2024 Turbo Blue RS3 (8Y) 6400 miles in Tucson, AZ

[S3DUDE]

I am putting my car for sale and I will give you a couple of options as far is purchasing it. I have a free and clear title on the car and I will be offering this car either as is with great bolt ons or as nearly as stock. This car is in great condition as it spent 95% of its time in the garage and it has only 6400 miles. It is a Turbo Blue model with the technology package, the rear traffic alert and the sport exhaust as options (from factory).

Last year I paid a specialized VW/Audi shop to do the following:

1) Install brand new KW V3 coilover kit (two way adjustable) and brand new cancellers specific for this 8Y
2) Rear Neuspeed sway bar
3) front and rear I sweep pads
4) Did a car alignment

I also have Unitronic mid pipes installed and I also purchased recently a brand new set of Apex forged wheels Brushed aluminum VS-5RS (staggered) with new Bridgestone Potenzas RE71RS (275 and 255). It has been 7 years of owning Audis RS3 and they are wonderful, this is my third RS3, I will still keep my Kyalami green RS3. I don't drive much anymore and I am looking at downsizing. At the current market I want to be transparent with you, I am not selling to make a profit and I am not worry about the tariff, low inventory or market fluctuation, I am guiding my price based on popular websites like KBB, Edmunds and also comparing it with car gurus, carman and whatever is out there comparable but I haven't put a final price yet as I am testing the waters.

If you like my car and have the money and want to buy it then contact me and we can discuss a price with the current mods or as stock as possible, by the way, I do have every single receipt for everything. I am not interested on trades at all.

Price to sell $64,500 and you keep the Unitronic test pipes, the fresh brake pads (I sweep 3000 and I sweep 2500), fresh Neuspeed brake lines. If you want the KW V3 suspension, the rear Neuspeed Sway bar and the Apex VS-5RS wheels it will be more. As of today (June 16th 2025) there are only 4 used RS3 8Ys (combined) for sale on Cargurus and Carmax in the entire country (two of each.)

DAYUM! If I had $70K and I wasn't 3000 miles away I'd be at your door right now. Specced out exactly how I'd do it

My son actually created a list of every mod that I put on this car brand new and it came out to $9600 in add ons and that is not including the labor. I also have $4,600 on factory options so to duplicate this car you are talking into $80K but I am not asking near that. I am a very reasonable guy, I already looked at the KBB and like I said, I am being transparent so the same references that I use anyone can use.

Did I miss the price?

Did I miss the price?

No sir.. not yet. Good question, I was just testing the waters. KBB Very Good condition calls for $61,600 and excellent condition calls for $65,500. I am leaving the Unitronic test pipes, the fresh castrol brake fluid and the fresh Isweep 3000, the Isweep 2500 (rear pads) , Neuspeed brake lines as well so I was going to let it go for $64500. I saw a 2024 turbo Blue on a nearby city (Phoenix) asking for $72,000 with 13k miles. I haven't advertised it much because I don't want people with no money and financing ready contacting me. Just had a person contacting me for a test drive, he was interested but as I suspected he never contacted me after the test drive despite asking him to let me know whether he wanted it or not and that is why for the last 18 year or so I have been just trading cars into the dealership. No hassle and I get either a check or a new car.

As of today (June 16th 2025) there are only 4 used RS3 8Ys (combined) for sale on Cargurus and Carmax in the entire country (two of each.)

Visor.vin gives a better picture but your price is not bad at all. For reference, I got my ‘24 w/ 400 miles at CarMax for $64k back in March.

You forgot to mention there are NO current Turbo Blue RS3's for sale on any of the platforms. (At least that I saw) Very nice and nice mods as well.

Thanks for the tip. This is not even the actual car that I ordered in the first place, it suppose to have the red stitching.. but like you said, they stopped production on November 26th 2023 and I was already waiting for 14 month since I placed the order so the dealership somehow scramble to acquire a Turbo blue from somewhere in the country with similar options otherwise my original built was not going to be fulfill. I was lined up for a Python Yellow but the Audi Dealer found me this car which is almost what I wanted. I am very aware that there are a hand full of Turbo Blues ever built, like 52 I think.

Why is that? Turbo Blue to me was the best color Audi ever put out. (Other than Merlin Purple of course) Granted I am not the majority and only one person. I tried to find a Turbo Blue S4 when I was looking for my S4 but stopped as they were all outrageously priced. I ended up with Quantum Gray in the end. Another color that only lasted a few years actually only 2 years I believe. Had kind of a Green hue to it in the sun.

The RS3 I am looking at is Python Yellow which I had never really considered up until I saw the ad. If I didn't need to trade in my vehicle due to negative equity I would have made the trip to AZ for this one. Nice example and the chance to drive this in the mountains down there would be a sublime opportunity that I have always wanted to do. But living in Minnesota makes that difficult.
