Hi I've down sized !!!

[skirs6]

Ski, am I right in seeing that your plate starts OV*****. I don't mean to pee on your new car but it looks like those front discs look like they have a deep wear ridge on them.
If it is OV then it would have been an Audi demo car and I think I might have drove that car on a Audi RS day.

It is a beautiful car though.

You may well be right it is OV. You have warmed it up for me !!!! Audi did say it was one of their demo cars when I looked at it the first time.
These cars are designed to be driven. You clearly didn't drive it hard enough as all the wheels are in tact and the interior is like new.
I love the matte grey it's just a bit different.

To be honest I'm looking at C7's with envy as the modern systems make the C6 feel steam powered. The C6 is all about 'that engine' though which I absolutely love and C7's are still too pricey for me. Last time I spent around £50k on a car I got massively smashed come resale time. Plus paying £1k a month in premiums is just too big a hit for me

I've spent most of today just enjoying the C7 and as you said the systems are just so much more advanced than the C6. The tech in mine is fantastic. I couldn't stop my 19yr old son changing everything every two seconds. He referred to the C6 as an old mans car !!!! But he actually likes the C7.
I can't really afford this but after lots of playing with the numbers it's worked well on PCP just over £500 a month with my C6 as the deposit.

I'd been looking for about 6 months and normally once I start looking that's it for the old car.

£500! <beep> that's less than I'm paying for my C6! I pay £490 pm plus with the Audi extended warranty that takes me up to around £670 which isn't ideal to be honest but I can do it. If you can PM me some details that would be great...I love the C6 to bits but the age issue is starting to bug me a bit.

I pay £555 for my brand new PE. If you pay enough deposit you can make the payments as low as you want.

Lovely looking car! I may be a bit biased tho as mine is also matte daytona. I've had mine for 2 years and 40k miles now,and the paint is still as new, apart from 3 small stone chips. I've done 4 euro road trips in it,and am off to France again next month snowboarding.

Just get shampoo that is for matte paint, there are a few about now, and just clean it as normal.

Enjoy!

Yes it's finally mine. Unfortunately I will be boring many of you with loads of questions just like I did with the guys on the C6 section.
Collected late this afternoon so not great for pics. I will put some more up asap.

Welcome to the C7, enjoy! Look forward to seeing you around Sussex

That's the problem-all I could offer is my C6 in part ex and the last Audi dealership I spoke to said they wouldn't touch mine due to its age (59 plate). Will look around and see what deals are out there.

Nice to hear this. Mine is nearly three yrs old and the paint looks great. So just matte paint shampoo clean as normal?? I like that. Thank you mate.

My C6 was a 58 and Audi offered me £19500 so that's a pretty good deposit. Audi wouldn't put it on their forecourt it just goes out to trade.

My PCP was over fours years not the normal three as I needed it to end when I retire to cover final payment if I decide to keep the car.

I think a visit to Audi may be in order! Am chuffed that I haven't gone down the MRC route (yet) as they definitely wouldn't touch it then. I paid just under £30k for mine last April and it's still low miles (about to turn 64k on a Sept 2009 build) with a good spec.

Congrats, sounds like you have got things sorted out very nicely indeed.

Question for you guys; If I want to use my car as a deposit but I have an outstanding loan against it (not finance, a personal unsecured loan) what's my best move?
I don't really want to be paying the loan and a PCP payment each month.

Sorry to go wildly off topic.

If its a personal loan and unsecured, then its not tied to the car and you can sell the car and use the money for whatever you like, bearing in mind you still owe what's due on the loan... if it is a third party PCP type loan and is tied to the car, then best to get the dealer who is part exchanging the car to pay off the loan directly and then put the difference towards the deal. It shouldn't make any difference to the amount they offer you.

Just me - I would sell the car pay off the loan and buy something with cash rather than have finance or loans. PCP is the worst it ties you down to the brand.
