Sounds like bull, more likely a private customer went into Audi and said I want to buy X and that's your car moved to them...one of the reasons I got put off getting a lease deal. I didn't want to commit to handing this (pcp car) back and then being without a car.
Yeah I saw a few posts on various forums with regards to 'delayed' lease orders...hence why I decided to buy this at the end of the pcp....not to mention the added bonus that I'm now getting offered £1,000 more to sell it to a dealer than what I can buy it off Audi finance for
I didn't think that would be the case in January this year! I was getting offered less then than what the final payment was...goes to show how things can change. I can buy it for £18,900 and this is the closest I can find on the net to mine, same year, colour and miles...mine has privacy glass as well: https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202008252905129?
That’s what I thought but when I went to add it on they completely changed my monthly price and deposit, was working out much more than initially quoted. So I just reverted back to original contract.
Guy across the road from me has just changed his 67 plate A4 lease this week, he's now got an A4 estate and I'm sure it has the quattro sticker along the side! Not spoken to him to know the deal he got. I do miss quattro
especially in the winter!
Sorry mate, didn't even realise you were getting this. Look forward to your thoughts on it.Finance docs received today for signing with car now at UK port. Build week was supposed to be last week, so guessing it must have been earlier. Fingers crossed for delivery in the next couple of weeks then!

Very nice car indeed and I'm a "White" fan too. Don't forget a review once you have put a few miles on it mate.New car day is finally here!
Really happy with it, it’s no S3 but who needs 310bhp when it’s parked in the drive working from home
Just might need a longer drive, it feels huge compared to the S3 and the 225xe.

It's a really nice looking car mate, I think the A5 definitely suits that colour.

At least they still feel quality mate. I’m all for petrol now and I might consider a last “hurrah” before the ICE is killed off (SQ, RSQ of some sorts !!).
Finally passed 600 miles this week after nearly 5 months! The joys of home working and COVID restrictions. So difficult to give a proper opinion on it to be honest. Can’t fault the looks, commands it’s space on the drive and has had plenty of complements from the neighbours. As intuitive as the touchscreen MMI is, I much prefer the old style wheel controller. Think it requires to much eyes of the road for my liking, but this won’t be helped by my lack of driving and getting used to it. Start stop system is way better than that found in the S3 FL 8V, where the steering went dead before actually coming to a stop! Although it’s getting 45mpg on the short journeys I’ve made, I can’t see me getting another diesel. Forgot how unresponsive they can be when approaching roundabouts and your not in the sweet spot for pulling away. Never mind, just 19 months till it’s due for replacement lol. But the replacement is going to have to factor in the justification for actually having a car if home working becomes more permanent which is likely.

19months will soon be in, anything peaking your interest
Wow £70k. I can think of a lot of other cars to get. I’m not ready for electric or hybrid yet, another 9yrs of petrol power for meThat’s the stuff proper petrol head lol
Not a clue mate, brother just got himself an Audi Etron Sportback. Tidy motor and quick of the mark, but out my budget at £70k+.
