Tell me about it - this one is Stunning... https://usedcars.bmw.co.uk/vehicle/201801092590925...

Real world performance for most things isn't probably too different...
Wouldn't lose 10k on the m3 in 2 years though...

Can honestly say im not too bothered now if I miss out on the S4 - always wanted an M car..

I would suggest that you probably don't want to be running a daily driven E9x M3 outside of a warranty. They aren't exactly reliable cars.

That's an F30 though?

I'd get an F80 M3...

Ha, didn't realise the M3 had a different designation to the 3 series. This wasn't the case before was it?

Great I was told the same from her that there is no reason for them to cancel it.

Glad we're getting the car then!

Hey guys, I'm a bit of a noob at the leasing thing (especially through a broker) can anyone give me any advice in terms of checking whether the order has actually been accepted? Is an order number the only thing that will do it? I've been informed by my broker (Richard at Smart Leasing) that the order for my S6 Avant Black Edition [tech pack] is in and accepted (£435pcm - can hardly believe it) but I've also got Stable saying they can still take orders and I don't want to miss out if the guy from Smart is having me on (I've no reason to suspect it, seemed like a sound guy - it's just with a deal that's clearly too good to be true you don't wanna miss out).

Any help much appreciated - ever since I got rid of my C6 RS6 avant I've been desperate to get back into something similar and it looks like the C7 S6 is right up there, and at this price it's a steal too!

I don't know why I assumed that link would be an E9x but for some reason I did. F8x is a much more palatable proposition for a daily

Have you heard anything back yet from the dealers regarding the order for the S4?

I used ALA last time and they were very good when my car was stolen. I didn’t need to use them in the end but they gave me confidence.

The ones offered by lease company or main dealer are usually stupid expensive.

If your upfront payment is big - get one that covers the deposit.

Yes she said it’s going through but I can’t change the order at all. Wanted to add extended interior led package but couldn’t. Even paying cash for upgrades.

Oh well

Not had order number yet.
Part of me thinking it may not actually go through but if it doesn’t I’m going f80 m3 so win win.

Just spoke to Audi Warrington and I have finally got my order number! Finally I can re assure myself that I am 100% getting the car now.

I forgot to ask them is the road tax included? I must say they haven't been clear with everything and next time will order from brokers as I just found out that I will have to do a 200 miles round trip to collect the car as they do not deliver the car.

Yikes. That’s worth admin fee cost (delivery)

The service in person has been good but slow response to email / phone calls hasnt been amazing.

Also like you, no clear confirmation on what I’ll be paying apart from Some figured on an email when I first enquiried. I expected all figures on the application.

Considering they try to say they’re much better than brokers - so far I’m not convinced

[Paul_P1]

I'd hope they've included the tax in the monthlies. That's almost £40pm just for the tax...

[TTOBES]

Nice one to those who have had their S6 order confirmed!

I had assumed a couple of months ago that the newest examples available on Audi's network/Autotrader were likely the last, so this thread confirms that I have about two-and-a-half years to save up for one of your saloons!

Look forward to pics in a few months!

Will be the last time ordering from dealers. Brokers experience is way more better.

Hey at least you may get a proper handover "experience" where they shut you in that silly booth with the car for you to drive out with it? Got to be worth the journey

[oilnchain]

Disappointed with the lack of communication from Stable. Had to chase them for confirmation the S4 has been ordered and all I've received is a one sentance email saying it has. They certainly haven't inspired any confidence.

Has anyone else got an order number out of Stable?

They've been fine with me. Got my order number and can see it on the Audi tracker, no need for any more communication from them until the tracker tells me it's on its way. Just ask for the order number again.

[bigfish]

Ordered form CVL and all good. Got Audi order number and very pleased with service so far.

Brokers are here for a reason IMO
