I have to agree with your comments. Had a long chat with my son over this. The view at his dealership is that they "won't" sell at present, due to the queue of booked test drives, and off the back of that potential sales, and the fact the he alone has orders for 23 RS3's
I guess its different ATM as we are in such disorder with the pandemic, Brexit, supply chain shortages etc. I personally am not stressing about the wait, and if dealers want to sell their LE cars. If folk are mad enough to pay 70k+ then thats their choice. I have a mint MK5 Golf GTi ED30 that is going STG3 Venom 450 Hybrid Turbo in Jan, hence why i'm not stressing about the wait, the dealers and to be honest anything about the New RS3. I've ordered new RS3 mats, Tango Red Vents, R8/TTRS bespoke steering wheel (without buttons) and am collation prices for the mod to seats etc with red stitching. I'm enjoying this forum, and also the journey with the purchase of my RS3.
