I have decided to go for an S3 Saloon, Daytona Grey, will be here in March! please don't hate me!  :ambulance:


That'll be a lovely car; can't go wrong in Daytona :)
Maintaining status quo is not an option

It was a toss up between Sepang, Mythos or Daytona, but realised Daytona looks the mustard!!  ^_^

If your financing bud, you will get a better deal on New, purely because you can take advantage of the APR rate, downside is that in the first year you will get hit with the biggest depreciation but it will eventually level out within year 2, on a used although the price would seem appealing its the APR rate which they try screwing you on. 

 

I got £7500K off a £41K car and also a £1500 dealer contribution without me putting an extra penny in! 

 

Failing that if your Cashing' one, the above does not apply!

I've specced one 48k so £7500 off that would be awesome plus trading mine in against it hopefully bring it down abit.
I'd love to get one PCP and keep the MK1 but I reckon monthly payments would be around £600 pm

Take advantage of Christmas, pop in and see what they'll do! I have noticed a lot of press recently in RS3's being given out on fairly good Deals! Just haggle for as much equity in yours and also get a decent GFMV then you wont have a problem! 

 

The purchase will be worth it no doubt! Cant wait for mine!!!

Good advice Roy........ If your patient enough the right car will eventually turn up.

I know I really should pop in, but a few mates have them and their experiences are only positive. Although the RS3 is a fantastic car and probably the best car I have ever owned, I am trading in to avoid losing further money and I would be happier for it to go to a loving owner who can cherish it as much as I did. It doesnt make sense, hanging on to it further for it only to depreciate.


So are you saying you don't expect the S3 saloon to depreciate at all ?

Of course it will depreciate but at the time of trade in the S3 Saloon will be giving me a better GFMV than a new RS3!

JayRS3 thanks! That looks great, I'll take a look on eBay!
Also note you have he footwell lights, do you have the genuine extended light pack? Mines missing that!

 

Talk to Danny, mattjj82; the product is superb and makes a whole lotta difference to the car, plus, Danny may buy the old bits back off you...

Oh,and just back to subject: if my 8P RS3 BLUEY were worth minimal £s today I'd still be a very HAPPY Audi RS3 owner driver...   :)   

 

BLUEY is a KEEPER...   :3:

Thank you Is yours MK2 ? Id love to get it in Suzuka grey like my current one but extra 2k onto of my 8k spec list is too much so think either mythos or glacier on the wider black wheels
