I had a friend who bought an A4 1.8 with 120,000 miles on the clock and it runs really well. It cost him much less than £1000 and repairs so far only come to £300.

I'd rather a low mileage old car than a high mileage newer one myself. The A3's are in strong demand so the prices are pretty high. The A4 however is an executive car and lets face it the execs do not want to be driving around in older cars.

The A4 is better value for money but the A3 is marginally better at handling and performance.

Thankfully the build quality on Audis is brilliant and as long as it has been regulalrly serviced (OIL CHANGES ARE ESSENTIAL) you will not have a problem.
