5k discount!!!!!! Christ. I was offered a grand. I've only started negations, but that's a great deal

 

[musicegbdf]

Looks a cracking deal,

 

[Berniemaps]

I got similar money off, 11 % in total (Bristol Audi)

 

[Jassyo06]

Doubt you will get a better deal than that 12% odd discount grab it and run
I was offered a 14-5% discount on a £44k S3 but that was my son selling me thing so your discount is rather frickin great

Definitely a saloon. Saloons have boots and sedans have trunks. My car defo has a boot....

Just ask them where you sign

 

[thebluefox]

That's a silly deal!! Get on it mate!!

There seems to be some good deals out there on the S3 Saloons, highest offered lately is 11.1% but I cannot make my mind up on what model I really want. ? is with this diesel gate what is going to happen? cancelled orders people changing their mind or holding back, so may be a good time to push for a deal in the next few weeks

Weirdly, my dealer were offering almost nothing off the saloons, but were offering discounts on the hatchbacks...

11% is that in a showroom or via online?anyhow take it you won't get much better normally the more expensive the car is bigger discount above £40k expect between 10-12%

Discounts are set by each dealer on how their quarterly targets are being met, and that can apply to bigger cars, far less discounts on SQ 5 than on the S3 saloon I have found so far, seems good discounts on RS Q3 for an RS, both are on line and in a dealer.
Some Dealers will sell a car at a loss to hit a target near the end of their quarter, if a dealer has hit a target, they do not want to sell a car with any discount, there are certain times to go and and get a deal, and try different dealers.
If you found the dealer that was desperate to hit a target at the end of the month, you would get a fantastic deal if you could put a deposit down there and then

Just dam hard work, still not made my mind up now, but with this issue with the Diesel fixing I am not thinking of waiting and seeing what will happen to Audi Car sales.

for a S3 you will get 6% to start with anywhere, yeah its model dependant,new models RS3 you wont get much,buy a stock model you will get a better deal than a factory order,carwow is the place to find out,up here in scotland discounts are lower still

I'm probably too late, but just in case I'll say firstly and most importantly you need to


tell your wife there are no test drives available and that the cars are not too suitable for 'ladies' to drive'. What ever you do do not let 'er indoors behind the wheel.
Ah, also change the colour.

You don't like the Sepang

 

[Scottyg]

Great deal. I'd love an S3 but it wouldn't be SB!

Seriously if you intend keeping the car 3-4 years,ask about the exclusive paints,some of the options you list,dont really benefit you that much,we all love Exclusive Audi Paint colours on here,as well as being different/rare the paint quality is far better...its worth a enquiry at least.Sepang used to be a Exclusive Paint colour when the 8V was first introduced,think it came as a normal paint option MY 14??
