will be stoked and lucky!
massivly helps, I have a 2.0 TDI A3 and stock its only 150bhp which was decent considering when I got it I was 19 and it was my first car, a remap and a dpf removal took it to 200bhp, amazing machine
You should try and get a BMW 116d M Sport for Planet of Dreams, Calvin, it's the perfect sort of car for the same money and it will appeal to so many different people.
@@stichupman its slow and everything, and maybe not the MOST luxurious One but fucking hell its reliable and no problems at all, thats why i bought It :D
There's issues with this motor mate as around 4 seconds up from where it should be......reckon you've been taken but hope I'm wrong. That dodgy body repair and paint would have been enough to set my alarms bells off.
In 2011 a best friend who sadly died in a road accident later that year, and I, went to We…….with his bought new FIat Punto T-Jet, same engine as those Abarths. Went like…. Buyer does micrometer test and says this whole rear quarter has been painted, but it is thicker than Fiat paint, so I ain’t….bovvered. He sold to them. A lot of new cars get damaged in transit or in storage. I can remember new reg day one year. I could see half of this metallic red Peugeot had been sprayed, from 50 yards away 😂
Sprint blue or Pearl white for the wrap 🤔 I think it will be a great car for people who struggle with insurance plus the fuel and tax will be cheaper 👍 a service and some of Wills magic and this A3 will be a gem 😁👍
Good valet and detail, service/health check and stage 1 map by will vrs and update the car screen with apple car play / android equivalent and it would be another perfect car for me. Love the content calv as always.

2013, 82k
It will be a great first car. I'll become a dream catcher for that
Lovely car Calvin 👏👏
As for the colour you have done Sprint Blue and Nardo Grey. What about audi s3 vegas yellow ??? Will look amazing once finished!😎
Rule one, never buy a car from Birmingham, rule two if his name is wackass I wouldn’t want to touch a single surface inside that f shack
Good looking car. Would look nice in a nardo grey with dechromed trim.

Looks a nice car for a family
Nardo grey is an amazing colour
deep purple wrapp would look sick
I bought an Audi A3 2.0 tdi manual 2015 last year off an elderly man with 23k. I am keeping it standard though.
Interested to see what you do with this car . I have the exact same one in manual . Same colour but lower mileage .
Thought auto was an option on these?
Have I mentioned do it red just to be different , if it was 3 door I’d do it yellow
Road man😀😀😀 you killed me
Something defenetly not right with ghat caf. Way to cheap. 14 second 0-60 is way too slow. Good luck anyway. Wrapp it blue like an s3
Should be like 8.7 seconds
What was the app used for HPI check?
Liquid yellow
Got a black 2009 a3 sline tdi 170 quatro stage 1 115k miles if ya interested calv 😏 haha 😄
Sportback black edition to wich I forgot to mention there 🤪

Misano Red 👍 😁
7 keepers typical brummy car
1.4 petrol over this one imo
Reds nice

Can't wait for Will to start digging round this car and decide it's totally fucked and unsafe to drive lmao
Lol hopefully it’s not to that extent 😬🤞
I got a feeling thats going to be the case unfortunately
From Birmingham you say 👀🤣
Wouldn't be surprised if you find Will's VRF shop is closed when you take another Audi down to him ;) Great choice Calvin.

Most certainly. I have worked for them and the trusty paint pen will of been out 😂
There car dealers but don't want to sell a £4k car
Cheeky stage 1 map and that will get it up to around 150bhp....with improvements to mpg 👌

S tronic gearbox on 115k is high mileage IMO
114k isn't high for age and nothing for a tronic gearbox it's a diesel not sure where you get your knowledge from

You should wrap it blue but you have just done the a5 blue so maybe the bright green from the rs3 with an ABT body kit
40 bhp more with a remap. Bet flies then. Unless Will says better spending money on injectors or similar.
