Just ordered an S3 . . .
Re: Just ordered an S3 . . .
thats close enough to warrant an RS and a V8 !
Re: Just ordered an S3 . . .
You're right it's not far off. Still probably £400 per month cheaper when including fuel and insurance etc though. Part of me is looking forward to not running a V8.

Don't get me wrong it's a very small part. I'm trying to make myself feel better about not having the RS anymore.

S3 will be a great car, recently had a test drive in a sportback and it was a good drive, lighter, agile and great under braking.
It is a step on from the old model and while it does not have the presence of the RS3 it will give it a run in every other way.
Enjoy.

Re: Just ordered an S3 . . .
Was debating dropping you a pm to see how the deal compared to the Golf R which is 275 a month incl vat. This through Bath again?Nickyboy wrote:Only at £1500 down and around £430 prior to changing to sportback. Residuals are stronger anyway so it may not change much.

You must surely get staff rates at Bath Audi by now Nick
Re: Just ordered an S3 . . .
I think it is comparable to the Golf R deal as I have specced a few things and my deposit is smaller. Probably end up with breaking even after two years just like the Golf really.Ian_C wrote:Was debating dropping you a pm to see how the deal compared to the Golf R which is 275 a month incl vat.

Looks very plain. Really looking forward to the next RS 3, Bath Audi already know I'm ordering as soon as I can.

Cant believe I'm reading this but good to see you're coming back to Audi.
Re: Just ordered an S3 . . .
I tried having a normal car but I just hated it. Plus the S3 test drive really got me hooked.blackphantom wrote:Cant believe I'm reading this but good to see you're coming back to Audi.

Re: Just ordered an S3 . . .
Next change!
Well I've just bought a used one as I dont want to wait until May plus this one was lost the initial depreciation and I got a good deal. Pick it up this weekend. Spec:
S3 Sportback S-tronic
Misano red
Red parade pack leather seats
Tech pack high
Tyre pressure monitoring
Electric lumbar support
Inlays 3D design, black
B&O
Drive assistance pack
- Parking aid at front at rear
- High beam assist
- Front assist including emergency braking for ACC high
- ACC
- Lane departure warning
- Light/rain sensor
Lane assist and side assist
Pre sense basic
Auto release function
Interior light pack
Auto dimming rear view mirror
Also, tested the A45 AMG today and it felt tame compared to the S3. It honestly felt like my Scirocco. Even the dealer was less than impressed. They thought something could have been wrong with it. Either way I walked away from it.

Thats the way to do it and a decent spec, let someone else take the depreciation where did you get it from?Nickyboy wrote:Next change!
