Its 3 months late already just to order ...even if you could order one right now it'll be May ...unless Audi start shipping Vorsprung models....from stock soonAnyone know when the Vorsprung edition is going to be available? I've been trying to decide between an s3 saloon and the cla35 for a while but I think I'm going to go for the S3. Considering I'd want all the toys it seems stupid to get anything other than Vorsprung.
I'm in no major rush to buy - own my current car outright and I'm waiting on my house purchase to complete before I get a new car. I'm just curious if anyone has got any inside knowledge on when they're actually going to be available as at least then I can roughly look forward to some kind of time frame.Its 3 months late already just to order ...even if you could order one right now it'll be May ...unless Audi start shipping Vorsprung models....from stock soon

Just had a look on the Merc configurator and the price for a fully specc'd 35 is up from 47k to 50k - no doubt due to Brexit and the 45 plus is up to 60k so will just have to wait and see what prices are looking like when I'm actually ready to buy. It might sound daft but Merc isn't offering the HUD in the UK market and after having one for a couple of years on my 6 series I wouldn't want to be without. A fully specc'd up S3 is currently sitting at 45k - I wouldn't have thought the Vorsprung edition will be THAT much more with the most expensive Vorsprung A3 being 40k.if you shop around & push a hard deal it’s possible you could get a CLA 45s for similar money (or not much more) to a fully specced Vorsprung S3 saloon.
I think you'll be looking at £46k for the Vorsprung S3 Saloon and Audi being such as they are??? they'll be 3/4 other desirable option boxes still left to tickJust had a look on the Merc configurator and the price for a fully specc'd 35 is up from 47k to 50k - no doubt due to Brexit and the 45 plus is up to 60k so will just have to wait and see what prices are looking like when I'm actually ready to buy.

German manufacturers have lost the plot.So the questions are;
£50k for an S3 saloon with a sunroof (small VC), ****** hell.
- Typo.
- Who is desperate enough to pay that.
- Is the dealer just chancing themselves.

I think my pauper spec S3 GFMV was just over 18k ?
Says Audi if you trade it in to them ...was offered £27100 3 weeks ago 6 months ago was offered £27900 and @pburv sold his pauper spec car for far more than what Audi valued it atThat's because extras over standard spec do not make much difference in future value.
That's true. Audi only offered 18k for my car. I told them to 'jog off' lol.Says Audi if you trade it in to them ...was offered £27100 3 weeks ago 6 months ago was offered £27900 and @pburv sold his pauper spec car for far more than what Audi valued it at

I've subbed to his channel for a while now. It was a fair review of the car to be honest. Like you said though 18" wheels as standard on the saloon.Audi has lost the plot I reckon.Always like this guys reviews, down to earth and not biased.
What a rotter the saloon is with 18inch wheels.
lol The point I was trying to make was 19" were standard on the 8v saloon. Also mag ride. To me at the time was worth spending the extra for the saloon over the sport back. Is mag ride standard on the 8y saloon?Are 18 inch wheels not big enough?

That's quite a markup from 19kThat’s main dealers for you, brother was offered £19k from BMW for his 320i touring shadow xdrive as a cash buy. Ended up selling via Wizzle for £21k to a non BMW dealer down south based on a photograph appraisal only and no further haggling when they sent a driver to collect it. That dealer is now selling it for just £300 less than he paid for it 18 months ago at £24k

As far as I'm aware you only get the Automatic Dampers (Used to be Mag Ride) on the Vorsprung Editionlol The point I was trying to make was 19" were standard on the 8v saloon. Also mag ride.

Thought as much. They have made the S3 saloon less attractive financially.As far as I'm aware you only get the Automatic Dampers (Used to be Mag Ride) on the Vorsprung Edition
When I wave my Willy, I don’t stop until I get 5% off RRP.My wife: "haggling is just men waving their ***** around!"
If you only get 5% you’re doing it wrong!!When I wave my Willy, I don’t stop until I get 5% off RRP.
I've been saying that for years, but I've been proved wrong. Not many people `buy` a car now. It's all about the monthlies. PCP has changed car buying forever.
Not sure what thread it was on, but someone was saying that all his friends (in 20's) were is S3's, A35 ANG's, Golf R's, and they aspired to be in an Audi RS. When I was in my 20's I only just afford the HPI repayments on a £13,000 106 GTI. The £17,000 306 GTI-6 was far too much money.
Years ago people used to buy TVs on credit until the penny finally dropped it wasn’t cost effective.Yeah, but they probably all still live at home with their mummy.
Makes the 2 year old S3 a steal @ £25k imo

It sure is, but I’m still impressed that it’s slightly quicker even with a PPF!
