Seem to be a good price as a cash purchase
Crazy 10+% interest pcp deals though
My bank interest rate 5.5%
Seems their finance arm are profiteering somewhat!

Nearer 12% I think, best rates seem to be about 9% from brokers, so not that horrendous. You can always withdraw within 14 days and arrange finance elsewhere. I don’t think they can do anything about the deposit contribution but not sure where you’d stand on the charger install and other benefits though.

I’ve been keeping an eye out but there’s not much that meets my criteria (55 S-Line non-Sportback with C&S)

Interesting point
So say a 27.5k car
Sign up
2.5k deposit contrbution
Charger maybe, nice if true


Week 2
Get a Barclay-loan (5.5%) for 25k to settle the finance?

Does the free charger offer apply to used cars? I thought it was new only.
Indeed it does, £2,500 deposit contribution, free standard Ohme charger installation (they sting you £50 for surge protection) and warranty, breakdown, key cover, mot cover and services all for 2 years.

Collecting ours on Friday!
Is this a dealer/group specific offer or is this across all Audi dealers?

Its advertised online for 'new E-tron customers' but not sure if that's new car customers or just new customers to the brand laugh

All Approved dealers - collected ours from Huddersfield Audi on the 10th.

275 miles home averaged 2.7m/kw which was pleasant with heated seats, air con and sat nav in use.

One stop halfway, charging speed is a real plus at 150kw/h on the 55, was full before I'd eaten my lunch.

Many thanks!

They are VERY cheap on PCP and even better if you get a home charger for free as well! I'm looking at a base 50 Technik so not sure if they charge at 150kw/h as well?

Yep, just spoke to a dealer and the free charger is included on any approved used Electric Audis. He's calling me back tomorrow about a 50 Technik.... £500 deposit and £241/month for 18 months.

That's a bloody bargain if the poor range/efficiency is liveable.

Might have to push my wife towards one...

Is the Approved Used warranty 12 or 24 months?

The one I enquired about is gone unfortunately, but there are a few out there for £300-350 a month with £500 down.

The warranty is for 2 years. You also get 2 years breakdown, 2 services/MOT's and 2 years lost key cover for free as well as the free wall charger.

We went and sat in one (a 50 technik) and the interior was drab enough that my wife was put off it. The door plastics especially were a bit nasty (amazed there wasn’t more made of it in the reviews I’ve watched for a £70K+ list). Cheap now tho.

That's surprising. I've spent quite a lot of time in one (albeit pretty high spec) and thought it was lovely (except the camera mirrors). Lovely car but a crap EV is my summary!

The crap EV element wouldn't be an issue for my wife (probably 1 charge per week and no long journeys) so one of these ~£300 deals would work really well for us.

Also really surprised by the interior comment. The interior is very high quality imo. It was purposefully designed by Audi to mirror the interior of the ICE equivalent models, so maybe OP was expecting VW EV style touch sensitive everything and a crap infotainment system? I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s a ‘crap’ EV, although the battery range is sub par. In every other way it’s a great car.

It was the plastics down low that I noticed, it was also in a car supermarket and John major grey inside. I think the combo of all that did it no favours on the luxury side. I’m going to find a local better specd car and have another look.
