I dont believe it
I picked this car due to the low emissions and the 13% BIK tax bracket. Coming from a £ 19.6K golf which is currently in the 22% tax bracket I was going to save about £ 45 a month in going for the Audi which is a far better car, more desirable, economical and cost another 6K or so over the golf.
Just checked the Audi website and they now list this car with 17% BIK as cameron "the robbin b&&&stard" and his band of merry men who rob from the poor and give to the rich has shuffled the bandings. I now find that this car will cost me just as much a month in tax as the golf. Not the end of the world but can you imagine if you had just got your first company car and had run the Audi for 12 months for the govt then to deduct £ 45 a month extra is tax ! Thats a fairly hefty pay rise at 40% tax which you have to get just to come out with the same money every month. About an extra grand from what I calculate.
After months of following this thread I've decided to post. I ordered a 170 s-tronic for my first comp car in September 2011. I started reading post and thought I might have to wait until March for the car. Ive been told to expect it early June. I don't understand why it's taken so long. I spoke to a random person who I saw I'm McDonald's in Milton Keynes yesterday drivinga white 140 BE. She said she got it within 10 days of walking into the dealership!!!
Nice one Schoey. Looks like there will be at least one A3 BE knocking around near me. Still dont see many. I thought I spotted one in Tesco the other day but when I got closer is was just an S Line with the old type wheels on it.

Thanks for the welcome. It's been interesting over the last few months seeing some people being lucky and others like me waiting an eternity for what is after all not a high end car. Does being a personal buyer make a difference?
Mine is a company car thru Leaseplan also but I don't know who they have ordered it thru.

Guys My wait is finally over. The BE arrived on on Monday afternoon. I drove it 150 miles from head office, a great drive. Hey those DRL's are fantastic in getting those slow drivers out of the way!
I will post a thread on the forum with more pics.
Well done mate. It looks fantastic. Found out yesterday that Mine is being delivered on 28th. As you can imagine I'm quite excited.... Jammy g!t
