B8 Limited Edition

Post by Markmyatt7 » Sun Feb 15, 2015 9:11 pm

Is it worth the money?

Around £65k but does come with a good spec. On "Broadspeed" you can get one for £57k.

What are Audi discounts like nowadays?

I've been out the loop for a while and just testing the waters.

Cheers.

There's no performance gains or any numbering to show its a limited edition from what I can see. You do get some exclusive interior styling on the steering wheel and bucket seats which is a nice touch.

The rest is choice options from the normal options list which you can spec yourself from a normal car.

Discounts still decent at the moment. 12-13% is very achieveable

Chaps.

Holy thread resurrection! I'm looking at RS4's and have a few leads on a special edition not quite yet built. I've been offered a 10% discount even though Audi "aren't allowed to discount them" just wondering what the general consensus is re VFM etc. It has bucket seats, 174mph top speed etc. Dreaded DRC though :audibash:

Cheers, TX.

I've bought one - mine with spec came at £69.5k List.

Reason I bought one is in the vain attempt to preserve some depreciation (I'm funding externally from Audi).

You've gotta be careful with the colour combos, I reckon - Panther, Mythos, and Missano will suit it. Calendula Yellow on the inside is for the hard-core massive - Epsom have a great one of those coming in, ask for stephen reed


Watford Audi have got a fully loaded one coming in which sounds nice (ask for Chris). When you add up what you get in the Brochure the saving is massive BUT - mine is simply coming with more options than I would have spec'd on a normal car.

When I spec'd up a non Ltd, it worked out 1k list less than the ltd I have bought - but Audi were much happier to discount a non ltd car more, so I've ended up paying a little more than a no ltd car.

I'm pretty excited about mine now!!! lol - it's going to be a lot of what I wouldn't have ordered, I hope it makes me feel younger!!! ah ha - I mean for example the seats are in the brochure at 2k, and then the exclusive pack that goes on it is £6k, and that's before you even look into the B&O, Wheels, Carbon Engine Cover, speed limiter etc etc

Std vs. Ltd Like for Like
I must be bored bored bored bored waiting waiting waiting.

So I've done some maths, I've taken the Audi Brochure, and then done a like for like calculation.

With both cars at list price, and no extra goodies, to build a Ltd Edition Car using the Non Ltd car as the base spec would cost you an extra £7570

Wether thats a bargain or not is down to if you value the options, as I said I would't have normally spec'd them - but now I've bought it, I'm excited to see what I get, that;s the other thing, you simply cannot find decent images of what the options look like - a bit of a surprise....

....Well apart from the Kingfisher Blue one on audi.co.uk

There's no exclusive interior options, so other than lobbing in a few extra options, not a lot different.
