Reasonable Premium on 'demo' car

[deansheehan]

I've been offered a new RS4 that is a demo vehicle - will have 500 (careful so they say) miles on it and I can have it 1st June.

Today 2 other people started bidding for it and I have agreed to pay 4k over list for it.

Have I been had?

It is beautiful and feels like a combination between my Chimaera 5L of a few years back and my 911 (997) I had - brilliant combination. Stunning car.

I think that is way too much, if you are willing to phone round and travel you'll be able to pick up a cancelled order or a showroom model without any miles. I read in another post there is a Misano Red one at Audi in Doncaster .

plus dealers can zero the mileage if its below 500..they should knock 4k off if its a demo..

Why would you pay over list!!! Just order a new one @ list.

Tell them to go jump!

Look through the threads on here, there's a fair few available and you'll be paying standard list price.

Cannot believe the cheeky bast**d's

Yes Doncaster Audi do have a Misano Red 06 plate RS4 available for sale, as far as I know list price too. I had a good look at it last week.

Or try and order one, but you`ll have to be lucky to get one for this year to you spec as I hear customers are still waiting for deliveries from some dealerships.

Pull out, and let the two other mugs fight it out.

I agree, also Peter Gilders Audi in Sheffield have a cancelled order also...... do abit or searching and you`ll find one or even a dealer with a allocation still left for this year like I did.

There's dealer cars for sale unregistered and nil premium. Just phone the nearest 12 dealers to you and ask. Best of luck!

If the test drive miles have been "easy" then why the hell do people go out in it?

It will have been caned from cold. It deserves a decent discount.

Thanks for all the feedback, they are also trying it on with the part-exchange for my S4 Cab at 2.5k below book pe price!

I test drove the RS4 and had it redlined and squiffy on the exit of a couple of roundabouts, sure I'm not the first and probably not the last!
