hi there !
I've found this a2.
Its a 2002 model, 1.6 fsi,
208000 kilometers
real s-line (sport version in france with lower car, 17" alloy wheel and other minor changes) ?
black
read leather sports seats
17" alloy wheels
dead opensky
check engine lights but the car runs fine.
the timing belt was already done this year.
the equivalent of the mot in france is ok.
the seller is asking 1700 euros.
What do you think about it ?
here is some pictures :

Hey there, In case the two previous comments weren’t clear, it doesn’t seem to be very well maintained - signs are the home-made fixes to the headliner and the drivers seat and a slightly scruffy looking exterior.

These ‘fixes’ are not a good sign considering something far more serious being the engine management light being on. Just because it seems to drive fine, does not mean there is something seriously wrong currently going on.

The 1.6 FSI is known as the most ‘troublesome’ of the engines available, so if you are set on that engine, you really must look for a well serviced and well cared for example.

Finally - the real European S-Line cars had a black headliner installed, which this one doesn’t, so yet another sign the seller does not seem very trustworthy.

In Summary : it’s probably best to forget about this car and look for a better example . You may have to spend more money for the initial purchase, but you will save money, time, worry and hassle in the long run.

Best of luck,

Stuart

The S-line was actually offered in two versions, S-line and S-line Plus. Only the Plus had a black headliner.
This car might well be a true S-line car without having a black headliner.
 
It does look very unloved. I'd not go further without seeing a full scan. Engine light could be many things, most of which will not be cheap to fix. I love FSIs, but some head over heart is required.
Mac.

The price drop every day.

It is a mess !
It is very difficult to find a good car not speaking about price but availability.
