Payed 29700 for a 65 plate s3 manual,
Hated the gearbox so asked to part exchange for the s tronic and they offered me 30,575 for it. They said it was because I got such a good deal in the first place, i went in to my new deal with £5100 deposit. I was stunned!

Did they give you the same level of discount on the s tronic as they did on the first one!?! If so, great work!!!
 
I changed to s tronic, added mag ride, cruise control, folding mirrors, advanced key, for a extra £21 a month, got just under 5k off the rrp. So yes I'd say I got a even better deal tbh. He said with this level of discount I'll always have positive equity, think I'll change again next year ;)
 
Which dealer was that? I will have some of that!!

I know where your coming from mate.....but the S3 saloon deal is close to £10,000 cheaper than the RS3 deal!!!!

Will be nice to get back into an auto as my knees are ********. Also nice to get 19' wheels and adaptive suspension....

Im very happy with the deal I got.....better than top book trade in and broker beating price on the new car!!

You folks are giving me itchy feet.

I've been in my S3 since January and not enjoying it as much as I should be because I rushed and went for stock spec without the options I wanted.

Might have to see what they can do for me.

since January? don't expect too much, but of course there is no harm in asking! some people aren't as lucky as others.

I got 14% off list so I'm hopeful it wouldn't be too heartbreaking.

Any idea what the immediate depreciation is?

thats a nice discount!
don't expect to break even between 18-24 months, but to be in a half decent position to compromise with each other over another deal.
 
At this rate, you're going to be ordering and cancelling more cars than @Bristle Hound :p
That will take some beating, lol;)
@veeeight @Sandra - Oi you two! :asskicking:
:laugh::laugh::laugh:
Sheesh - 'Twas only 2 cancelled S3 saloon orders before 'I saw the light' ;) :D

You don't really want to know, trust me :(
Catastrophic...

A S3 is a S3 lol content yourself mate with yer car.....it won't depreciate as much as one with all the toys

I'm trying. When I get to drive it properly I love it but when I'm sat in traffic on the way to work I hate to look at the standard screen and when I get there and try and squeeze into a space, I wish I had sensors or camera and folding mirrors.

I think I must have been spoilt as a child!

Other end of the spectrum £40k S3 Sportback 11k miles after one year depreciation is £14,500 so food for thought?
 
Thats off RRP though.
Take 12%(approx 5k) off that for discount.
Still steep obviously

Yes mate, did the deal with Bilal....he seems a nice bloke!

Looking like mid June collection
 
Ouch!!

Ive definitely learnt a lesson on extras......we got badly stung on my wifes (awful) Mini Cooper. £4k of extras meant £490' come trade in 4 months later. Never again.

Now I will only buy extras that I think I will use every time Im in the car.
