I think Scuba may be an option if the Configurator is to be believed... it looks good but may be a short loved 'trendy' colour! Stick with Phantom Black .... to Silver range to be sure of good residuals.
Hi All
I've been following this site for ages now and have become a fan of the 2.0TDI 170 Black Edition. I'm thinking about buying the car via a pcp and have been offered £350 a month, 3 years, mileage around 15,000miles with deposit of £3,500. Just wanted to know if this is a good deal?
Secondly, do the new BE have radio antennas/'shark fins' - i've seen some with and some without.
Thirdly, the new wheels are a real sticking point for me! Have people had the same problems? Any solutions? I just think the old ones look beefier!
Fourthly, i'm thinking about the comfort pack - can anyone recommend anything else i might need to look at.
Thanks in advance..

Confused...you should be with the options available. DVD Sat Nav is more expensive than Tech Pack (Which includes DVD Sat Nav) If you use an IPod then you need the AMI to bring up tracks on screen. Then there's BT - Standard on BE but it costs £145 for part in centre armrest - then you still need to buy a dedicated car connection kit.
As for the wheels...trust me - If you don't have the new rotor style wheels it won't look like a new BE.
Thanks for the comments guys. Any views on the deal that's on offer?
Also, am i being naive to think i'll turn the bluetooth on, on my iphone and thats it...i'll be able to receive calls via the standard bluetooth connection the car has??

Diamond - When my car arrives I think we should take some pics with the two BE's together so others can decide whether they want Black or White. Could look quite good on same image.
HaHa... Yeah i'm up for it, but i know which one already looks better.
As your arrived at the dealers yet?
Yes I know the black one looks better - but that's life .....
Still waiting to hear from dealers, don't think its landed yet. I'm expecting it will be ready either 1st or 2nd week of March.
Passed a Scuba Blue non BE yesterday and thought it looked good. Really wish I had ordered mine in that colour now. Originally ordered black, then changed to red, then changed to Ice Silver. The problem was, as no Audi dealer has an BE's in stock, I couldn't see the colour before ordering. Damn, too late now!
Shame it won't be the 1st March, that's what you deserve after such a long wait. Still, none the less, I'm sure as soon as you pick it up you won't care.
Besides that i'll be jealous seeing all these 11 plates hanging around, mine will now be old
My original order was for Ice Silver with black roof rails, but when VAT went up to 20% I had to save around £550 so Brilliant black it was (I did change my mind about 10 times between black or White) Prob is they all look so good but you can only have one...Passed a Scuba Blue non BE yesterday and thought it looked good.

No it's not old your right, just seems it with the new registrations coming out. Your doing better than me then, I picked mine up October 28th and I only passed 1000miles todayI wouldn't say your car was old now. Its still the lastest MY11 model.
I could of waited for a 11 plate, but that would of ment another 2 months wait and leaving the car down at the dealers for that long. But not really a problem for me as i always have my private plate put on.
Only done 210 miles since i picked up the car at the beginning of Januray. Been very busy at work and I also have a 2nd car which i use to travel from and to work reason for low miles. Hopfully after the next few months i will beable drive it more.
Yep defo an option, its on the audi a3 brochure. Same price as all the other metallics.
Not a BE option though....

1000 miles - Done that this week in a crappy Astra

That's is a lot of miles for 1 week, u must work quite far away?
When I had the A4 hire car off Audi I was doing about 1500 a month and I thought that was a lot.

My nearest Audi dealers are Ayr & Glasgow & none of them have had an BE's in since I ordered in Oct. What did you think of the silver?
