Daveotto and 97catalunya are both right, it is a mugs game to buy a new car so heavily loaded with extras. I wanted an A3 Quattro with Audi Sound system, Auto, Metallic,Sat Nav, Rear parking sensors, lumbar support and comfort Pack. When I went to order this car I was initially told October delivery, thenI went to pay a deposit I was informed December or perhaps January delivery!! The trouble is I could not find a dealer to supply one sooner, everything was 'estimated'. Of course the new car in January does not go down in price, but the value of my jaguar does!! On review I decided to bite the bullet and buy a June manufactured A3 on display in the showroom with a £2500 discount. However, had to accept accessories I did not want. Overall it cost me £1600 more than I budgeted to spend, but received B&O, Tech Pack, digital radio and heated seats for my trouble. The only item missing was Lumbar support for my bad back! I do not smoke, drink and my only luxury in retirement is regular cruises. I enjoy my cars and at this price I am going to d**n well going to enjoy this one!! Incidentally, my old XF gave me 42mpg on a motorway run and has averaged 31 mpg over three years, so not too bad?
