    Buy now or buy facelift?

    I do prefer the facelift - I prefer the new lights (although not bothered about them animating), the extra bits of trim and the faster MMI so if there's only £30 in it then id go for that. It's trying to find out what that price difference is, if it's anywhere near an extra £100 then it's not...

    Buy now or buy facelift?

    Thanks for the advice both, I’ll definitely do a check on equipment for current vs facelift now you come to mention it.

    Buy now or buy facelift?

    Hey, so I’m looking for advice on what people would suggest to do when it comes to getting into an A5 at the moment (I’m coming towards the end of an A3 PCP at the moment). On the one hand there are some really great lease deals for the A5 Sportback Black Edition right now that expire in April...

    Facelift A3 2.0 TFSI First service pricing

    Just rang up Birmingham Audi for my 1.4 TFSI first service (19 months old) and they quoted £357 without pollen filter. I remember reading in the past on here people getting the price around the £280 mark after getting price matched with written quotes from independents but they have to be...

    Audi Finance Settlement Quote & Valuation

    Spoke to them on the phone and they said my quote had been generated but had not been sent out in error. They were great over the phone actually. The figure was much better than I expected too. Thanks for the advice all. Decided i'm keeping the Audi for now as I really don't feel done with it...

    Audi Finance Settlement Quote & Valuation

    My A3 deal was okay, but were talking sub £300 per month for the RR Velar and 1 month deposit, so would be madness not to try and get it! If not now, I can keep the A3 (because I'm still enjoying it and cant fault it much really) and do it next year or later in the PCP. Was just struggling to...

    Audi Finance Settlement Quote & Valuation

    Range Rover - the employee discounts at the moment are doing high spec Velars for the price of a Ford Focus on 1 year deals due to really high residuals and employee discounts. People driving past my A3 in £70k plus cars paying less than me per month is a big sales machine.

    Audi Finance Settlement Quote & Valuation

    Thanks guys - I filled in a form on their website for the settlement figure and that was useless! I'll give them a ring :icon thumright:. I contacted my Audi dealer to see what they would offer me trade in, they asked me a few details but after that never responded. The WBAC was £7k lower than...

    Audi Finance Settlement Quote & Valuation

    Hi all, This could technically fit in any part of the Audi forum but I have an A3, so I apologise if I'm in the wrong place. Some crazy crazy deals have come up at work for some discounted cars and it's got me thinking about coming out of my PCP early, but I need both a settlement quote and a...

    Facelift 1.4 TFSI cylinder on demand 150 PS 6-speed?

    I have the 1.5 COD (in Saloon A3 instead of Sportback) and average about 40-41 mpg with it always in Dynamic and driving it on mostly 70-90 mph roads, so definitely room to get more mpg out of it. Love the engine, had a 1.0 140 PS on a Fiesta before this and you can notice the different with...

    Facelift Data service not available

    I usually get this message pop up when I drive in an area where there's is no signal. I just choose cancel and it sorts itself out once it finds signal again. The only other time I have had this is the first time I had the license on my Audi Connect extended, it had logged me out without...

    Facelift 1st Service 1.4 COD

    Oh it is actually 19,000 on the variable? That's better than I thought. I don't envy your commute. Will keep my eyes on this thread to see what option you go for in the end, it seems like you're getting massive variation in prices which is worrying.

    Facelift 1st Service 1.4 COD

    How long have you had the car? I have the same engine and I remember it being 2 years or a certain amount of miles (1500?) before 1st service is due so 19,000 sounds quite a lot. I'm approaching 1300 and thinking about booking one in next couple of months.

    Facelift To lease again or not, that be the question

    You act like these PCPs are a large portion of the monthly income, as though everyone taking them out is irresponsible and has no disposable income. Personally it's less than 15% for me and the people I know. It's not a Ferrari! Some food bills, mortgage rates or fuel bills going up is but an...

    Facelift To lease again or not, that be the question

    Very true, but we are dealing with fixed rates here rather than variable so peoples monthly car payments aren't going to change until it's time to start a new deal. At which point they should walk away and buy something more affordable. Problem is manufacturers won't want many of their PCP...

    Facelift To lease again or not, that be the question

    I agree job/financial security should be an important (or the most important) factor, I've been taking it for granted that people would have already weighed that up when looking at £30k + cars no matter what payment method, but I suppose with a PCP it's easier for people to forget if you just...

    Facelift To lease again or not, that be the question

    Hey, I only said I've not heard of these old fashioned PCPs where they adjust it so as though you're going to buy it at the end. It makes sense that these days they are made for renting, not for buying. If you want to buy the car, PCP is a bad option (but then that's always been obvious. You've...

    Facelift To lease again or not, that be the question

    Ah ok, I’ve not had any experience of this on the PCP front.Large deposits on a pcp kind of seems like missing the point of them to me, but I can see how they could make things easier if you’re planning on coming out early. And if we’re talking bigger bucks like RS3 or RS4 then I can see why you...

    Facelift To lease again or not, that be the question

    Definitely good to hear more opinions, especially when they are backed up with interesting insight. I’m always helping friends/family with car purchasing these days so the sort of points raised here definitely come in handy when working out what’s the best method for them. Personally I’m hoping...
