Nice Racing Mica Blue at Amazingstoke
Think it looks pretty smart, to be honest.
88 k though for an 'A5 coupe'

Re: Nice Racing Mica Blue at Amazingstoke
It has been there for a while. There is something I don't understand going on, they don't seem interested in selling it. What was your impression?
I went there in March. When I told them I would not pay list because I knew RS5s were not selling well, the salesman told me it was sold.
Curious it's still there 3 months later.
My theory is that Audi insist they have a display car and for some reason, the one they have is not costing them anything, so they are not concerned if it sells or not.

I didn't look too closely at the spec, other than to notice the absence of ceramics and the addition of B&0. For me, a coupe with a plastic dash is not an 80k car. Ever.
I've used Basingstoke for years and they go through phases - alternating between oddness and quality in my experience. They were great with our SQ5 purchase and were excellent with a warranty claim around a broken seat which may have been a borderline claim elsewhere
As you know, they've only recently finished a showroom re-furb. To my eyes, they've just moved some internal walls around down stairs. Yet it was completely gutted.
They could alternatively be balls deep into the RS5 and have no leeway in it - margins also being protected with the refurb too. It will be dropping like a stone though. You'd have to really want that shade of blue to go for it.
It's possible is an HQ mandated stock car, but being un-sold for that long is embarrassing.
Very agreeable reception staff, indeed.

I have been a customer since 2007. Got to know everyone, manager was someone I knew outside of dealership, had integrity and sorted out the branch.Leonard Stanley wrote: ↑Fri Jun 15, 2018 9:50 pmI've used Basingstoke for years and they go through phases - alternating between oddness and quality in my experience.
I had a brief BMW phase and so have been away for a year.
Now I go back (March) and all the staff have been changed by the new owners (or maybe they all quit). I took that as a bad sign.
I might go back for servicing if they keep the same receptionist

Went by there today and the Blue RS5 is gone, from the showroom at least. Did you buy it Leonard?

Ha - no, not me. I won't be buying anything tasty at the moment. I'm considering dropping the cars for now because I think we're in for a bumpy ride come April 2019!
