It sounds like i was v lucky to only lose £2.5k on my avant. They put it back on at £55k and sold it within 2 days. Nice work if you can get it.

and lots of physical cars at dealers

Sorry - that link doesn't seem to work, but if you search on audi.co.uk used car locator for RS4 avants you will see what I was trying to illustrate.

I am the 4.5% man. My original car now for sale with Leeds Audi at a hefty premium to what I received grrrrr (£56850). http://usedcars.audi.co.uk/images/hdr_searchresults.gif I notice there is also a Mugello Blue Avant for £59950 at Hatfield, can't believe they will get anything like that. For me it...

Exactly my thoughts

I had bids ranging from £49kto £52k for a car with 1200 miles and a list price of 54350 ish. So the cost was 4.5%, which is not too bad really. I could of course have tried to sell privately but would have run the risk of fraud, scams etc. I also looked at using an "agent" to sell it for me but they...

BTW yet again with a few phone calls I came across 5 physical/near physical Avants available, though only one with "fat-boy" seats!

I have found a solution - sell my July 2006 Avant back to a dealer (at a small loss, unfortunately) and put a deposit down for another one with very similar spec, but with nice comfortable Recaros. It was a fairly painless process - ring a few buyers on Thursday, secure the best bid, car picked up o...

TO be honest I am struggling. I had originally ordered Recaros but picked up a cancelled order at the end of July which came with standard bucket seats. Unfortunately my original choice was the correct one. I am 5"11 and 17 stone, an ex rugby player. I think that weight alone is not the only factor,...

Jon very sorry to hear of your loss. will pm the dealer with the cab.

tanoga, in answer to your question no. I was just happy not to pay any premium over list and to not have to wait till likely 2007 delivery. Thanks to som esterling work by myself and the dealer I picked up the car on Saturday morning and am loving it. Spec is simply black with black buckets, tech pa...

simple1 - as an aside, the first call I made was to Audi UK to see if they could help me as I had heard about this "pot" system. They wouldn't/couldn't give me any info and claimed that all orders are dealt direct between the dealers and Audi Germany. I was surprised and a bit disappointed. But am v...

I Ouldn't dream of giving out that info on a public messageboard!

Agreed - I spoke to 3 different "brokers" who wanted between £1.5k and £5k as a premium. As I knew that the cancelled orders existed I thought it was worth calling a few dealers, which was certainly worth it. There has obviously been a shipment in the last week or so.
