I thought they are very reasonable. They aren't my charges by the way but just an indication of what the charges could be if that makes sense.

Thanks

It looks like body panel damage requiring repaint is not per panel? I have a scratch that goes down the side of the car and I wonder if its more feasible to leave it. But it goes on the bumper too so no doubt that will mean that charge too.

Believe me guys, worth waiting for, they are fantastic!

It is slightly confusing as you say. There's a separate category for bumper damage. I think this is where the 7 day period comes in to play because it gives us a chance to get it sorted ourselves if their repair cost is too expensive.

Yes, it may cost me more than £248 to get it sorted (hope not though!) but if its per panel there is the bumper, wing and two doors!

Wahayyyyyyy!!! The red leather looks great - congrats. Good shout on the privacy glass - transforms the look in my view especially with the black paint.
Whats your immediate impressions?

Congrats! You win the race

Glad I went for privacy now, wishing I had gone for carbon dash.

Not quite as good as this on the lease thread a few days ago:

If anyone is looking for an Audi S5 Sportback deal then I was offered the following:

6+23
10K p.a.
£342.59 + VAT monthly
£2055.54 + VAT initial
£180 in VAT admin fee

The prices above included:

Road tax for full term incorporating the updated VED rates from April 2017
Trailer delivery
Audi breakdown cover
May/June delivery (although the current delays would probably make this unfeasible)

I also had the following optional extras specified in the price:

Flat bottomed steering wheel
Extended LED interior lighting pack - Multi-coloured
Virtual cockpit
Privacy glass (side and rear windows)

If anyone is interested then speak to Tom Roberts at V4B ([e-mail]). Excellent customer service, all questions answered promptly, happy to go back and forth between dealer and myself no matter how trivial the question was. Just remember that i drove this deal down to its bare bones so you might want to go in asking him to match this quote from another broker.

Thing is, those both work out to £11922 so I wonder if the original poster's price didn't include the options he listed.

The car looks amazing, answering the rest of us sat here just drooling at the pictures..........

I don't suppose you can remember the date that landed in the UK? - it would be good to have an idea of how long the turnaround has taken to see if we have a fighting chance of ours arriving before the end of the month.

I would guess it is highly dependable on how busy the individual dealers are too. Sheffield have a lot of work on by the sounds of it!

[TomScrut]

Is anyone picking their car up from Sheffield? I was thinking of asking the question in case it means I get my car earlier; it may be that they struggling to get lease cars delivered by lorry before the end of the month.

Landed 6th March and registered the same day according to my docs.

Firstly, that new car smell you can't beat it. It is bloody fast and a license looser if your not careful. Bit of turbo lag, but much better than the usual. Quality is amazing.....a work of art. Found out (bet no one knows this yet) that the seat bolsters firm up L or R when cornering. Google maps sends this info to the seats......how cool is that!! Best car I have ever had, it will NOT disappoint. MMI takes a lot brain power to get you head around, and the user manual is bedtime reading for at least a week. I am excited for you guys still waiting to find out what you have actually bought. Edit: ignore popular opinion, in dynamic mode the exhaust sound is perfect. Any more and it would be too loud IMO.

I really dislike these wheels - seems a lot of Sportbacks have them for some reason!

I agree, much prefer the 'standard' ones. I was told by dealer that these are the 'launch spec' wheels, but actually they are now available on the Audi configurater as an option..for extra cost!

I think they would look better than Cavos on a red car. YMMV

Looks like ABT have a chip out for it.

Can't imagine that being cheap though, looks like its removable at least.

Brings it to new RS5 territory? Must be 4 secs to 60 or better...
