Do ALA not do their price match where they beat other quotes by 20% of the difference anymore?
I would never give business to someone who had to lower their price to match someone elses - should be more competitive in the first place - I got a great price and great service from totallossgap so happy to give them my money
I agree in principle, and defintiely wouldnt give somebody chance if it was simply a match. But since they were willing to beat by 20% of the difference it meant it was cheaper. TLG quoted me £123.27, ALA £200, but then gave me it for £107.92. It actually meant that their ridiculous price to begin with worked to their disadvantage.

My S5 coupe lease is up next July and given the WLTP delays etc I am starting to think early about replacement. I do plan to extend for another 12 months if the price remains the same or goes down and worse case could do an informal extension to get a few more months from this.

I am looking get in another similar car - S5 SB or A4 saloon or avant as a sprog could be on the scene by then. I want a similar car so I can keep the Milltek and tuning box as well.

So if anyone spots any deals please post!

I'm looking too since mine goes back in April. Like you I'd like similar again or an S4 Avant but will probably end up with a Golf R estate as a guess unless some bargains come up.

Yeah seems like we are enjoying the car! I am going to try and extend for 12 months or minimum do an informal extension for 3 months to give me more time. I hope once WLTP is sorted they might release some lease deals to get people back in and ordering. I know they have a backlog but an Audi dealer tells me now people are just not willing to place orders and waiting 9 months so are just walking out the showroom. Plus I dont think you can order S4 or S5 at min until the face lift is announced.

Who knows but hopefully we can get back in one!

I’m sure mine were turned down on the settings on the MMI and I had to turn the brightness up

Wow, must have been a good 4 weeks unless they have changed how it works it out! Seriously, that doesnt sound right, I'd be asking Audi about it. My first service (S5) was at 15000 at nearly a year old, starts at 19000 and crawls down based on how you drive.

Does anyone have the s4 in Daytona grey with the standard included alloys.

Would love to see some real life pics.

Also would love to see the standard alloys with any other colour. Didn’t see them in flesh before ordering but wasn’t going to pay more for the others even though they are nicer.

Trying to connect to the myAudi service is mindbogglingly difficult.

I have set up an account, a PIN and got the chassis number recognised but I am still no nearer to figuring it out, it says I am not authorised and to set up a PIN but when I go onto that it says I already have a PIN set up.

Another part said to enter my mTan number which I did but I just got the spinning wheel and I have no idea if that did anything or what it was supposed to do.

Only other info said to visit my Audi partner - who the hell is that? local dealership? or] dealership that supplied the lease car? And then there is myAudi or MyAudi BETA ???

Completely baffled.

Have you followed the steps in the manual, I think I followed that step by step and it worked fine.
Your pin will show when you log into Audi online, and the rest is on the fob that come on your keys.

I'm another who gave up trying to connect his S4. I only gave it one shot. My view on tech is if it can't be done first time without detailed instructions, then the tech is at fault for being over-complicated and doesn't deserve my further attention.

I am on holiday at the moment but will give it a go when I get back.

In other news I am starting to warm to the car. I suspected it would be a grower as it is difficult to love it for its looks! Just very nice to sit in and drive, a car that whispers softly but carries a big stick.

My S4 is at the dealers, as said in an earlier post I have arranged to sent my Golf R Estate back a month early. Just waiting for BA to come and inspect it then I can arrange a delivery day of the S4.

Picked mine up today. Very enjoyable drive. Feels much faster and interesting than my golf r manual is.

Paint is awful on all new Audi cars. The orange peel effect is laughable. Even the salesman agreed. We had a look at a few different ones and it’s terrible. If it wasn’t a lease I’d be more bothered...
