Earlier in the thread it was mentioned that the LE may have had phone box lite dropped… I couldn’t get that confirmed on my car but was wondering if you knew now yours is actually built?
ahh, no buddy no news so far. I did ask for the spec sheet on the 12th however didn't get it sent over to me.... may chase that up!

@Mr Freeze I’ve got an angle on paying for exclusive paint, but you might not agree.
So… on basis that you would get one of the colours for £575…then going exclusive is only £1825…bargain.

Ok maybe not, that’s how I look at it anyway, but some muppet at dealership would probably wash it with the grit filled bucket/sponge combo as d then the dealership shrug their shoulders and go looks ok to us. They really have no concept treating paintwork with any care.
I was Uber paranoid when my car had to go into the dealership for a service but Hamilton Audi did take Heed of what l said...l find getting new tyres fitted to be more stressful than some inflicted swirls

Fair enough, I’m just comparing it to mine that’s sitting at £540 a month for a Vorsprung with the dynamic pack and a £5.5k deposit.

You say they’re not the cheapest, but compared to some other cars they’re really not bad. Been looking at the ŠKODA/VW/Audi electric offerings and they can easily be as much as the RS a month with a similar deposit and I know which one I’d prefer to have sitting on the drive.

I could imagine your balloon payment is a big one :grimacing:

I did get the number slightly wrong, it’s more like 600 a month as I said before. Think the balloon is £32k?

I'm £580 (roughly) per month for the Carbon Saloon with C+S pack. £8k down and that's a decent deal in itself.
Was that offered from Audi? That’s less and month with less deposit I was offered

Yes. Third new car from the same sales exec and dealership since 2017. Think he got over the fingers for it lol.

Look forward to seeing a confirmed build date. I'm through a broker so I'll probably hear about the Vorsprung cars starting build on here before I actually get a message from them to be honest.

I have owned every car outright I have had before or at the end of the deal . PCP is a clever way of getting people into cars they can't really afford imho .

Your order is our priority
Your order has been received but it might take a little longer to be built than previously anticipated.

You may have heard about the global shortage of semiconductor chips. This is a problem affecting multiple industries, including car manufacturers.

We’re sorry to say this means your order may be delayed. Please be reassured we’re doing everything we can to complete your order as quickly as possible.

We’ll notify you by e-mail when your car is ready to leave the factory, and your Audi Centre will then be in touch to let you know when it’s due to arrive with them.”

Not seen any at all, been scouring the Web for ages looking for them too. Not too convinced by that image as it's overexposed, every confidence the real thing will look awesome when it arrives.

I thought the same, like its got a funny edit. Any turbo blue Audi I've seen looks darker than that to me. I just want to see one in blue because I've put in an order for a sportback in Riviera (a colour I've always loved and I think a bit brighter than Turbo) and would be nice to get an idea.

Well done for managing to get an update… Audi keep telling me their system is down so won’t give out any update as it would be inaccurate whilst my dealer may have vanished off the face of the earth as not heard anything from them for a couple of weeks… presumably since there is no update.

That does look lovely. There was a turbo blue Q3 in the car park when I went to the dealer but didn't get a chance to see it in the sunlight - it was dirty and a horrible day which didn't help haha

Riviera really suits the sportback it's a less serious design than the saloon hence it gets away with bright colours easier....you do know you could have more of a wait for an exclusive over a standard paint option
