Default Audi s3

Hi just seeing if anyone can help, my gf is now thinking of selling her saff cossie to get a audi s3, now shes found one she likes, one owner from new 74k on the clock on a 02 plate for £8250

Would this car be hit by the new tax system ie £400 a year and what common faults are there with the audi s3 ?

Cheers for any help

my bro has a 1999 S3, goes like fuck mate, pretty sure its had a remap tho, beaware, at 90k they need a cambelt, and its pricey.

Also, if it has the nice blue lights, one bulb just cost him £130 for the bulb!!!!!

Not sure of the tax bracket, but I know the door mirrors are a common target.
