    PCP Early Termination!

    I have an Independent garage local to me mate, used them a few year back on my E250. At the time Merc wanted £650 for the service and the indie did it for £300. They could update the service history etc online with Mercedes portal so I kept my warranties.

    PCP Early Termination!

    Hey guys, so I’ve gone to the dark side. Ended up getting a great deal on a brand new 21 plate Mercedes A220 AMG saloon executive edition. Executive pack gives you a 10inch touchscreen media panel instead of the 6/7inch screen, folding mirrors, front & rear parking sensors with rear camera & the...

    PCP Early Termination!

    Spoke to my local Audi garage tonight, they’ve got the car booked at £15,250 depending on condition. They are quite happy to do a deal & use the equity as a deposit on something new. Happy days

    PCP Early Termination!

    Hi everyone, haven’t posted for a while. Basically me & my partner are both bored of the A3, thinking of going to a new A3 saloon or even a Mercedes a250 saloon. I’ve checked our current situation & to settle the pcp it would be £14,158.91. Going off Audi, Arnold Clark, Evan halshaw & we buy...

    Dealer issue - Haldex / rear differential

    I think Audi know that there will always be badge snobbery. Cars are looking more & more like each other these days but you still see masses of Audi’s BMW’s & Mercedes on the road. The Hyundai’s & Kia’s posted above look really smart inside & out, and with that sort of warranty shouldn’t we all...

    Dealer issue - Haldex / rear differential

    Mate, surely that car has to go? It’s a disaster, really does seem like a problem car. Well known in the motor trade that once a car starts to produce issues they keep failing time after time. Yours definitely seems like that car

    Dealer issue - Haldex / rear differential

    You’ve had nothing but bad look with that car, am I right in thinking you also had problems with it back in October time? Sure I saw another post from you about some other problems back then. Goes back to my point about not really wanting to keep the car after the problems you’ve had, god...

    Next model A3

    Nope, same dealer that had already handed me my keys & I was taking it back to get a leak checked. Also the same salesmen who is leaving Audi in the next couple weeks to go travelling. Let’s be honest looking at that very small image of the front end he’s not wrong is he?

    Next model A3

    Well looking at that, my main dealers view of the new a3 looking like a seat Leon seems correct.

    MSI your attitude is terrible. Just saying.

    Dealer issue - Haldex / rear differential

    Personally if it was me I would be thinking of a way of getting out the car but that’s just me, it does my head in when things start to go wrong & it’s already cost you to buy the extended warranty which they aren’t even paying out on. £300 a month for the next 4 year on a car coming up to 6...

    Dealer issue - Haldex / rear differential

    Not sure if it’s an option for you mate, but why you don’t try speak to the dealers manager about coming to a deal on your car against another one they have in stock? Obviously I don’t know if your cars a pcp/hp or bought outright but maybe the dealer could come to some sort of compromise...

    40 tdi quattro

    Some good advice there, I’ve just bought an 18 plate A3 s line so it’s already took the hit on depreciation. GFV is just under 11k after my 4 year term. If your set on an A3 why not look at a 18/19/69 plate that’s already lost some value. You could then also look at something with a good spec.

    40 tdi quattro

    According to my dealer the new A3 isn’t coming until late next year so I’m presuming September 2020? Supposedly he’s seen one over in Germany at an Audi event & he said it looked very similar to a seat Leon

    Dealer issue - Haldex / rear differential

    I feel quite bad for you, I’m guessing If your indie hadn’t been a friend you’d be taking it further by getting independent checks to find out what’s gone on. It’s shame that if Audi refuse to do anything the cost is going to be down to you, you’ve found yourself in a crappy situation

    Herts, how are you getting around at the minute? Have they offered a courtesy car or are you without

    Dealer issue - Haldex / rear differential

    Think you’ve hit the nail on the head. The OP really is in a horrible situation, especially when he classes his indie as a friend. Like you said if it’s Audi’s fault they’ll quite happily pay, but If they think it’s someone else’s problem they aren’t going to touch it. I know if it was an indie...

    Oh dear

    Proving it was them is pretty much impossible isn’t it which is ******* me right off, don’t have a leg to stand on really.

    Oh dear

    What’s even more annoying is when I’ve got back home I’ve decided to give the car a wash because it had salt all over it & I’ve came across a big mark where one of the alloys has been curbed. I only picked the car up last Wednesday & I know for a fact is wasn’t curbed then. It also can’t of been...
