Of course it would be, the introduction of the new model will have a large downward effect on the value of the newer versions of the old model.

It is madness to spend so much money on a car which is now soundly in the four-figure price bracket for the earlier ones, IMHO.

but am I really losing out in the end if i swap it for a new MK3 TT in 3 years?

Also I know that you can get cheap earlier TTs now, but buying second hand I would be looking at 2010 or newer for the 2011PS engine and would be looking at an S-line or Black Edition, preferably quattro too. This starts pushing me much closer to the price that a new one with a 6k discount would cost now anyway.

ask them for a PCP quote and take note of the GFV. Id do it on PCP and see of how much of the future risk they are willing to take. I did the same on an A6 a few years ago which worked out well, when the new one was coming out but that was a mid life facelift not an entirely new car.

Good lord, are these really still worth NINE THOUSAND POUNDS?!

Only because they didn't make many 8p2 facelift V6's. Most of the ones on the market at all times are the twin grille 8p1's. There are so many changes with the facelift though rather than just a front grille, even the steering wheel size differs (and is much better).

Any pics/thread of yours? Is it an 8p2?

nah never bothered as was only bought as a cheapy run around when I sold my S2000 :)

It's an early one, 53 plate, had it 6 months now and done 10k or so (forget how much, bought it on either 84 or 86k and it's on 96 now) and it's been brilliant.

It's only a sport in Morro Blue, DSG, standard 17inch wheels, grey/light interior, heated seats, xenons, BOSE, cd changer in glovebox plus the 6cd in dash.

If I end up keeping it then tempted to fit an RNS-E.

Yeah a newer one looks a bit fresher, mainly the DSG shifter as the later you go the better they look, but for the money I couldn't complain.

Only downsides have been the paint is a bit tatty and needs freshening up, been quoted £300 to get it looking all smart again so will get that done this year.

Otherwise been great, came with all history from the same dealership, previous owner paid 17k for it!
 
Well after a while of looking, I found the right A6 my father was looking for come up on AUC.
Since he bought it he's been out of the country loads, and so I've probably done more miles in it than him :p.

Rest of the specs

Daytona Grey is a great colour :cool:.

Whilst the A6 is an S-Line, it doesn't have a diesel engine :eek:. Must be the only petrol engined S-Line in the country! :p

3.0 TFSI - Supercharged V6. Same engine as in the B8 S4/S5, but detuned to 300BHP. Gearbox is the 7-speed S-tronic automatic, with steering wheel flappy paddles.

As-well as the bodykit, sports suspension, and sports seats, the S-Line trim level gives a bit more kit than is standard on base spec (Xenons in particular). Then the options fitted above what S-Line gives are:

  • Technology Pack
  • Audi music interface
  • Front centre armrest
  • Colour Driver's Information System
  • Mobile telephone preparation High with online services
  • MMI touch
  • MMI navigation plus
  • Radio system for MMI plus
  • 20" alloy wheels, RS6 5 segment-spoke design. 255/35 R20 tyres
  • Heated front seats
  • Extended leather package
  • Fine grain ash brown Inlays (looks like a Rover!)
  • BOSE surround sound system
  • CD changer
  • Ambient lighting (LEDs everywhere, extra lights in door pockets, door handles, sills, etc).
  • Deluxe 4-zone automatic air conditioning
  • Through load with ski bag
  • Electric folding/dimming/heated mirrors

So I've been informed that currently due to the impending release of the MK3 TT that you can quite widely get 5-6k off of the list price for brand new TT at the moment. I've never been tempted to buy a brand new car until now, as i've always thought you lose way too much money as soon as you drive it away, but with a 5-6k saving surely this wouldn't be nearly as bad?

Anyway my thinking was to get one of those 3 year finance deals where you have the option to pay the outstanding amount at the end or swap the car in for another new one. So what I could do is decide to swap it in after the 3 years and get another brand new, MK3 TT.


Am I mad or does this actually have a chance of working out ok for me?

Surely you'd be better off saving up a bit longer and getting a new TT when it comes out?
 
Well, I just did it, bought a brand new car, something i always said i wouldn't do!

TT 2.0 TFSI Quattro Black Edition S-Tronic in Daytona Grey

I managed to get them to knock off around 5k in total and get all the care packages thrown in for free. Works out at £299 per month. Gonna be excited until March now!
