S3ENVY Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 I was sent these vouchers by Jeremy Hicks after my local Audi dealership practically destroyed my new S3 before collection! They're valid for 18 months and can be used towards pretty much anything, however, I have the urge to spend them now and wondered if anybody has any suggestions as to what I could buy, as I can't seem to think of anything useful!

Nelson_R32 Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Interesting; theres not much you can really go for really on an S3. I take it you already have things like Centre Armrest etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pincher Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 If they are valid for 18 months, can you use them for a Service? A bit boring but they are always an unwelcome cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S3ENVY Posted February 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 I was 95% sure you'd be the first to reply! Yep, I pretty much have every conceivable option on the car really. The only thing that I need is a cradle for my mobile, but as they're only £100-ish I need another £400 worth of goodies or I'll have to forfeit the balance. Damn things aren't transferable so can't sell them either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] I was thinking along those lines too, however I'm putting such little mileage on the car at the moment it'll be nudging 18 months before it needs a service, but as you say it's always an unwelcome cost!

Nelson_R32 Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Well you can always wait until your car needs it's first Service? You'll no doubt need some tyres at the same time so a pair of front tyres and a first Service should loose you £500 nicely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S3ENVY Posted February 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 You've got all of that to look forward to aswell now buddy! Speaking of tyres, what is your new .:R wearing? My first S3 came with Bridgestone Potenzas and the 2nd has turned up with Michelin Pilot Exalto 2's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mook Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 I reckon you've all fallen into the murky marketing trap. "We fecked up big time, but here you go with some vouchers so we can sell you stuff at list price which cost us cost price, so the total cost to us is only about £200 and that's worth it just to keep you as a customer" Keep them and wait until you replace a car. Neg the deal and then, right at the very last minute, throw the voucher into the mix... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason they gave me a new car and the vouchers is because I have some contacts in the motoring press who put the frighteners up Audi Press. The vouchers were really just a bribe to shut me up. Wont be changing my car for the forseeable future and unless an RS3 is released before the vouchers expire, next stop will be Porsche territory.
