Car was in for an oil change on Tuesday. Just thought I would mention Glasgow Audi have a Black Vorsprung Saloon in the showroom. Interestingly there was no stand next to it with a price but was told it is for sale if anyone is interested.

- Thread starter RS03???
- Start date
I called them up they said it’s sold hence why there wasn’t a price next to it.

I will be collecting next Thursday or Friday depending on when my V5 is back from removing my private plate. If I did not already have an RS3 I am sure I would be demanding the car this weekend but as I do I will let them swap the cars when they want.

No cost to me at all and the finance is £20 cheaper each month - however the value of my car in terms of equity wasn’t as high as I expected it to be which would have originally brought down the monthly cost more.
Also great to be taking the car at pre-inflation 6.2% interest compared to around 10.7% for new cars now.
I’ve been to sign my paperwork today and noticed that Hereford has this https://www.vertumotors.com/used-ca...o-carbon-black-5dr-s-tronic-petrol-hatchback/ for sale.
Collecting mine next Thursday

To be fair it was the service guy who said it was for sale.
If it was mine I wouldn't appreciate a stranger (me) being sat in my car in the showroom!
your a glutton for punishment having 2 8Y's in a row with no difference barring the alloy wheel finish
Or maybe he actually likes the 8Y RS3 so he's happy to have another newer one built to what he wanted and paying less monthly for it. There are some of us out there that are actually happy owning them and don't mind the black interior, as crazy as that might seem.

Don't forget I have red vents, mats, and the red stitched Alcantara wheel which will all be going in the Vorsprung because I do agree the all-black interior is boring. Those changes really elevate the interior but of course, I love the car. Do I wish it was louder like my 8V? yes, I do. But it is fast, the perfect size for my needs, and is a special car which is still rare and as stated is going to save me money on a brand new zero miles car *although I will miss the red brakes.
I don't know why it seems those who actually like these cars have to justify things to certain members on a regular basis. There's no need to be negative with members who are excited about collecting a car they've waited many months for, it's not a good look.
On a different note, I'm sure that you'll enjoy it despite losing out on the red brakes, having to hold back a little bit for running it in will probably be the worst part of ownership.

It’s certainly a car that divides opinion and not just on here….

Totally agree, in the first week Ive had the following...
Misses = hates it far too fast
Sister (40) = OMG why have you bought an old mans car!
Mother = (took her on her weekly shop) Please bring one of you other cars next week
Work colleague = (Kemora grey) Why have you bought such a girly colour
Son(22) = Took it on a 200 mile round trip Tues and is still grinning from ear to ear
Freinds and other work colleagues absolutrly love it...... and so do I so thats all that actually matters!!!!!
you need to change your sister and work colleagues

Thank you, unfortunately the weather has been awful so pics are delayed, will update later in the week. Appreciate your work on this tracker, awesome work.
Received a late email from my dealer tonight, after getting the same status 10 email for a year and a half I have finally progressed to a status 20
Hi what week is build week 18. I assume week 1 would be the first week of the year. Cheers
Hi
Please can you add me to the list.
I ordered a Kyalami Green Carbon Black Sportback on 15th January 2022.
Only option was the apaptive suspension.
I was emailed last Tuesday 14th March to say that the build had commenced.
Based on current leadtimes, when should I expect to pick it up?
Cheers
Jon

Welcome @JONNY RED , Added. Usually 6 to 8 weeks from build start. My guess is you must have been a given a cancelled slot, as there are couple of members from 2021 awaiting build dates.
Also, it could imply @Hxslop- (not active since Nov 21), @martin lo and @Phill6666 may also get a ping from their dealers of build commenced for a batch of Kaylami Green cars. Could only hope.!
Must admit I spotted the spec (colour) and date so I align with the thought (and my hope) that I will get a "ping" sometime soon...
Ordered October 2021, now built and expecting delivery Mid April apparently
fingers crossed!
fingers crossed!
