Is This Good???

[HarryA1980]

Hi Peeps, my old man has just been offered a deal on a new Audi A8 Sport and i told him i would try and find out if its a good deal he seems to think because i drive a RS3 that i know everything about Audi lol

So he has been offered a brand new A8 that he can have this month for only £299 a month over 24 months on a PCH

Is this good as it sounds very very cheap???

Plus VAT or including? Deposit? Final payment? Mileage allowance? Excess mileage charge?

Is there a deposit payable, does that £299 include VAT, how many miles per annum and what are the excess mileage charges if he is likely to exceed that limit?

Now you can't speak until somebody says FN2TypeR

Shirley you mean should he "pull the trigger" or is it "Tigger"

£299pm will be the carrot
One of the above won't be good
I'm guessing it will be the deposit

its including VAT, old man only does 9-10k and they asked for a £9000 upfort deposit!!!

So for 18-20k miles, it'll cost him (24 x £300) + £9000 = £16,200. Now, about that "very very cheap"?

the car apparently is sat in their showroom price at £67,745

Lovely, an' all. But paying that means he gets to keep it forever.
Paying that £16,200 means in two years time he walks away without anything.

No-ones going to pay £68k for it which is why they're trying to lend it to your dad for two years for £16k.

Doesn't seem like a particularly cheap way to do 18,000 miles / two years motoring to me, then again I'm not the kind of guy who wants to have a brand new A8 for two years... and if I was, It'd probably be because I was doing significantly more than 10,000 miles a year.

Or to put it another way, with the deposit included, its £666 a month. There's a sign.

It's also around a pound per mile for the car alone, plus insurance, plus fuel, plus tyres etc.
