DTD cheaper for me on a S3 SB?
I was looking at Sport 184 SB. Not much in it, £200 at most.

Presumably they negotiate a bigger discount than you get, and they keep the difference
Ordered my car on the launch day of the Sportback , told no discounts available so played a few mind games with the salesman and got £1600 off, he was very confused.

You can't negotiate a px with DtD, however you may be able to do so through the supplying dealer. But you'll only find out who that is after ordering the car from DtD.I note from the DTD website it says part ex of your current car is not possible. Is genuinely the case based on personal experience?
The part ex the dealer quoted against a non discounted car was only £50 different to what we buy any car offered me. And it was £2-3000 less than what similar cars where up for on the forecourt.
have just managed to get £3000 off S3 which is ROTR price £36750 (fully spec'd up) from localish dealer and they will accept part ex, although not sure what price they will offer
I can confirm this - just had slightly over 8% discount (I haggled a little more!) on a £32675 A3 Sline 184 s-tronic quattro Build date W4, so a 14 plate. Nice!Carfile are 8% (except they don't discount the delivery, so it's more like 7.8%) at the moment across the A3 range
9% seems to be about the best you can get (that was on a S3 SB)

Anyone know how dealers arrive at this figure?? Who tells them?
Discounts on S3 are always lower than A3 where I have heard 12% is possible.
Kings Lynn Audi have been offering 9% off new s3s
It's worth contacting Andrew Maund or Fraser
So are others!!! Need to push quite hard and I have yet to hear of anyone getting more than that on S3.
You've done ok then by and large. The important thing is 'the price to change'. No discount and a huge trade in or a good discount and a parsimonious offer on trade in - you decide.
Of course the best approach is a big discount and a private sale. This usually returns the lowest cost. My present car was bought through Drive the Deal. I sold the Citroen through ebay for £3500 after being offered £1000 at a local dealer and a tiny discount on the new Audi.
This made a saving of around £5000 for minimal effort. My new 184 on order involves the same approach except that this time I slid the broker quote under the salesmans nose.
I've saved 10% plus £5k from Audi on the 2 RS4's i have on order and was offered the same on an S3, but thats because I've had several cars off them.
There's not many head of business at an Audi dealership that will happily give you his mobile number, and take calls or questions out of hours. For me thats worth the trek from Durham down to kings Lynn any day of the week.
Anyone can sell you anything, but its the service and aftersales that comes with it and from my own personal buying experience of over 15 Audis in 3 years, I'm yet to find better than Andrew and the team at kings Lynn.
And no, I'm not on commission but do like to share my own personal experiences and touch wood they have all be positive so far.
If anyone would like his contact details, then please drop me a pm. I guarantee you won't find better service anywhere
