S3 List & VED

[r10jdl]

Hi. About to take ownership of new S3. Spec’d the car to £39750 rrp to keep it under the £40k threshold to prevent the additional £310 annual VED hike. Had finance docs through to sign today, and it states that the car will be subject to the additional VED. Has anyone come across similar? I have an Audi generated spec sheet showing RRP as £39750, so can’t understand how this is happening. Dealership have been pleasant, but not sure what powers they have to change DVLA numbers. Any thoughts would be really appreciated. I have been looking forward to the new delivery so much, and hope this can be sorted.

Is the Audi spec "OTR"?

RRP was actually 39250 at time of order to allow for OTR costs. Price went up since order which pushed it over the threshold. 😡 Hoping dealer can sort!

Same thing happened to me in 2018. Rule sucks.
