I've finally decided to part with my A3 after 5 years and figured I'd cross-post my Facebook post to see if there is any interest here. I've decided to upgrade to something faster with more headroom as I feel that around 400hp is the sweet spot on these motors and going past that results in diminishing returns and headaches. Yes, I've tracked the car a few times but I've been pretty anal about maintenance and oil changes and the car runs great. The exterior isn't showroom by any stretch, 80k miles have put dings and chips over it despite my best efforts. I learned a ton from this forum this is one of the best car communities I've been a part of.

Issues/Damage
The front driver door was hit and replaced around 45k
The rear bumper was damaged in a parking lot hit and run, removed and inspected no damage underneath but the clear coat is spiderwebbed
Shopping cart dent in the rear passenger door
Paint chips around the driver's rear wheel well
Some small dings/chips around the car
The Interior chrome trim around the shifter has been bubbled since I bought it at 30k, no idea how it happened but it hasn't changed in 5 years
Occasionally when the interior is cold it will flash a gear shifter error and then instantly disappear. Been doing it since 30k, I suspect the
previous owner spilled something around the shifter. Has not impacted anything in the 5 years i've owned it, and the dealership couldn't seem to reproduce it.
The rear exhaust hanger for the muffler needs to be adjusted/replaced, it will squeak during low speed driving over bumps.
