South Hereford GaragesWhich stealer please?
Totally gutted,going to sit on it for a while and see what happens,had my deposit back dealer didn't seem botheredThat's a blow, are you going to try get one via another dealer? I use Nigel at Swindon Audi, he's always pulled something out the bag for me. I live in Cheltenham but wouldn't recommend Cheltenham Audi.
That's poor from the dealer. Might be worth seeing if any dealers have some stock, you'd have thought the back logs would be clearing by now.Totally gutted,going to sit on it for a while and see what happens,had my deposit back dealer didn't seem bothered
Hi
I ordered an A3 in May - was told delivery would be end of August - received a call at the end of June and picked the car up on 30th June!
Yes ordered S3 3 door manual
Didn't realise that. I must have been lucky to get mine then. You'd think Audi would have the capability to push these cars out.This came up many months ago that there would be no 3 door's out until the end of the year.

I ordered in November but the basic car order was placed in October, picked it up in Feb.Yes you are very lucky! I can recall people in spring ordering with build dates of October onwards! No explanation, just delayed.
Agreed, don't use Cheltenham Audi, I'm from Gloucester and used Bristol Audi.That's a blow, are you going to try get one via another dealer? I use Nigel at Swindon Audi, he's always pulled something out the bag for me. I live in Cheltenham but wouldn't recommend Cheltenham Audi.
Found their attitude terrible, was almost like there is enough people with money in Gloucestershire so doesn't really matter how they treat you. I gave them my budget etc and they were coming back with quotes £2/300 higher a month for cars I didn't want. Customer service at Swindon Audi is excellent.Agreed, don't use Cheltenham Audi, I'm from Gloucester and used Bristol Audi.
Can recommend Swindon also. Cheltenham are horrendous for customer service, prices, and service. They don't give a **** about their so called 'customers'.That's a blow, are you going to try get one via another dealer? I use Nigel at Swindon Audi, he's always pulled something out the bag for me.

Yep, my friend and I both ordered cars within a week of each other, Cheltenham never even bothered to phone either of us, Tetbury Audi are good, let us both take a car out for a couple of hours test drive, but Bristol offered the best deal.Found their attitude terrible, was almost like there is enough people with money in Gloucestershire so doesn't really matter how they treat you.

Agreed, I even avoid them for servicing, would rather drive to Swindon.Can recommend Swindon also. Cheltenham are horrendous for customer service, prices, and service. They don't give a **** about their so called 'customers'.
Tetbury Audi are also fairly good. Service prices are still ridiculous though. They tried charging me £300 for just an oil change, classing that as a 'major service'. I said, no a major service is where you change the air filter, plugs, pollen filter etc. They replied with 'no sir your air filter doesn't need changing until 30,000 miles or 3 years'. What utter rubbish, with the dirty roads we all have to drive on.Agreed, I even avoid them for servicing, would rather drive to Swindon.
I think tetbury and Swindon are the same group. Really wouldn't surprise me with Cheltenham.Tetbury Audi are also fairly good. Service prices are still ridiculous though.

I personally don't want to take my car to any Audi dealership for servicing as they're mostly compromised of individuals with careless attitudes who don't actually have any deep technical knowledge and only go by what Vbulletins or VCDS tell them. They neither care for the cars they're working on.
Cheltenham once checked a tyre for me for a slow puncture. They threw the tools used from my boot incl locking nut back in without a care in the world.
What colour have you gone for? Easy enough switching from a new s3 or had to pump a bit in?Had a good experience with Worcester Audi so far since ordering the RS, regular email updates and very friendly both over the phone and in person.
They have agreed to let me have an RS3 out for a day when they get their demo, can't wait for that!
Other than that Cardiff Audi have been outstanding, service department is a shambles but sales can't do enough for you especially Audi Enthusiasts. Sadly couldn't deal with them with the RS due to company policy requiring a 20% deposit with exclusive colours.

How long have you had the S3 mate?Racing Blue Mica
Don't really know what I'm going to get for the S3 yet, hopefully won't be too far apart. Will be trying to sell it sale/return.
How long have you had the S3 mate?
Interesting. How come you're changing so soon just out of interest? I'm at nearly 2 years with the S3, but I loathe it tbh. Interiors beautiful but I just cant stand the bouncy ride, as I mentioned on another post.It will be a year old in October.
My monthlies are quite high, pretty much double the expected monthly depreciation so it's closing in. I had the car £4K under list at £34k, I currently owe £31k on it and I had an offer of £30k 1500 miles ago.
I had one last week for £28,700 to sell to a trader, but he was keen to sale or return it because trade won't give me what I need.
The finance went through assuming the S3 would still be an active car on my financial profile, so worst case I will hang onto it for a couple of months until I get the right amount for it.

You trying to sell yours privately and then pay off the finance? What's the penalty you have to pay for ending early? Where did you get your expected monthly depreciation values from also?
Fair. Personally I don't see the necessity for an RS3 as you say over the S3. It's a bunch of power/torque which could be achieved with a stage 1 remap so really I feel the only difference is the 5 pot noise, but each to their own.I love the car, it's great. Before I had it, it had to be an RS but now I'm in the S3 it makes you realise you don't need anything more than it. But the dream has always been the RS, I'm in a position where I can do it so I've gone and done it
The penalty will just be the finance settlement against the value of the car, whatever the difference is.
When Audi value it on their system, it shows an estimated monthly depreciation figure and I've also had Audi say that my payments will more than cover any depreciation in the car.

Wonder now if I should go in and get mine valued.

i ordered from Hereford same s3 mines been built an is on its way to the UK i ordered start of march?South Hereford Garages
It's difficult to see the need to change because there isn't one, but you have to read all the comments of people that have and not a single person has any regrets! That says it all. It's the whole RS package but yes, the noise is the main factor.
I keep forgetting the RS will be quicker, that wasn't a deciding factor for me in any way shape or form.
I bought my s3 from Bristol Audi, when I visited Cheltenham Audi they weren't interested in my business at allFound their attitude terrible, was almost like there is enough people with money in Gloucestershire so doesn't really matter how they treat you. I gave them my budget etc and they were coming back with quotes £2/300 higher a month for cars I didn't want. Customer service at Swindon Audi is excellent.
You can get a GTI for £250 a month I saw yesterday. Worth considering. Remapped and it'll do the 300 the S3 offersGo and lease a black edition S-Tronic for £270 bangers a month,great deals going on and your not held into a PCP
