His laugh when he first floors reminds me of my reaction when I drove it.

Hope you enjoy as much as I did. None of that Clarkson, Harris rear end out bs.

I tend to look out for Matt Farah's reviews as I tend to like them. Again, he avoids all the Clarkson and Harris bs (although Harris can do some interesting reviews he does sometimes get on my nerves).

I like their reviews once you get past the 'americanisms'

Have you seen the Xcar reviews, they're always decent too

Don't think I've seen the Xcar reviews. I'll take a look next time I'm fantasising about something I can't afford.

Yes, saw that yesterday. They are already south and will continue to do so. There must be 20 or so of those cars for which there doesn't appear to be a market at anything like the current stickers. They'll have to shift before the new R8 is announced otherwise they'll have to give them away.

I was in Audi yesterday, and although they wouldn't fix on a price, they alluded to the fact they'd take significantly less as no one has really shown any interest in it and they're keen to move it on

I'm surprised though, as that's a nice spec car and despite it being a 'driven to death' demo, it's still a 1 year old £130k car with 6 or 7k miles on it
There's a few ex demo V10+'s in the network and none of them seem to be shifting at all
Perhaps there's a bargain to be had soon….

Agreed, that's my view. A lot of these cars have been sat on their books for six months. Got to write it off at some point.

They will likely get support from Audi UK to shift em, and they are prob on a special VWFS funding program

£82k would take it

Speacial funding would be nice as the interest rates are what kills it for me.

Martyn at Bath told me he could do a new one at roughly 3.5%, which is quite nice. Trouble is the residuals aren't very strong.

3.5% is very competitive, but going on the Swindon example - somewhere north of £40k depreciation in year one isn't
At that rate, it'll be depreciating significantly faster than you'd be paying it off
I think when the 2015 car is shown this summer, the existing shape will take a good tumble again much in the same way as the used Gallardo market is starting to fill up
That Swindon car tempts me on a weekly basis and even the mrs likes it now, but.........
