    Broker dealer

    C2C used a dealer a little bit south of London when I was looking at getting an S3. Gordon mentioned getting a cheap flight to London about £60 from Newcastle then I think you could get the tub or a train close to the dealership. They can also deliver it to you, which is included in the price...

    Facelift Is it a good deal?

    And I've requested a quote from "drive the deal" & "coast2coast" to see what they come back with, orangewheels was roughly the same as I've got from lookers so didn't bother with them.

    Facelift Is it a good deal?

    Yeah I'm very aware that the deposit is pretty much gone and most likely won't be there at the end. My thinking is that my circumstances will be a lot better in 4 years, once I'm qualified. I might end up keeping the car once the 4 years is over.

    Facelift Is it a good deal?

    So I've been back in to test drive a manual and much proffer the s tronic. I guess I'd get used to the manual but the s tronic is nice. So spec'd a white S3 s tronic with tech pack which includes the VC. Delivery would be September on a 67 plate. Payments are at with 326 with 5k deposit from...

    Facelift Is it a good deal?

    Would adding optional extras increase the bloon payment at the end? As you'd expect the car to be worth more for them?

    Facelift Is it a good deal?

    It was the ibis white, I love the nano grey though. Yeah I know that's the only thing, I love the SS seats the one we test drove had them 66 plate. Just can't stretch my payments to much. Wonder if I spec'd the tech pack with VC and had one build what that would do to my payments. How longs...

    Facelift Is it a good deal?

    Hi all So I started off wanting a 184 diesel, then it went to a used S3 and finally to a new S3. I don't know how but it did, just wondering what you all think on the current deal. S3 SB STronic PCP over 48 months 10k miles per year Only added extra is the privacy glass. 4.5k deposit inc my px...

    Do you miss your automatic lights?

    Ormesome, like you said it's like a step back and I don't want to spend all this money for a lower spec car than I already have. As for the model it's got to be an sline with lowish miles. I'd proffer the 184 diesel & budget was between 15 - 20k I guess it would be easier to find on the 150...
