cabby Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 How does this compare with the list price in % terms ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nordberg Posted April 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 About 12% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 12% is a good discount I think Milo got around 10%? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nordberg Posted April 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Is the Valcona worth it over the standard leather though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techieboy Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 I wouldn't pay extra for it, myself. I really like the standard two-tone Volterra interior in my Special Edition it makes the seats look more like Recarro's. Milo might argue as he had a royal battle with Audi UK about the interior of his Special Edition (they originally described the interior as all black and not two-tone).

the911sc Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 I think I saw that one on the approved used locator. Looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nordberg Posted April 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Just not 100% on Mauritius Blue..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickfrog Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 When is a good deal a good deal though ? Those extras will be worth next to £0 come resale time. So 12% of an over specced car (over specced for residual purposes I mean) is a deceptive headline figure in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nordberg Posted April 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Looks like this is the car for me Hopefully putting the deposit down tomorrow AM with a view to taking delivery before the end of next week - all subject to the figures adding up how I expect them to of course....

Milo Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 [ QUOTE ] 12% is a good discount I think Milo got around 10%? [/ QUOTE ] If you take into account the Valcona leather (which I got for free), it was pushing 12% The spec of that car is great and it is a brilliant price. My only reservation would be it is not quattro. I have done a couple of rapid getaways in mine now and you can still get the ESP lit up in the dry if you really try Having loathed the front wheel spin in my Tdi, I dread to think how much wheelspin the new car would have had in 2WD guise with 50%+ more power and 6% more torque. It could be the B7s aren't as prone to 2WD wheelspin as the B6 but I know I am not the only one who found it irritating. And I drive like a most of the time.

UBM Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 My B7 is fine for wheelspin....but it depends on how you drive it! The ESP saved my bacon a few weeks ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabby Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 When I placed my A4 order recently I tried 4 or 5 online brokers and 2 franchised dealers. Managed to get a little over 10% after quite a bit of haggling. According to one salesman (one who knew he couldn't match my best price so had no need to lie) margins have tightened over the last year and discounts have fallen. 12% sounds good. Was also offered free fitting of my ipod adaptor so thats another 0.4% . Any pics ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bells0 Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 U will quickly get used to it - i've gone from a 3.5 V6 beast to a 1.8T - it certainly a lot slower, but has lowered my blood pressure already - am lovin cruisin about - even more so now the sun is shining!

nordberg Posted April 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 I'm definitely looking forward to a bit more comfort. Four years of falling into the Celica have taken its toll on my back..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
