Ive been umming and rrring for a few weeks now about ordering one, but the numbers just don't stack up for me, nor does it look special enough, I may buy a used one if in the flesh it does it for me, congrats on your order though, i'd have the same spec exactly

If you did, would you sell your RS privet or PX it in on the RS3?

It's not a head decision. Buying a new car never is. I always buy a used car after some sucker has lost a bomb but I just want it and I want it now!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't wait to pull up beside an 911 at the lights and smoke it (in an A3)

LOL

Do you know how many RS3s are unsold? Was in my local dealer today and asked about a test drive when they get one in. They said the whole 500 allocation for the UK had been sold so not much chance of a test drive?

I don't believe that to be entirely right. Check around different dealers, someone will have a slot.

Demonstrators and first customer cars not expected until 'summer', probably July. Audi will sell as many as they can, and that's likely to be more than 500.

I've got a deposit down but I'm not willing to place the order until I've driven. I'm in a slightly better position than most in that I registered my interest last year. Your best bet may be an ex-demonstrator.

You talk about they will sell as many as they can as if production constrainst don't exist

Volkswagen group could have sold thousands more cars in 2010 but for supply issues

Also the UK is not the most profitable market

So even if demand does outstrip supply, audi may not have the ability to up supply to match

Agreed, there will be a constraint somewhere. But they will sell more than 500 if they can supply more than 500. The indication I've had is that more than 500 will be supplied, this car won't attract discounts, so whilst profits generally aren't great in the UK, this car does return good money.
