Hey All,

 

So yesterday placed my order after a week of negotiations, got 5.77% discount which I'm pretty pleased with given all the other guys I know that have ordered for 0%! Though I should add some of that is made up of commission they who me from referrals I have made to them, so it's not as strong as it looks.

 

Currently driving an Audi S1 and the Mrs has an Octavia vRS TDI DSG Estate. These are to be replaced by the RS3 and we also ordered a Hyundai i10 Premium SE in Moon Blue 2 hours before heading to the Audi dealership to use as the runabout and the Wife's commuter mule (I walk to work). It's a surprisingly good car! And a steal at £10.5k (£12.1k RRP), 5 years warranty and 5 years road side. This comes in July, before which we will sell the vRS (anyone interested!?).

 

RS3 spec as follows...

Panther Black

Super Sports Seats with red contrast stitching 

Design Pack - Seatbelts, mono-pur armrests, knee pads and floor mats have red contrast stitching, plus air vents have red accents 

Electric lumbar support

‘5-arm Rotor’ wheels in anthracite black high-gloss finish, diamond cut alloy wheels 

Callipers in red 

Comfort and Sound Pack - Cruise Control, B&O Sound system, Interior LED Lighting, Auto dimming rear view 

Tech Pack with Audi Connect 4G 

Dynamic Pack - Mag ride + Sports Exhaust 

Gloss Black Pack 

Audi Phone Box 

Through-Load Facility - includes rear armrest and cup holders/storage compartment 

Advanced Key 

Reversible Boot Mat 

Black Rook Rails 

Privacy Glass 

Door Mirrors - Heated/Dimming/Folding 

Hold Assist 

Reversing Camera 

Audi Pre-Sense Basic 

Rear Side Airbags 

Driver Assistance Pack - ACC, Lane Assist and High Beam Assist 

Side Assist 

4 Years Warranty 

 

 

Numbers work out on PCP as;

£2k deposit 

48 months

£737pcm

8k mileage

£22.5k GFV

 

 

In July the S1 will go up for SoR at my dealership (or let me know if you are interested!? I will post an ad in the relevant section when the time comes).

 

RS3 could come anytime between Sept and Jan, am yet to get a build slot yet. I'm hoping/expecting nearer Jan as it allows me more time to add to the house deposit!

 

I'm a member of loads of forums (AudiSRS, Audisport.net, A1-Forum.co.uk, AOC, Briskoda.net) so 'Hi' to any other cross-members! The S1 and vRS 'build threads' are here http://www.a1-forum....p?f=27&t=118722 and here http://www.briskoda....tdi-dsg-ordered - loads of pics/info on both but feel free to ask me anything

 

I think that about covers it as an intro. Ciao!

Bet you cant wait! 

[josedebardi]

Thanks guys, the wait is going to kill me! My heart wants it to come in Sept, but my head needs it to come Nov onwards!

 

I'll keep you up to date on build week etc. Have started already, but I look forward to joining in with all the discussions across the forum

[josedebardi]

Welcome

Dorchester mate. I host a monthly Skoda meet in Blandford, pop along if you fancy it (half of us drive Audi's anyway!), be good to put a face to a profile! http://www.briskoda....-21st-may-2015/

Welcome to the forum, that's probably the longest spec I've seen - what did it list out at pre-discount?

[josedebardi]

£52.8k I think. The best bit was the ordering system didn't have enough rows to fit them all on so he had to put 2 options on 1 line in a couple of places!

I'm sure that would have confused an Audi salesman    It's a great spec though, look forward to seeing some pics when it arrives - hopefully before 2017.......

Sounds nice - Welcome.

 

Think Id have to drive one first before parting with that sort of cash.

Thanks

 

I ordered my SQ5 and S1 both pre-production and have loved them both, hopefully the trend will continue! If I was looking for a serious track car I'd have to drive it first, but as a road machine I can't imagine I'll be too upset with it

Is that your S1 in your profile pic?

Think they look great albeit too small for our family needs so never bothered driving one.

Yep - click the link in the OP for loads more pics. You should go and test drive one, it is without doubt one of the most fun cars out there. It is a tad small as you say, it's one of the reasons I'm going RS3.

I'm tempted too but just not sure if it's really me.......wish the RS had that funkiness but I know that would only suit non grown ups like me lol.....A lot cheaper too than the A and GLA 45 I'm considering......as well as my WIP RS that will stay with me for years I imagine

[josedebardi]

Popped into my dealer today, they have 6 factory confirmed orders and a few more not confirmed yet.
Mine (unbelievably considering the spec!) is the first one in line at BW36 code 10.

TBH I'd rather it came later as I need to sell my current cars! Tho I think come Oct I won't be saying that!

I could never buy a brand new car from self-spec as I'm too impatient to wait, i once ordered a new merc, 3 weeks later canceled as i found nearly the same spec car which was 3 months old & i even pushed the dealer so i could have it 2 days later

Hi Jose welcome and congratulation for your new toy, sounds awesome.
