This is exactly what I have done - just accepted as 67 plate from £56k car and my 65 plate trade-in just increased by £3.5k.
I’ll be collecting mine from there the day before haha... then an hours drive back to the west coast for me... maybe a detour on the back roads will be in order ha
Where you getting the wrap done at? I want mine done but heard it’s a nightmare getting the shark fin off... involves roof lining etc to come out first to get to the bolts... are you having that wrapped too? or just leaving it body coloured?
Haha, nice. A place called Onyx Automotive in Birmingham mate. Definately having the fin wrapped too, that's what I've asked for anyway. I'll let you know how I get on with it.
Aberdeen Audi have stated on their facebook page this morning that production of the 3 door A3 and S3 has stopped now and the only cars available are already built cars.
I wonder when production of the 5 door Sportback/Saloons A3/S3 and RS3 will cease? I'd imagine this year considering the new A3 model will be released 2019?

Man its really hard to choose what options you want when on a budget. My ideal spec comes in at £53k, with UKCarbroker 6% discount, I'd be looking at £49,800. The biggest discount I've seen on this forum for an RS3 was 10% and that's £47,700. I'm not sure if options increase the GFV so I've used £26k GFV for 36 months that you get from Audi finance calculator. For the money I'd be looking to put in, its either £628 a month with UKCarbroker or if I can manage to get 10% off, £562 a month. Both more than I'm budgeting for. I could get a base spec car without trouble though, after the 6% discount it'd be £43k which is £414 a month. I doubt I could get 10% off a base spec car, if I could it'd be a nice £41.5k, which is £367 a month and similar to my S3 payments. I wouldn't be happy with a base spec car though and I'm finding it hard to cut options. Doesn't help that now you can only get B&O if you get comfort and sound pack for some reason. Having a look on Carwow, every dealer that got back to me is now giving a discount. Whenever I checked before, only a few would give discounts.

Could you go nearly new, ie delivery mileage, and get it within budget? The reason I ask is that there seems to be some great deals out there and with it being February, you'll likely get an even better deal.Man its really hard to choose what options you want when on a budget.

Maybe. But a standard RS3 is also about £8k cheaper than most others. Looking at the used market, the disparity doesn't seem to be that much!Basic RS3 will hurt you eventually as who the hell would buy it 2nd hand?!

Madness. You'll lose that £3.5k come trade in. For the sake of waiting a fortnight by the sounds of it.
Mines now on a boat,finally
Mines been on the boat since Friday... seems it’s being treated to a round the world trip

I'll have a look. My current car was a nearly new one too but that time it was me being impatient. Now I got over a year left of the S3 and not in a rush to get the RS3. I wonder what APR % they give on those nearly new or demo cars. My S3 was 5.9% APR which was lower than others on this forum mentioned for nearly new/demo cars. Another thing is, the cars might not have the specific options I'm looking for, so I'll have to look hard for the right one. £786pm that Spinstorm is paying is too much for me, I was hoping for something around the £400-450 mark, the lower the better.
Sounds like you're having some real bad luck
From when I ordered mine until I had a call saying it had arrived I didn't even seek out any information as to its whereabouts, nor have a log in for an Audi account etc.
I had a general catch up/courtesy call from the dealer late Dec saying it was build week 3 (15th Jan onwards) but then had a call from him on the 19th saying "Transporter just turned up with an RS3 on it...."
Maybe it's true when they say a watched pot never boils fella......
I can't wait for your car to turn up, I can only guess how your dealer feels!I’m sure if I didn’t want it this week then I would be oblivious and it would just turn up.
No way your car was built on the 15th and arrived on the 19th. The build week must have moved forward a good few weeks!
The dealer told me it will arrive Thursday. I’m just cynical that the information is correct as the tracker hasn’t changed. Because the dealer is one hour away it may not change until after I’ve collected the car anyway. They could pick it up Thursday morning and deliver it the same morning potentially.
I’m going to fire off an email tomorrow to see if it’s still looking like it will arrive on Thursday. I hope it does so I can collect either that day or Friday!
