Lovely spec. Nice to see someone go for the piano black inlays also, i personally think they look a lot better in the A4 than the standard finish but virtually no one has picked them looking at the second hand market

Thanks abyss, are you the same from audi-sport as well? I have aluminium in my current A3 so I thought I would be different this time. There were some I was looking at on the official audi used car search yesterday. Will have to research some anti-scratch coating though I think, although its only mainly myself in the car with no kids fingers to worry about..

Yes the 150ps is ok in the A4, just diesels are not for me. Had one once not so long ago and I was forever taking it once a month for a thrash.
I think my partner is bored now with the videos I keep watching on YouTube, lol. Plus me saying, it's still in prep

Trust me, waiting for it to leave prep is nothing compared to waiting for it to change to status 38 or 39!

Yeah but I know it, my fourth new car...
Does anyone know if Broadspeed include the finance contribution in their quotes? I've had a look through their T&Cs but can't find anything.
The quotes I'm getting from CarWow for a cash purchase are £1800 more expensive than Broadspeed so I'm a bit dubious. The current A4 finance contribution is £1000 (down from £2500 in Q3), so not quite enough to make up the £1800 difference.
EDIT: I wasn't clear enough. I do not intend to purchase the car via PCP.

Indeed sounds great!

Lovely spec but how did you get a heated front screen, you can't configure the car with one and Audi CS informed me last week it isn't available until later this year...Awaiting my A4 B9 to get to the dealer now!

Hit status 38 on the "yourAudi" tracker today, that in theory means it's either awaiting loading onto a ship, or it's sat on a ship but not left Emden port yet.
Getting so close I can taste it now.

I'm pretty sure that it does.
Why not take the PCP to give you the contribution then withdraw the following day and finance elsewhere?

I got £2500 contribution in my deal, perhaps I got in just before. My car has gone from in preparation to to bodyshop to quality control in two days...
I've considered it, but I don't know how easy it'll be to get two lots of finance so close together for that kind of value. I just bought a house too, so my credit report has taken a bit of a bashing recently.
I used to work for a car financing company so I could probably speak to them. I'd have no trouble getting approved, but I don't think the rate will be that amazing.
In other news, I asked one of the sales people that provided a CarWow quote what the APR % is for HP, and he told me that they don't even do Hire Purchase any more. Sad times

Hasn't hampered me in the slightest (having bought a house in July).

It was seclectable when I specced the car up, however I did this through a 3rd party Ap, so if it's not there i'll be having words
Had a phone call from the dealer today. Delivery arranged for next Friday... taking the MINI away later on that day!
Haven't you only applied for finance once though?

Hi I am trying to send destinations addresses using the Android app for audi and it doesn't seem to work?
The only feature that works with the app my a3 is the car finder.
Any suggestions?

My car went to being in quality control from body shop overnight, means its been birn.
Looking at the latest brochure I can't see any mention of a heated windscreen so maybe its actually been dropped now.

I went to Audi West London again today to have a look at A4 Avant. The new car sales guy said that they would be able to lower the GFV so that I wouldn't have to pay such a large lump sum to keep the car at the end of the agreement. He offered HP at 9.9% APR and without the £2350 contribution :/
Is my maths correct here? Assuming that they can push the GFV as low as £5000, would my total repayment be £35,952.96 for a £36000 car? That makes no sense to me, and I'm clearly missing something:
£436.52 x 48 months = £20,952.96
+ £10000 deposit
+ £5000 GFV
= £35,952.96
PCPCal.co.uk
EDIT: Crap, I know where I went wrong. £36000 includes Audi's contribution (£2350), so the total amount payable is roughly £38,494.56
£489.47 x 48 months = £23,494.56
+ £10000 deposit
+ £5000 GFV
= £38,494.56
