I do agree but also think the black ones add a certain class. In my opinion, with a colour like Navarra, the black suits far better.
Right, buying new is out the window...

Still sounds expensive for an older car, but yes very good spec.
Ask them to red0 the figures with say £3k deposit.
Also if it is a 65 plate (2015-2016), you will be out of warranty in say 18 months, as no extended warranty option was selected.
What was the exclusive colour, would be good to see this one.
Yeah I did think that it's priced at £28,900 or something but the final payment is way less than a new car.
Yeah it only has 13months warranty I believe but I'll probably remap it etc after the first year.
They don't know the exact name of the paint but they're finding out. They think it's a "racing blue". I'll try attach a picture
I got quoted just under £400 pm with 3k down on a brand new black edition saloon with a couple of extras! A lot of what you listed above is standard kit anyway. B&O sound is standard on the black edition S3.
As for depreciation, mine is now 2 years and 2 months old, px price vs bought price £6.5k which I thought was ok!!!
Just to give you an idea:
Using the S3 black edition s-tronic, via coast2coat it comes out at £34,506 take your 7k deposit from that = £27,506 to finance. Alter the figures on the Audi site to show that finance figure =

Oh that must be why. I just bought a used one too but my APR was 5.9%. Also what term were you quoted on?
it is indeed Mystic Blue....
Here is Racing Mica.....
They can go lower mate...on the APR around 6% ask them,but that aside that's a high Spec S3.....In a face lift car it would be a £43k car
Have you thought about looking at the banks? Some of them do a pcp deal at a lower APR.
I think they said that they'd be using black horse for the lower APR as Audi finance can't go that low
At the end of the day mate,all of us on here are here only to guide and help,but come the nitty gritty, its all down to you and the dealership,All us keyboard warriors will be happy as long as your happy,but to be honest that exclusive paint aint worth the extra dosh....too similar to navarra...keep searching

Thought I'd just login to the bank and have a look at a loan of £22k taking into account the £7k deposit you mentioned and the car being £28,900.
Over 48 months it's £505.58 per month at 4.9% (obviously all of us may have different interest rates offered to us depending on circumstances etc) but for that price you'd be buying the car rather than ending up with a lump needing paying at the end.

I didn't ask, it was just the rate they offered me to begin with. I guess different dealers have different rates. For 16k miles a year, I don't think its too bad. Its up to you at the end of the day, if you really like the car, go for it. If not, keep looking and I'm sure you'll find a better deal.
They do a straight loan for the full amount OR a pcp deal like you buy in the showroom.
Thanks for the advice all 
Will be speaking to them again Monday but pretty set on this car because of the spec. Comparing it to other cars on auto trader it isn't priced too badly just the APR that's a bit of a killer.
Will try get them down on price again Monday and give my bank a call see what offers I can get from them as interest is much lower.

Blimey that;s expensive. I'd sell you my S3, July 2014, Sepang Blue Sportsback in stunning almost as new condition, with a genuine 10,150 miles on the clock. One retired owner for £24,000
Thanks for the offer but I think I'll go with the Audi dealer for the warranty and spec of it. Cheers anyway
