Good luck. Should be able to push for a bit of a deal. Quite a few to choose from around at the moment.
One thing you do get with an RS4 is a better customer service (there is an RS4 CS person at Milton keynes). Mine is in for some minor work and I have a brand new RS4 as a loan car from Audi MK.... great!..
Well the guy I saw today could not even spell 'customer' if he looked it up in a dictionary ... and certain lost a potential sale.
1) He opened up the conversation with "RS4 mmmm! ... it'll be the last one we sell, defending it with the last one in their allocation and Audi having stopped manufacturing. But yet manufacturers fitted options are still available - I just might be missing something here ... but it did'nt stack up to me.
3) Limited trade-in for my 'beloved' A4 3.0 Q Sport ... an insult in fact and zilch on the £7Ks worth of options bought as new.
4) Finance that was absolutely pathetic compared to the deal I could get through a purchase scheme that the company I work for provides for its employees through a partnership deal with LEX. I reckon I could save £6,200 on finance over 4 years (Monthly payments £70 less and 2,000 less on final 'balloon' payment - not that desperate!)
5) The guy did not even know the APR and 'sipped' me off by saying Audi don't sell finance we sell cars!!!!!
If they perhaps thought of the 'customer' and 'affordability' they might just sell a few more
Anyway 'down but not out' as they say.
PLAN B
1) A4 3.0 Q Sport private sale - See Signature and Avatar if you're interested for details - Exceptional condition and well looked after as the guys on this forum will probably vouch for!
2) Formal quotes from LEX tomorrow - They can deliver end April / Early May no problem.
