I have and I know they are good, but the cars are too large for me, especially Avants, as it is only usually me in the car and I'm wanting to stay below the 40k excise tax threshold. I have looked at all the Audi models but none are suitable and the new A3 is only due out next year which is too late for me...@cuke2u - have you seen the discounts on the a6 Avant black editions?
I’m getting 25% discounts (over £12k off!)
£50k+ car for under £38k - madness !
As I understand there is no built date as yet for the S4 and anyone ordering an S6 delivery is March 2020 (at the earliest). And they both diesels....Hi there, new joiner here.
I've been taking an interest in the new S4 Avant as it seems to tick quite a few boxes for me. I went through drive the deal and specced up one with Navarra blue paintwork, C+S pack, storage pack and the larger Adblue tank. I think the quote came in around £53,200 but with around £10,500 discount it came in at £42,700.
The APR for this model is 5.9% (compared to 4.9 for the A4) and with a £10,800 deposit on a 4 year 10,000 miles per year deal, with a GFV of £21,375 the monthlies came in at £350. I've been using this site to play around with the figures once I found out the discounted price, APR used and GFV after 4 years ( couldn't post the link but just search for car finance PCP calculator and plug in the numbers.)
I'd be interested to hear peoples views on the GFV figure. Seems like a 60% drop in value from the list price and 51% drop in value from the discounted price.
Hope this helps

Are you sure it is a GFV? Afaik GFV's were dropped a while back so now the R/Keeper takes the risk on value at term end. Also the value they give tends to be 50% of the amount borrowed as that way you can't VT until the borrowing period is almost up.Hi there, new joiner here.

A long story fairly well rehearsed on this thread. I ordered a petrol S4 via VWFS in April 2018, WLTP intervened and I held on to my existing VWFS lease (Golf R) ever since. It was a good deal then, has been price protected and, with the transition to diesel / increase in list price, has become an even better deal. Hence why I stayed with it. If I was buying I'd have cancelled long ago but I'm not, so haven't! Diesel actually suits my mileage and journey pattern quite well and will save me a fair amount on fuel costs, so I'm quite content.Have they given you an idea of expected delivery date for that? I didn't even realise they were being offered for lease actually. Can I ask where you got it from?
Cheers

New S4 Avant Diesel driven
The review states lag is eliminated but also says things don't get going until 2500rpm. Well with a diesel that leaves around 1300rpm before max power is reached. Good job it's an auto...

People getting excited by fake noise, wtf is going on in 2019?! Next we will get V10 noises from an i3 and they will lose their minds."I’m even - and don’t hate me here - quite keen on the trick exhaust, which adds a fake, five-pot like burble."
Does he mean that he thinks it's great that the exhaust sounds like the engine has lost a cylinder?
I wonder if there is anything in that space behind the fake exhaust pipes. They need somewhere to put the adblue tank. And I think there's a cost option for a bigger tank?
So it looks like the space where the exhaust box could be is indeed taken up by something else, but its the fuel tank and not the Adblue tank?Best of British......

Purely a cost saving exercise. I'm no engineer but they could of put a proper exhaust on the other side. Or just have none on the other side. Terrible.

It’s not quite the list price (there’s a couple of minor things you get to deduct, usually add up to £150ish from memory) but yes - it’s all about the list price and not the price paid. And yes, all subsequent owners have to pay it until the 5 years (after the first year) are paid.I trust if you buy a brand new car for under £40,000 if the "list price" (not the price you negotiate to buy it at) is over £40,000 you still have to pay the extra £320/year road tax [1] for 5 years (i.e. £1600) on the car? (i.e. for the deals cuke2u mentioned this tax WOULD apply?
If you are the second owner of a car that had a list price of £40,000 do you also have to pay the £320/year for the remaining years to 5 years?
The most I've spend on a car is £22,000 so far, so I'm not familiar with the details of this new car list price tax

Yes to both, if the full on the road retail price is over £40k then the extra excise duty kicks in and as it's on the car then it passes on to any subsequent owners...I trust if you buy a brand new car for under £40,000 if the "list price" (not the price you negotiate to buy it at) is over £40,000 you still have to pay the extra £320/year road tax [1] for 5 years (i.e. £1600) on the car?
