UBM Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Well, I've paid my deposit and I can thoroughly advise getting two deals in the bag and trading one stealer off against the other - hard work, but worth it. Didn't go for Hashs old one in the end - didn't really want to be "incestuos" So, spec as follows : 52 Plate registered in November 2002; Mileage : 25k; (average about 12k per year); Anis yellow Nappa leather interior with black trim and walnut wood dash; Leather 3-spoke sports steering wheel; Leather gaiter; Heated seats; Electric seats; ABS; ESP; Sports Seats; Engine immobiliser; Central Locking; Climate Control; 18" 9-spoke alloy wheels; Front fogs DIS; Symphony; Bose Cruise; Drivers armrest; Alarm; Power Hood (Blue); Electric Windows; This was the pack. Managed to up my trade-in to 16.5k but also got the following thrown in : 1. Free Wind Deflector; 2. 12 months Road Tax; 3. Extended One Year Warranty (Full Manaufacturers and Roadside Assistance); 4. Replace the space saver with a full size 18" 9-spoke spare; 5. Free Delivery and Collection of my old one; 6. Full tank of fuel; 7. Premium Audi Finanace Rate; 8. Rear Parking Sensors fitted; 9. De-badge the 3.0 10. PDI options 11. Something else-need to check! I'll pay extra for the GAP insurance. I was feeling sick at the amount I've lost on the old one (literally), but I'm pleased to say the feeling is passing..... So, application considered or what Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hashluck Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Well done. Looks like that one is only 3-4 months younger than my old one with 5K more miles. You have gained wood trim, sports wheel, Symphony, cruise over mine but lost m/f wheel, fridge, auto-dim and folding mirrors (hmm probably means heated washer jets as well), headlamp wash, Tracker Monitor. You don't mention sports suspension but I assume yours is a Sport? So if the deals were the same then all sounds good. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chav Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 I've tried to emulate caribbean blue but i'm not sure what RGB that is. the original brilliant blue s4 is at the top. i'm sure caribbean blue with the s4 grills would look cool though. its a smart touch to any cab.
