Can someone confirm, are Audi Finance now offering £6k on a new RS6 as my dealer said it was or is only £3k?
It's 6k if you take the finance. 3k from the dealer, 3k from Audi UK. Dealers portion comes out of their margin.
Correct.

The delivery date is curious. I'm not sure how they can guarantee that at time of order. I ordered two months ago and the car is due Oct.

She has a build date of week 31 which is in July and then a month or so to deliver so not sure what is odd about that?

Ah, so the dealer had a car already ordered, that makes more sense.

No, this is a new order and not one on the list, they don't pre-order the RS6 and especially having just put a demo on in March - think you need to have a word with your dealer as 3 months is std for a new order for an RS6.

Three months is certainly not typical, 3-6 is more common....

Yeah....spec is a bit mental though with a double digit discount. Can't have it all!

Still seems odd to have a build date on the day of order. I've never seen that before let alone on an RS car.

15k is a good discount. That will have factored in on trade in price.

No trade in so discount not reflected in that sorry and I did say just under but not telling how much under :wink:

The Benfield group have the RS6 on demo so try any one of them in the North East including the one in Teesside :wink:

Aye, that's a good discount.

Unfortunately exclusive anything means longer lead time, that I knew from previous experience. Ceramics were another delaying factor though I believe that's now sorted.

Includes the £3k finance contribution but will pay that off on the day of purchase :audibash:

Mine is a std car with some usual extras and not ceramics so maybe easier to order - not sure :?:

Anyway, hope you get yours sometime soon and really looking forward to mine :thumbs:
