The Audi A3 is available for sale in South Africa in a number of trim-levels and body-types: Cabriolet, Sportback and Sedan. Starting from R65 000 for an older model up to R600 000+ for a more current spec’; prices for a used Audi A3 for sale are dependent on year of manufacture, mileage, service history and vehicle spec. Also note that the A3 Sedan is always going to be slightly more expensive than a comparable hatch version.
From a general point-of-view the A3 is an extremely reliable vehicle – just remember Audi is owned by Volkswagen. Market research surveys rate the Audi A3 in the top five most reliable vehicles in South Africa – the survey also included owners who bought a used Audi A3. Generally, the reliability of an Audi A3 for sale on our site can be measured by how well the vehicle has been maintained, full-service-history, engine mileage and overall wear-and-tear on the vehicle. Particularly the gearbox on the much older A3 automatic models - they have been known to give problems and the roof-top open/close mechanism on the older A3 Cabriolet as well.
Audi is a high-end vehicle brand – and yes it can be expensive on maintenance but not at an unreasonable cost. An Audi A3 Cabriolet for sale may present a problem that at some point the roof-top's electric open-and-close function might develop an eletrical fault - regardless of quality - this is the result of daily wear-and-tear. Therefore, if you buy a much older Audi A3, make sure you budget for regular services and have a small savings to cover the cost of any other major repairs.
With little concern over reliability and general maintenance – a second-hand Audi A3 is a brilliant used car to buy. An Audi A3 Sedan for sale offers the convenience of both extra boot-space and legroom in the rear.
