My magnetic ride isn't showing on my tracking system? Is it called something else maybe? It's just showing RS sports suspension.
Any ideas people?

My dealer had 4 sportback and 3 saloons I am sure it was. I was the 3rd I believe making it 1 saloon and 2 sportbacks ordered.
There will be no official discounts, some people will get something but would be more of a dealer contribution for return customers, contacts, previous issues or sometimes just a little bit of luck.
I was asked what deposit I wanted to leave, they suggested £1k after I asked whats the norm - which was fine with me.
What happens if you go to a dealer and the allocation has gone? Can the car not longer be ordered from that specific dealer or will they get a fresh allocation at a later date?
And would anyone know how long there is to order an RS3 before the run is stopped?
Final spec nailed down (Finally)
High Gloss Black Blade Wheels (255/30/19 Staggered) - £1095
Panoramic Glass Sunroof - £1,075
Sports Exhaust -£1,000
Comfort & Sound Pack - £995
Gloss Black Styling Pack -£800
Front Supersports (Lunar Silver/Black Headlining) - £795
Ara Blue Crystal - £775
Privacy Glass - £375
Red Brake Calipers - £325
Extended Leather Interior - £275
Folding Door Mirrors - £275
TPMS - £250
High Beam Assist £150
Reversible Mat - £65
RS3 Saloon -£45,250
Options Value = £8,250
Total = £53,500
Family Discount = £4,182.37
Cost of Car to me = £49,317.63
Finance wise..
£49,317.63
£23,000 - Deposit
£26,317.63 - Credit
£26,261.80 - Final Optional Payment / GFV 3yr Value
35 payments of £133.46 (Essentially this is just financing the GFV for 3yrs at 6%)
Overall Cost to me = £23,000 + £4,671 in monthly payments = £27,671.
£9,223 per year / £768pm.
I was trying to keep spec pretty sensible (£50k) in order to keep depreciation at bay but with the family discount that I'm getting, I can't complain too much. My discount works out at 7.8% in real terms against the cost of the list price but I'm told the dealer discount is actually closer to 10% due to the fact the dealer cannot discount the £1,885 OTR costs or the 20% VAT element
Paying around 70quid a month interest on the GFV I beleive.

indeed they are!
I see. It thought you couldn't go that close or on the GFV. Figured you needed to borrow something above the gfv
Excuse my lack of knowledge, never done pcp before and doubt it will this time but nice to know a little more.
My dad did his car on pcp but when it's 0% it's crazy not too

Do you think you'll be modifying in any way, whether it just be a tuning box again?The Alu pack is too stand out at the front for me, I prefer the look of the high gloss black and it fits my theme well with the wheels, privacy and the Pano roof. I still do prefer the chrome tips, however, I think an RS3 has to have the sports exhaust.
It's probably one of the must haves people will be looking for in the 2nd hand market too so it will be easier to sell and should command an additional premium over a car that doesn't have it.
In addition, it sounds great and I don't think I'll touch the aftermarket stuff (which will save me money there) I read a few posts from Aoon who seems to really rate it and has went back to it from a Milltek setup too. Keeps it warranty safe standard aswell.
I'll just have to make do with the black tips haha. They look nice up close but when 30-40m behind an RS sports exhaust, they do get lost in the rear diffuser whereas the chrome tips stand out.

Now that's what I call a good excuse to tune..."the pano roof weighs an incredible 25kg so I must increase power by nearly 50%"!Yes, I'll most probably be putting a TTE625 hybrid into it and tuning for around 575 to keep it on the standard internals. Tuner will be MRC. I'll need that extra bit of oomph seeing as I give in to temptation and ordered the heavy Pano roof.
I wouldn't use a tuning box on the RS3, it was my only option a few years ago when I had my S3 as there weren't any tuner maps available when I had it.

I'm close to pulling the trigger on an MRC stage 1 map for mine. Spoke to Doug and know their work is second to none. It's just the inevitable warranty issues that are making me think twice. Thoughts?
Cool. Dealer said my build week has come through already as week 37 which is first week in Sept. only issue is they may have to hold the release as it may end being delivered before the official launch date. Odd
no idea even the salesman wasn't sureWhat is the official launch date? This in the U.K.?

Are ceramic brakes worth getting?
Thinking maybe more in resale value?
Won't be tracking the car and never had them on any other car.

I was always of the understanding they were 8 piston.Does anyone know how many pistons are in the standard callipers? Have seen a review stating 8 and another stating 6?

Just tried to add the Extended Upholstery Pack to my October 16th build and I have been told that the car is "no longer amendable" due to it being an RS and and exclusive colour.

Nah that's nonsense, I altered mine last week and added TPMS! You can alter it up until the date it is locked in which won't be until late September.
To be clear on this, dealers normally won't change anything on your chosen spec once you reach two weeks (approx) prior to your build date. Obviously the factory cannot alter build requests, as the parts have already been ordered in for your vehicle. Some dealers can't be ***** to do the necessary paperwork and will try to blow you away with it can't be altered, when there is infact still time to amend the spec. You just gotta be cute on when your placed your order and the proposed build date to know if you're being brushed off...........
Supposedly it is a 2 minute job to change spec, I don't understand why they are lying on this occasion.
