Thanks for the info, the SB delivery dates are consistent with the Audi NZ news for the SB, although they are indiciating the saloon will be around April in NZ. We'll have to see how accurate that is -- it's only a couple of months away now anyway.
 
Well that means if you get in early with an order you should see the car by august all being well.......it's starting to feel more real now!!

Kid you not, was close to signing for a used one tomorrow that I've found. This will probably make me now wait. I've waited a year, I can do another if I know it's coming.

I know the feeling I was looking around too as I'm getting itchy feet. What colour & spec was you looking at?

It would be interesting to know where the photos at the top of the forum came from.

Looks good too mate :)

I think black pack looks more aggressive whereas the alu pack adds a touch of class ... so depends which look you prefer.

I'm liking the red car above though .... I could be tempted to that colour combo :sunglasses:

Wouldn't do red again mate had 2 reds in a row.....but its a good while away and it's going to be very very expensive to buy and run Road tax etc All Audi's have just risen by almost 2% so....ergo

I'm thinking RS3 SB FL Nardo with Gloss Black Styling Package (PAH). Just working through the RS3 Sedan price/option list (which I assume will be very similar for the SB)...I can see I'll end up with a fairly fully spec'ed car.

Yeah .... funnily enough the price 'hike' was going through my mind too ... 2% increase, general increase of who knows £2k say & tax increase plus new extras like VR dash etc ... it's gonna be an easy £50k I reckon with all extras ! Plus little or no discount !

Yeah mate you'll get the mandatory £2500 Audi deposit contribution at most, it's not really the initial deposit/options price etc that slightly bothers me it's the running costs doing 10/12k miles per annum that l do....wait and and see mate

Running costs aren't bad mate in terms of petrol ... no more than my S5 was although you do need super unleaded.

Servicing will be dearer I'm sure ... will advise after March :)

Road tax is gonna be dearer of course for cars over £40k

Tyres gotta be similar money as is insurance.

The RS3 ain't that much more than a S3 or S5 to run imo mate .... not massively more anyway .... & not considering the package & performance you get :sunglasses:

Those pictures are pretty old and predate the problems with the coolants and such.
On our German forums we are pretty sure those dates are not correct anymore.

So how old do you think it is? With respect to the RS3 SB FL it agrees with what the Audi NZ dealer bulletin issued just before Christmas 2016.
 
Can't find the original post anymore.
Some people are convinced that this picture is older than 6 months.
 
No it doesn't.
But since that picture probably predates the coolant problems it is possible that those dates are not correct anymore.

Why do you think it's old? Is there a date on the picture?

Are the coolant problems more recent than the NZ dealer pre-sales doc from the OP? If not, that'd be the most recent (accurate?) info from Audi right now and prob the best indicator for the relevance of the earlier leaked release schedule.

The NZ dealer bulletin (which indicates RS3 SB FL deliveries are expected 3rd quarter 2016) is dated 13 December 2016.
