********* Overview *********
Up for sale is a fully optioned, single-owner 2016 Audi S3 Sedan in the highly sought-after Monsoon Grey Metallic. In the current market, this is one of the lowest-kilometre, most highly optioned examples available in Australia. As a maintenance engineer, my approach to owning and maintaining this vehicle has been intentionally meticulous from day one. It has spent the last few years garaged full-time under a premium dust cover, connected to a battery tender, and driven strictly to ensure it stays in peak operational condition.
The car has been kept completely immaculate, to the point where visitors frequently comment that it still retains its original new-car smell.
********* Factory Packages & Options *********
This vehicle was heavily optioned straight from Audi with the most desirable factory configurations:
S Performance Package 1: Diamond-stitched fine Nappa leather sports seats, premium 705W 14-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system, and red brake calipers.
Technic Package: Upgraded LED headlights, advanced driver assistance features, and navigation layout.
Panoramic Glass Sunroof.
********* Meticulous Care & Maintenance *********
Paint & Exterior: Professional ceramic coating applied immediately upon delivery and maintained meticulously with an annual master detail. The car is washed strictly using the premium "three-bucket method." High-quality window tinting is applied throughout.
Interior Care: The interior condition is faultless. Shoes are routinely removed when driving to avoid any wear to the floor mats. The passenger footwell has featured a protective rubber floor mat over the genuine mat since new, and the boot carpet is protected by a heavy-duty rug.
Tech & Security: Equipped with a Thinkware front and rear dashcam system.
Servicing: Complete, fully signed factory logbook and two keys. Recent maintenance trusted exclusively to the specialist team at Newcastle VW Centre in Wickham.
Water Pump Addressed: The factory water pump issue was addressed late last year with a genuine, latest-revision assembly (Part No. 06L121111P) for long-term reliability.
Electrical: The car is currently on its second battery, maintained via a garage tender.
Prepaid Service Bonus: Includes a prepaid minor service for early 2027 at Audi Mosman. For the right sale price I am happy to perform this service early as part of a pre-purchase inspection for the buyer's peace of mind.
********* Technical Specifications & Safety *********
Powered by a 210.0kW 2.0-litre turbocharged engine, this S3 offers a perfect blend of performance and luxury.
Safety Features: 7 airbags (including driver’s knee airbag), 5-star ANCAP rating, front and rear parking sensors, rear-view camera, brake assist, ABS, and park assist.
Standard & Luxury Features: Satellite navigation (GPS), voice recognition, rain-sensing wipers, dual-zone climate control, keyless start, 19" alloy wheels, heated front seats, cruise control, and electric power-assisted steering.
Tyres: Currently fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres with excellent tread depth.
********* Condition Notes & Transparency *********
To save time, I want to be entirely transparent about the car's exact condition:
Standard minor stone chips on the front bar from highway driving.
A minor scrape on the passenger-side underside of the front bumper lip (not visible unless looking from directly underneath).
A small surface scratch inside one of the rings of the rear Audi badge.
