Bought a New Audi

Daveymaclad · 24-05-09, 07:57 PM

I've had a hell of a day, I ran a half marathon this morning in 24 degree heat, it was ten times more difficult than previous runs simply because the heat was relentless.

Then I must have been suffering from heat stroke as when I finished my lady and I drove to the Audi dealership and specced up and bought a brand new A6 avant with ALLLLLLLL the toys!

Managed to get £3,100 discount, full tank of fuel and take advantage of their 1.9% apr offer! It's with the gods of VW finance now, I'll keep you posted!

phots when you get it please

bloody hell!

If I want a loan I know where to come. Well not any more.

I went into Newbury Audi on Friday to pick up some bushes for my 19 year old car (I got some strange looks!) and saw an A6 avant 3.0 TDI quattro, I think it was something like £47000!!!!!!

Ah yeah the A6 avants are crazy money these days, I went for the TDIe for a few reasons, firstly it does 54mpg which is what I need when I'm doing 20k a year and secondly it was the only car they were offering such low finance on!

I have a feeling it's going to be the highest specced TDIe around as I've put all the toys like TV, freeview, hard drive mp3 player, the works on the leather seats etc etc etc! I need my toys if I'm goign to keep it for 4+ years!

Exactly the reason I ended up with the Volvo for my daily, big car for not so crazy money

without the dubious quality of current audi stuff ?

Daveymaclad · 25-05-09, 08:32 AM

Could we not talk about how crap current Audi's are when I've just committed nearly £30k on one please

:P

oops sorry will take my foot out of my mouth....mind you we bought a polo bluemotion three weeks ago and was then told by a friend in the trade that they knock the bottom end out...

at least its returning the 60-70 to the gallon we expected and is well built if a little placticky

sorry never meat to imply any sort of crapness, just that for my wallet spend I was better with the Volvo. If you want to buy crap German cars then the BMW 5 series is one hell of a pig to beat

Daveymaclad · 25-05-09, 12:02 PM

It's ok no offense taken! To be honest I wasn't looking at getting another car after my 330d which is a great car, but the finance offer on the Audi was just too good to beat at 1.9% with only 10% deposit (of which the dealer provides £2,500 so I only had to pay just over £300!)

I did also look at the 5 series touring but the start price of those was £29k with nothing! At least for £29k I've added, parking sensors, tv with freeview, bose upgrade, hard drive nav, full leather interior, heated seats and basically anything else I could think of to stop me getting so god damn bored of cars so quickly!! (I usually get through a car a year out of boredom).

The only question left to pose is whether I should chop the CQ in for the £2k discount, bearing in mind that it needs a lot of welding for an MOT and I may be able to get a cheeky MOT if they know it's then going literally straight onto the scrapheap! The cash saved could go towards my very own UR!
