Yes, its another sepang blue S3 saloon!
Told you you would all laugh lol
I was supposed to be buying a low mileage 12 month old BMW 335d coupe fully loaded off my brother in law. He assured me he would sell it to me. So I cancelled by S3 order & yes you guessed it, he pulls the plug on our deal, the bastid!
A BMW you say? I'm not a BM fan TBH (my choice) but at the price, I would have been crazy. But hey ho ...
Anyway he's suitably compensated me for my 'loss' lol
So after looking at loads of cars including the new RS3 and the RS4 and lease deals on the Golf R and 335d BM's, I kept coming back to the S3 saloon.
The wife has her eye on the new F56 MINI JCW, so that kinda puts the RS3 and RS4 out the game. Lease deals? Not for me as I want to keep my car for around 5 years
So did the usual brokers price searcher again & surprisingly carwow were the cheapest this time. Went to my local Dealership see if they could price match my best deal. Surprise surprise they got within 1% of my best deal this time! Last time they were over £2k out!
In the end I got a better deal that the first deal. More discount, less overall deposit, more option's for the same monthly's. The bonus out of all this is my local Audi dealer where I ordered from, is a 20 minute walk from me and not a 6 hour round trip
No build week yet, but looking like May/June delivery
Am I disappointed I didn't get the first one, yes, but hey, life's to short to worry about it IMHO
Told you all you would have a good laugh!
