new S3 purchase where to go??

[anton1985]

Good evening all! Had some joy from this forum before when selling and buying so hopefully someone knows someone.

I am trying to buy (deal depending) a new Audi S3 Sportback with limited spec on pcp (metallic, auto, B&O, sun pro glass). This is proving challenging as dealers don't seem as customer centric as they were during my BMW sales days. Granted the deal I am after is a monster but not beyond the realms of % in my experience. If nothing more a good contact to go through it but ideally one someone has experienced big deals.

If anyone has a good contact that would be great and thank you again PH!

Is basically the problem you want x and want to pay y, but dealers are telling you it will cost z, and you are not happy about it?

Not being from a sales background, can I enquire what 'a big deal' involves?

Car wow is the best I've found, recently I had quotes for over 6k off a new c class 250d

try them

no I have had 1 dealer offer me pretty much what I was after then came back with the wrong colour and said they didn't have build slots. 8% is a general offer but there are some out there at 10% (car wow and orange wheels suggest higher.)

One of the comments was go car wow but as I say having done the sales job in the motor trade it seems a shame thats the way to go. thats all

Have you thought about leasing?


Its probably cheaper?

to be honest I haven't. purely because we were always advised not to go that route. I guess the only thing is the inflexibility if you decide to change for something earlier but thats a good shout I will have a little look online.

I hoped my sarcasm had came through

Orange wheels go though the fleet dept, don't expect the retail dept to match their offer.

All it does it let all the dealers in the country registered on it bid for the sale, not a lot different to you just going dealer to dealer or going to Homebase to check prices against those in b&q

I've just ordered a black edition sportback 3+23 @ £349 per month on PCH lease.

Why is it a shame to use Car wow etc?
Go to Costa/Nero and use their wifi to browse if you want a frothy coffee while you haggle.
I bet the £3 for the costa coffee is less than you save using an aggregator.
