I hope so pal! I'm almost past caring whether I have a 17 plate as I'm on PCP anyway so can't see it making much difference. Only saying march as that's what I got told when I rang Audi UK. Give up chasing the dealer a while a go

Ah yes sorry.... I muddled that up good and proper lol. But I understand nowIf the GFV is 17k and the car is valued at the time at say 18.5k you now have 1.5k 'equity' in the car to put down as a new deposit if you intend to trade the car in. If you intend to car back at the end of the monthly payments then the GFV doesn't really come into it. I don't really understand when you say knock it off the GFV? The 17k is the just the final payment if you want to keep the car, or the figure to work out how much equity you have with regards to a part ex.

I just popped into the dealership this morning and managed to sort my order number out. After having a quick discussion with my sales rep..... he's reassured me that it'll be here before Aprilquote" I'll drive over there to get the car myself if I had to, and meant that you'd get it before april" don't really want to be paying an extra.....what is it £450 a year on tax if I can help it.Ordered around the same time as you and originally waited 2.5 weeks for the estimated build date to come up on yourAudi. When it did, it said 1st May 2017 and then 10th April 2017. Recently, it has moved to 27th March 2017 but the dealership has advised that the date should come forward to February. Like yourself, I will be pretty annoyed if I have to tax the car under the new regulations
The question is, who decides what the GFV is? What if the cars value isn't what they guarantee when it comes to buying it off them after the agreement?I think, the smartest way of doing it. Is to buy the car off them at the end and sell it privately. You'll get more for it than what Audi would offer you. But it's more hassle.

At 44k the cars value out of the factory, I would have payed over 30k by the time the agreement is up. To my calculations shouldn't it be around 14k?
Anyone know the UK ports that Audi use? I know Grimsby is one...
Hopefully mine is the same! I'm glad you found that out though as it makes me feel better about my orderI just popped into the dealership this morning and managed to sort my order number out.

He had all the files out and confirmed that my Saloon is starting build at the very latest build week 8 which is the 20th of February, but likely to start a couple weeks before then, so at the latest he reckons it'll be mid March before I can collect my car. Which I'll be over the moon with

Yes but you are probably paying a fair chunk interest in your monthly payments so you can't really work it out like that. The GFV is generally around a couple of thousand under what they expect the true value to be to leave you with a small deposit for next car. If it's worth less than the GFV then you'll just hand it back to them?
He did say something about week 8 being my original date.... he said that it can only start sooner than that, they can't push it back.Hopefully mine is the same! I'm glad you found that out though as it makes me feel better about my order
Hi mate, and no not yet, I've got a status 60 on the top line of my tracker however there's no time stamp against it. But if it is actually on a status 60 it means it should be at the dealership tomorrow or now even... need to wait until tomorrow for the tracker to see if it officially updates to 'arrived'Have you got yours yet @billy.rt ?
Anyone had there's delivered via transporter rather than driven if leasing?
Mine came on a transporter, didn't cost any extra either.

Ok great, are you pretty far away from the supplying dealer?
Yeah I'm exactly 210 miles from the dealership. I would rather not have it driven all that way to be honest down the A1/M11 for 3 hours I don't like the idea of it. If that's the case I would want to be the one driving it back!
Exactly my thoughts. My current lease was delivered by a nice chap but did have a few stone chips when it arrived which was disappointing.
Seine Highway is on its way from Emden to Sheerness. Please let mine be on it!
How do you go about the repairs? I take it it will be through the transport company?
Sounds like you did well there! Mine is just in the normal queue unfortunately so the waiting game continues for a while longerHe did say something about week 8 being my original date.... he said that it can only start sooner than that, they can't push it back.
He also said when I made the order......and because I made it with him, he apparently pushed mine in the queue in replace of a demo car ordered for a dealership up country. How much of that is true I don't know
