I thought the 'coming home' thing was the facility to have the lights stay on while you get to the front door...no?

...TBH, I was slightly concerned with all these coking-up, DRC and dodgy clutch problems, and I was going to put a deposit down for a new C63AMG or the new E class..
Thankfully whilst I was at the Merc dealer this afternoon after test drove the 350CDI(it was fast, real fast!!), a C63 owner turned up at the dealership, and I got to talk to the owner and then ask for a ride(Cheeky, I know),it sounded wonderful, and fast, but not that fast to justify another £15k.
So I went back to the Audi dealer and screwed him for an extended Audi Warranty, road tax plus discount :wink:

Now..where can I buy a cheap GMG zorst :D

Extended warranty? Yours is valid till sept 2010 anyway?
Did you get another yr on top? If so well done that's a grand saved..

excellent stuff.

Tech pack is (6 disc changer, Adaptive lights and SAT NAV) I believe,
Home link is the garage door opener and is /should be located on your sun visor
Day time running lights are like side lights but your tail lights and interior dimmers wont be active.

Bravo mate and the right choice, you've saved £15k, got a two year warranty and a better car than the Merc.
Guy I know moved from the RS4 to a C63 and whilst he loves the Merc he says it is not as usable as the RS and he wishes he had kept it :wink:

GUys...I was led to believed the Rs4 I bought was a 1 owner car, now they told me it was in fact a 2owner car. I asked for a further discount, and they refused.

With great disappointment and a slight anger, I cancelled it, have I done the right thing, or should I buy it anyway?

Your opinions would be greatly appreciated....

Only you can answer this one. How much do you like the car? is it perfect for you in every other way? Are there other cars you have seen that you could buy instead? If there isn't anything else out there that ticks the right box's you may be cutting your nose to spite your face!

Maybe have another chat with them and see if you can come to an agreement, free service or something to help seal the deal.

Good luck.
Current car..... hmmmmm????
