Cancelled Order

Post by Chris G » Wed Jan 30, 2013 6:33 pm

After a great deal of thought I've decided to cancel my RS4 order. The car was physically built and at the docks for shipping to the UK but I've decided to pull out. Couple of reasons, our X5 is only just turned 2 years old and although I change my cars a lot, I just couldn't see the RS4 as being £30k better. The X5 really is a great car.
Over an above that, it looks like I'll be changing jobs which will involve a lot more commuting so the RS4 wouldn't be the right car.

So, if anyone is looking for a reasonable spec'd Sepang with sport pack etc give Aberdeen Audi a call.

In the interim, I've treated myself to this...

Oh the RS is worth £40k (in my case) more than the X5!

Ha just kidding.

I think it would be worth the extra if I was 'done' with the X5, which I guess I'm not.

Enjoying yours?

After 4.5 years I was 'done' with the X5!

Yes very much so

Everybody raves about that Spyder so that will keep you happy and give you a new car feeling.

How was the dealer with the cancelled order?

Dealer was fine tbh, I'm sure there will be plenty takers for the car up here in Aberdeen.

Spyder is really good. Having had a Caterham, Elise and 997 in the past, the Spyder is a nice mix of them all.

Very true, should have fun in that. Will you track it?

Was the caterham a R400 by chance!?

Spyder is a great car - definitely one of the best Porsches...
Still - not what I would call a commuter car ;)

Cheers. I'm lucky in that the Spyder is a third car for us for high days and holidays... and maybe the odd commute :)
