The entry

The Audi RS3.

The RS3 uses a turbocharged 2.5-litre five-cylinder engine, a configuration unique to Audi in this class, paired with quattro all-wheel drive, offered in Sportback five-door and saloon body styles.

We review your Audi RS3 on the engineering behind it, its own history and its condition, not against a generic pricing model.

What we look for

What we weigh in an Audi RS3.

Every Audi RS3 is reviewed on the same four things as any other entry in the Index. Gaps are normal; tell us what you have. Neither a modification nor outstanding finance rules a car out on its own.

  • 01

    Documented history: service records and provenance for an Audi RS3, however complete.

  • 02

    Originality and modifications: what has changed, and why.

  • 03

    Condition, honestly described, including anything outstanding.

  • 04

    Paperwork and finance still to sort.

Footnotes

º1Do you buy the Audi RS3?

Yes. The Audi RS3 is on the index of cars we buy directly, filed under Modern Performance & Luxury as entry Nº 156 / 168. Send the registration or the car's details and a specialist reviews it personally.

º2Do you need to see my Audi RS3 before making an offer?

Not for the offer itself. A specialist reviews what you tell us about your Audi RS3 first. Inspection follows once you accept a direct purchase offer, before anything is finalised.

º3How does selling my Audi RS3 to MotorSignet work?

Send the registration or the details of your Audi RS3. A specialist reviews it personally and, if it fits what we buy, makes a direct purchase offer. If you accept, inspection and collection are arranged. Paid in full by bank transfer before your vehicle leaves. We aim to complete within 7 days where checks and paperwork are ready.

º4Do you buy the RS3 saloon as well as the Sportback?

Yes, tell us the body style and specification as part of your submission.

This page describes a type of car we buy and source directly, not a specific example currently held or for sale.
