Dynamic plus pack with 'ramics, Matte Paint.
All that money spent, yet no styling pack, no sports exhaust, and the comfort seat box ticked?!?

Listening to a few people on here last week they seemed to all agree the Quattro badge was awful so maybe that's why there was no styling pack. And he got the rear seat entertainment so maybe that's why he got the comfort seats. And the Alu doesn't look too bad with the matte paint (and I normally hate alu trim).
It's not how I would have specced it, but I can see why someone would.

I wouldn't have matte paint or the Quattro styling, but I do like the look of matte grey with the Aluminium. It gives a nice lift/detail and ties in nicely with the diamond cut alloys. Seats are unforgiveable though, the salesman should've suggested crayons and a colouring book instead.

Sports Zorst no big deal
I'd go aftermarket anyway
Seats aren't that bad...although I'd have to get road of those dreadful stuck on screens
Quattro grill (if liked) easily fitted
Looks a good car to me....
Bargain of you get a couple of g knocked off?

This one's not for me (too old, too many miles, matte paint, comfort seats), but this morning I have made a VERY cheeky bid on another car. The salesman didn't dismiss it straight off the bat, so we'll see. I doubt it'll go anywhere, it really was that cheeky, but I know it's a car that's been for sale for a very long time due to its strange spe,c so buyers clearly aren't plentiful and they're looking to shift it.

No reply or communication received as yet, so I'm assuming it's a firm no...

Just looked up the Sprint Blue one as there can't be many around. It is the same one that I test drove before ordering my car. I don't think the advert says it's their old demo so be warned if it is that car you were looking at.
Sprint blue, 20" wheels (is that why you bought those 21s earlier?), air suspension, silver leather, B&O.
I blanked out the plate just in case you buy it and don't want the plate on the web:

Yup that's the one.

It's been for sale for many many months now, so I thought I'd take a punt and make a cheeky offer. Anyway, to cut a long story short, it took them 4 days to come back to me and say they would only give me a couple of hundred quid off the car because it's so keenly "
priced to sell".

I think that was up for sale when I collected mine in February. It was the one myself and my wife test drove. It only had about 300 miles on the clock at the time.

It was being used as a managers car (and demo), but is now apparently sat on the forecourt with 4500 miles on the clock. It's been for sale for 10mths at least.
They've tried 3 different sets of pictures (the latest taken a few weeks ago), and a price drop at the start of the year from £70k to £65k.
I thought they might want rid, so I made a bid taking into consideration what else in on the market, the need to put 21's, and also a zorst on it. But seemingly they're happy to sit on it. Strange really considering they were very keen to have my B8.
I can only come to the conclusion that the car ows them a considerable amount of money, and the iffy spec choice (£6k on the B&O) means they have been hit hard and they're trying to minimize that hit.

Or the manager is really enjoying driving it around and doesn't want to give it up yet.

From what he told me, it's no longer being used as a manager's car. It's now sat on their forecourt which is why the mileage hasn't changed for a few months.
