The Audi S1 thread
Discussion
Thought I would set up for a thread on the Audi S1 which is due to be released later this year.
Is anyone buying one?
I am very tempted as it looks like a very fun car - go kart handing, 0-60 in 5.8 secs before a remap and 40 mpg combined.
Tempted in visiting a dealer in the next few days to get a PCP quote and p/x value against one.
What does everyone think about them?

From another forum
Over a 36 month rental term you'd have paid out £15120, and that's if there is no loading upfront. If you are on a 3+35 term, that's £15960 paid out. If you are getting a £26k (RRP) S1, inclusive of around £1100 of extras (assuming 3 door), and you get it from a brokers for £2400 discount - there's a purchase (or finance) price of £23600. The GFV is looking to be about £14k (you'll probably get £15k p/x value, meaning you'd be £1k in equity for your next car), meaning you're financing £9400 depreciation + interest over 36 months. You're looking at about £5600 interest (7% APR? pricey!) and £9400 = £15000 = £416 a month x 36. There's nowt in it (£25 a month, if 3+35months on lease), on those terms i'd rather lease. If your monthly figs are a 24 month term then I would definitely lease.

I too would be interested to hear buyer's experiences.
All I know is delivery dates seem to be slipping, currently Sept at the earliest.
As virtually no discounts available its expensive at 26k before options which with Audi are crazy prices.
Big discounts available on DTD, about £3000.All I know is delivery dates seem to be slipping, currently Sept at the earliest.
