What a Bargain , I can’t understand why everyone’s not buying a smashed up car and repairing it in their shed , spending on average of 60 hrs of their spare time ,loads of stress to save about £1000 if your lucky. I think that’s why I gave up repairing damaged cars several years Ago 🤔 , still it gives me something to watch when I’ve run out of things to do👍
Cars For Paul , I’m sure you will have people queuing up round the block to hand you over 15k + of their hard earned cash after watching All your Vlogs
I remember the black one coming up. I avoided it because of the engine damage, you just know for cat n title with such minor body damage it meant engine bad from sump impact
If I have a damaged s3 saloon (front end) would it be possible to use a hatchback s3 for parts or are there slight differences in dimensions? Many thanks
You would of been alot better off with the black one of copart As you have repaired the car on RUclips so the damage has been seen Your car is as good as a category it's had an accident a bad one regardless of insurance categorisation Just saying that black one is the same age which ever way you want to look at it
Paul, when you start modding the car start with uprating the brakes. Seems all the cars are stuffed in the front end lol Just binge watched all the S3 vids :-)
Thanks for sharing 👍 This is something I could never do, so hats off to you. I do think that you could have bought a non damaged car for the same money as you have spent on this project. But think of the RUclips revenue and experience you have gained 👍😃😃
You think this cost @£10k to do? I suspect not, but it will be interesting to see. What is going to be even more interesting is to see how many cars get returned or repossessed if buyers have over-extended themselves on finance if the 'stay at home' during the virus policy runs for long. This could have an effect on use car values, especially the more expensive 'exotics' as people with reduced finances look for cheaper cars to run in the future..... Alternately we come out of this and want to do everything we've been putting off and demand for the more exotic rises...... Who knows?
It all depends on how long this period of lock down lasts and how generous the car finance banks feel but I think there will be alot of repo cars on the market and that will have an affect on salvage prices. There is already a downturn on people buying from Copart so cars will have to go cheaper at some point.
ASM are part of a consortium of salvage yard that use a auction software solution similar to ebay and the difference is that they are generally cheaper than copart.
Hi paul salvage prices are getting ridiculous how do some of you make a living ? Audi S3 trade around 16-17k on 66-17 plates mileage 30-50k at Bca auctions where the profit ?
The s3 8v 2014 to 2016 is 296bhp which is 300hp Your s3 8v gen2 2016 to 2018 is 306bhp which is 310hp Your s3 8v gen2 2019 is 296bhp which is 300hp, odd I know The s3 is a great daily driver in all weather. Prefer the rs3 though which is so much better albeit alot more expensive. Those led lights were an optional extra on gen1 a3, weren't cheap ...on a standard a3 they were £2000 and s3 they were £795.
Watched every single episode on project s3 i love this channel been here since around mid 2019
Good update and in these lockdown times its appreciated youre still loading up content Paul 👍
Hi Paul, Thanks for posting in these hard times, keep safe
Hi Paul,great video,the pictures of the S3s on your laptop look alright at first glance but need work,yours is looking smart.top work.
Very good buy. Ive just done a clean 64 plate 1 owner A3 8v S Line with minor rear damage. I saw your S3 on ASM recently
Nice one
Nice update Paul.
Thank you
Very interesting content Paul, thank you 👍
The costs might be a lot but for a daily driver, it's a head turner, and too much heat
It's going to look mint

Actually, currently on target to save around £4k

It’s not that simple, sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you don’t.
I remember the black one coming up. I avoided it because of the engine damage, you just know for cat n title with such minor body damage it meant engine bad from sump impact
I think you might be right there
If I have a damaged s3 saloon (front end) would it be possible to use a hatchback s3 for parts or are there slight differences in dimensions?
Many thanks
You would of been alot better off with the black one of copart
As you have repaired the car on RUclips so the damage has been seen
Your car is as good as a category it's had an accident a bad one regardless of insurance categorisation

Always worth shopping around
Paul your new upload does not work it says “this video is private”
Fixed now
nice up date paul . stay safe
Thought your idea was to keep this after repairing it?
Oh I am, this one will be around for a few years
@@CarsForPaul yh, this is definitely a dream build video
Props for getting the s3
What's ASM and what's the difference between copart and ASM
ASM are part of a consortium of salvage yard that use a auction software solution similar to ebay and the difference is that they are generally cheaper than copart.
Good video paul thanks pal.
You are welcome
Hi paul salvage prices are getting ridiculous how do some of you make a living ? Audi S3 trade around 16-17k on 66-17 plates mileage 30-50k at Bca auctions where the profit ?
Your BCA figures are way off 66 17 plate S3 you are not winning them for 16 17k your lying
Hi Paul, how can you see how much a car sold for if it was on your watch list and you missed it? on copart
if you use autoauction.io you can
The s3 8v 2014 to 2016 is 296bhp which is 300hp
Your s3 8v gen2 2016 to 2018 is 306bhp which is 310hp
Your s3 8v gen2 2019 is 296bhp which is 300hp, odd I know
The s3 is a great daily driver in all weather. Prefer the rs3 though which is so much better albeit alot more expensive.
Those led lights were an optional extra on gen1 a3, weren't cheap ...on a standard a3 they were £2000 and s3 they were £795.
nice one . stay safe mate
If the car doesn’t have a v5 do you request one from dvla or do you sell it without ?
I get one from DVLA, its difficult to sell a car without one
Let's put it simply paul,you nailed it !
Worth 20k when finished
yep
all the EA888 engines in s3 cupra and r, would make no difference in tuning mate
CAN SELL FOR FULL MARKET PRICE BRO THEN GET THE R8
What’s ASM as I’m new to your channel
It's a salvage car selling or auction, something like that
Salvage market, its a collection of salvage yards that sell salvage vehicles up & down the country
keith hall which web address is it please?
@@mustafaeskisan2723 salvagemarket.co.uk
keith hall thanks
Price of any salvage vehicles these are stupidly high.
coming down at the moment
The price of cars on the forecourts are coming down too.
Thats not your ip address paul if it is hide it
No its not, dont worry
You've done really well price wise and condition,category and a lot more ,that black Audi said Arnold Clarke on the back ,isn't that a hire company ?
ashley kipps they sell new and used cars they also rent cars. But with it being a 16 plate most likely a used car that was sold by ac
Yeah ,your right,just looked it up thanks for that 😊
ashley kipps I work for them that’s how I know
👍
Pointless, car is only worth what someone will pay.
