Used Car Of The Day: 2008 Audi A3
Today we present you this 2008 Audi A3.
This front-drive has the six-speed manual transmission and the 2.0-liter turbo underhood.
The seller says it runs and drives well but it also "needs a little attention." The brakes have been replaced recently.
Among the things it needs: The A/C doesn't blow cold, there's some rust, the interior has some broken pieces, a few recalls need to be done, the state inspection needs to be done, it needs a wheel bearing, and it burns a little oil.
The seller will throw in some H&R lowering springs and other suspension parts.
If you're looking for a value buy that needs a little work, you can find this one for sale in the Garden State of New Jersey for $2,500. Click here for more.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

I had a 2007 A3 manual and loved it. But this thing is a low spec car, and needs work. But really for $2500 you can't get much these days.
I guess, in today's money, the going rate for a beater is $2500
This is the car you park at the train station and you don't get too upset when it gets stolen.
