No, this particular dealer was very nice, so I didn't want to rub their nose in it. But that very day, if they had matched the DTD price I would have signed up.

Kraken27, that is brilliant!! I've put my a3 on hold now, whilst I explore other options. Unsuprisingly, now it's getting to the end of the month, dealers are emailing me asking what they could do to get my sale. I got one this morning with I quote "the sales manager is hungry for sales", all...

Wow Zoowatch, you really like a bargain don't you? I effectively have 2 jobs so I don't have the time to do what you did, but I will try a bit more before I end up at a broker. 7% is what I'm aiming for now. Another dealer got back to me today saying they couldn't get to 4%, although this was...

I was aware that I wouldn't be able to get as close as drivethedeal, which is about 8% but the 4% offered isn't very close. I agree that dealerships offer a better service face-to-face etc, but I wouldn't put a £1000 price on that :) Interestingly, I emailed 3 other dealerships, one sent me a...

Hello all, I've never bought a new car before, so I've never had a waiting period but I'm going to put in an order for an sline a3 shortly. I was wondering what happens when you agree a trade in value for your old car? If they offer £5k now, how does that work when you finally get around to...

I've specced an sline, 1.4 COD sportback, with comfort pack (acoustic parking & cruise), 5 yr warranty, folding mirrors, and interior lighting pack and it came to £25895, using drive the deal it says £23842, quite a saving. I would have thought there are deals to be had out there, but you have...

True, but I'd prefer it if I knew about it!

A non-GTI golf has never appealed to me, they are good cars but a bit boring to look at. If I go for an A3 it will have to be the s-line spec. So no one has heard of the newer audi being stolen without keys? I guess it's very early on in it's life for this to be reported anyway.

An S3 would have been a better comparison! I've got to the age where I am either too old to drive hot hatches and want to be sensible (a3) or continue to be a hooligan (gti). Hence driving the two to see which one I liked, and I'm afraid to say it's Farah Slacks for me!

This article was about the 8P http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/a3-s3-sportback-8p-chassis/159365-stolen-a3-s-line-black-edition-white-leeds-car-park-5.html There was also another article about thieves being disturbed in a car park in manchester (parrswood cinema), as they were in the process of...

Hello all! After months of procrastinating and whittling down various cars, I have gotten down to 2 cars + Golf GTI + A3 sportback 1.4 I've driven both, the gti is a better drivers car, but I can't see myself using it to it's potential, so it's the a3. Unfortunately they only had a s-tronic...
