If you intend on paying it off on day 1 why not just negotiate a discount on the car and pay that, saving x% interest. You won't get the 1,500 contribution and 2 services but that is kind of cancelled out by paying whatever rate you managed to agree.

That's nice but it's not a sportback, and I won't be using pcp. Speaking of that though is it possible to cancel and pay off the amount in full, keeping the benefits and avoiding paying interest!? Cheeky but I've read about other people doing something similar.

Btw you can just about see the handbrake button damage in the pic below. Anyone know if its easy to fix or find a replacement part. I would expect them to fix this before selling or at least include it in any discount.

I'd love to see some examples of 2k cheaper 184 quattros. Care to share any, I've certainly been looking!

To be fair it is a bit below the similar base spec from an Audi approved, but then you also have to take into account for the extra year and mileage. Here is the link: http://m.lodgemotor.co.uk/used-car-audi-a3-hatchback-104304

It's an a3 s-line, s-tronic, 4wd 2.0 tdi 184PS comes with comfort / tech pack+ and b&o, heated seats! When I said rare I meant in the sense that most Audi approved used cars at the same price on the market right now are the non Quattro model with 150PS without the Audi connect and b&o extras...

What would you think to buying a used car (2014, 20k miles) from a non-Audi dealership? Went to see one the other day and price is in line with Audi approved nearly new cars. About £6k depreciation from buying new at 30k. It's had one oil service at 18k miles in Feb this year. I'm tempted...

Finger on the trigger..

No all good, I'm looking to buy 2nd hand so I'm restricted to whatever auto trader throws up and the above seem to be the most common (apart from Daytona!)

Just wondering what everyones favourite colour is, any comments on practicality/cleanability(!) of these colours is welcome too. For me it would be 1. Daytona Grey, 2. Scuba Blue, 3. Ibis White.

Thanks all for your replies. If it's so common and can be fixed with a bit of metal paint whenever it flairs up again I don't think its something to worry too much about. If I was to go with this car i'd make sure the dealer cleans it up before delivery!

Saw this nearly new a3 1yr old yesterday (14k miles) still awaiting prep and wondered if I should be concerned about the rust/corrosion shown in the picture. It was only this bad on the rear left wheel I think. Other wheels looked OK/normal. Salesman said not to worry (obviously) and that it...

Yep I'm on carwow had a few quotes but the cheapest from Coventry is 27,700 It's 12% off at the mo

Hi guys, Thanks so much for the opinions, I know a lot of you have suggested going for the quattro and of course I would love to with the 184, however it is the missus car and she doesn't want to budge on the S-tronic. I suppose we can always add the DTUK box later if we want an extra 50PS or...

I have a quote for £26,900 on Audi code ACY46SHY (2.0TDI 150PS S-tronic 5DR) which is £30,575 OTR including £2,750 of extras so a discount of £3,675. Delivery in late March 2015, I'm wondering if this is a good deal or whether to hold out for more. The quote is from drivethedeal, however...
