This 'bespoke' thing can have a negative effect on the used market, in my opinion.
I've never really liked it, or agreed with it.
I prefer cars that come in certain spec levels, and that's that.
You know what you're getting then.
I've looked at used A3's on Autotrader loads of times, and finding one which would suit me is difficult.
They've either got stuff I wouldn't want, or don't have stuff I would want.
Much easier if the only variable was colour, IMO.
I wasn't able to 'bespoke' my D3, apart from colour, but that didn't bother me at all.
I disagree, if you're paying top dollar for a brand spanking new car you should be able to customise it to your needs. For example if all S3's had bucket seats, nobody with young children would be able to get one due to the lack of ISOFIX, not everyone has ipods, not everyone smokes, some people have portable GPS units etc etc. Who cares about the people buying second hand! if they don't like whats on offer work a bit harder, get a new one and get exactly what you want!
