It is tempting but I've pushed for a bit more I can only try so I'll see what the reply is tomorrow
Tracking our new RS3?

When I test drove the 8R yesterday I had to take my passport , driving license , and a utility bill to prove my identity which I thought was a bit much until
they told me they gave a test drive a month or so back in a 8R and the sales guy had a knife pulled on him at the lights and was told to get out
the 8R was never seen again .
Its £278 a month mate which is nothing for an Rs3 its the balloon that is the sticking point as I always go into a deal with a view to
own the car out rite .
Or the other option is sell the S3 put a big lump in and go Hp .
This December 1st deadline isn't helping either .
Saw an article about the Formentor getting the 5 pot, back in March. But as mentioned no RHD
I’m the same - keeping my RS3 4 years helped enormously financially. If you can go in with the mindset of keeping this RS3 for 4 years or more then it does make HP a very sensible option imo.
Not sure why you get hung up on the balloon mate? Surely higher balloon = lower monthly so you are paying less (admittedly plus interest), then when time comes you HP or personal loan the balloon
he’s probably like me Nev & just likes the thought of a lower ballon that’s not too high at the end .. if the intention is to pay it off / keep the car rather than part ex
I do get it, but suppose it is swings and roundabouts. Lower monthly or higher with HP. We all know PCP means punters get into cars they normally wouldn’t be able to afford, but if you want to own after the 4 years then obv. HP the way to go, but I would probably go PCP, with decent deposit and put away cash towards balloon (if I want to own which I haven’t for sometime)
My JCW is £270 p/m with a £7k deposit and £17k balloon.
Had confirmation from my dealer today that my Carbon edition saloon is starting build next week!!
This is a local guy to me, let's see what he thinks.
Like I said in the RS3 Colours thread, that Kemora has the blue carbon brake caliper option on a UK car that we apparently can't spec so things are sped up. Royally p!sses me off. Pretty sure the last time I checked there's no microchips inside a blue caliper versus a grey one.
Don't be one of those 2 space users, more likely to get some idiot targeting your car. Lovely car though.Good morning
yes. 2 spaces in the corner of the shop car park
Don’t worry, just sat in it waiting for the mrs to do her bits and bobs
My cars never been targeted for sitting in two spaces. That’s probably because it’s at opposite ends of the car park from the shop though.
Just comes across that you think your car is more important than everyone else's. And some people are sad enough to vandalise a car based on that unfortunately
Don't like that colour and wheels at all. Headlights look massiveLol another custom spec

So why park in 2 spaces then if your at the other end of the car park?
I personally think you just look like a tool if it’s a modest car. Anything well over 100k is somewhat understandable...each to their own but as you say, asking for trouble.
That's because it is more important than most others. Not because it costs more, but because it's better cared for and looked after.
Because you still get the odd other cars that come and park next to you and it just takes a mistake or a bit of wind to catch a door and it's game over, and most importantly because it's MY choice.
Yeh, do as you please, il just call you a f * * * y as you walk past lolBecause you still get the odd other cars that come and park next to you and it just takes a mistake or a bit of wind to catch a door and it's game over, and most importantly because it's MY choice.
Agreed.
Attracts peoples anger towards you / the car.
Just takes one idiot who’s had a bad day etc to walk down it with a key out.

Doesn’t solve it tho, as some tw*t will still park next to you too close. I have never straddled two spaces, as I personally think it is selfish, but have parked close on the line as far away as possible, only to come back to have a camper or rusty white van parked right next to me!
But as you say, it is your choice, just don’t come cry in here if/when some tool at best lifts your wipers or folds mirrors or at worst keys or dings your pride and joy.
No more important, people just think the driver is a kn0b with an ego. I always park end row or far away, it drives the missus mad, but I wouldn't think of taking 2 spaces.
Lol that happened to me once, brand new type R she literally just bought.
I went to the local shops and came out to a swage line with a dent in it, they were very sharp lines on the FN2 that rang along door handle height.
Can’t allow for stupid people doing stupid things.
Came back to a car once many years ago that had a mummy putting her little darling in the child seat, with her rear door rubbing against the side of my car, she didn’t see any harm in it
so I pretty much snapped on the spot and opened my door right into hers, closed it and wound the window down saying ‘there’s no harm in it’ then drove off. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
My Spec is £278 p/m with a £22k deposit plus a balloon of £24937
The way the 8V values shot up you could get 10k equity when selling.

I dont know whether to be happy or sad 
My build week was 16, then 8, Yesterday I asked them to alter the order to swap Leather for Dinamica seats.
Apparently the order cannot be changed as my car has been brought forward to Build week 49, that's a Vorsprung Sport back in Tango

I find that unlikely in reality, but I'd be really happy for you if it was actually the case! Can't wait to see some Vorsprungs and Carbons actually appearing.I dont know whether to be happy or sad

I got sent a Audi memo yesterday it said even though a build is not locked changes to spec cannot be altered if the customers request falls within a certain period of time before build commencement non amendable was the wordI dont know whether to be happy or sad

Hi Mike
We went to change the car yesterday and it wouldn’t allow us I have spoken to the factory sales office this morning and the cars build week has come forward to 49 therefore it won’t allow us to change anything on the car now.
Thanks
