nah ... decided against it in the end, but after seeing the B8 RS 4, this RS 3 does look stonking VFM as a brand new car when you think with MRC stage 2 it will be everybit as quick as the B8

They do seam to be holding their price very well, my old one would still list for only a grand less than i paid for it :beerchug:

I think the rarity and the fact that some of the mags and private owners have got them running 4.1 60s on SUL out of the box is helping, sub 4s with stage 1

Blue RS3s are definitely the way forwards, though Sepang Blue is clearly the best option :thumb:

Hi All,

First Post.

Love the colour!

This is my first new car, does everyone get them detailed and sealed?

Also Dave my car should be build week 18, do you know how long they normally take to arrive after the build date?

Thanks

w/c 30th April, BUT, build date is not locked until 2 weeks or less before build, so double check Monday after next. Delivery should be 2-4 weeks, though for standard colour I'd expect to be at the 2 week mark.

My delivery was week 40 after a build week of 37. Hopefully that helps.
