I do!

I understand but he hasn't been let down before with delivery dates and I would have thought that given the amount of cash (not finance) he spends each year he should deserve some kind of loyalty and honesty (from Audi??).


All we can do is wait...

Don't think the cash vs finance makes any difference to the dealer, in fact the dealer would favour finance!

^^ all that happens is VWFS (or whoever) pay the dealer and the debt moves to the finance house

makes no difference to the dealer

oh, and the dealer earns more money from finance commision, and has a greater likelihood of retaining the customer for service or repeat purchase

so ... cash vs. finance

If I were a dealer, it would be the latter

That is what I was trying to imply but couldn't be bothered to type that on iPhone

Well I hope the RS4 doesnt die on its feet like the RS5 has. Audi are advertising 7k dealer contribution on the RS5 and thats without haggling.
Heres hoping next year we can get a new RS4 for not far off what the B7 cost.

It'll be interesting to see if he gets his car when the dealer says as it is supposedly being debuted at Geneva on March 8th so good luck getting his car by end of Quarter 1 next year some 22 days after that.

Anyone else put down a deposit...guess these are going to be 55k+

I would have expected more so called "leaked" pictures in the press by now.

It will be interesting to see what power it has when its launched.

I am guessing more like £60-65K with some necessary toys

wow, it better be good then...!

I'm just basing that on RS5 prices and I want nav, big wheels, sunroof possibly buckets, and may even go for the ceramic brake option

Mmmm, it sounds like you'll have a great car when it lands

Seems like an age away yet (as it doesn't even exist yet!

My garage lending me an RS5 for a long weekend next week to help with the pain of the wait!

[Revolution]

niiice..

I was thinking more like 65k. But hopefully after a year on the market we will see some RS5 esque discounts so shouldnt be far off the B7.

R35's can be had for similar money....

Were fitted an Akropvic on a new one today and theyre mighty impressive...
and quicker than most cars...some people have a problem with the looks and the badge
