Can't see any current threads about this (there's the e-tron thread, I know).

Anyone got one? MrsABC321 is looking at them currently. I have an ICE car so fine for longer journeys, she does maybe 6 miles a day round trip. We are primarily looking at the early (71 reg) with low-ish mileage, S-Line trim. I will probably take it once a week/fortnight on my 60-100 mile daily round trip.

Will be purchasing direct from Audi therefore MOT, servicing and warranty included. We already have a home-charger installed.

Anything to look out for will be helpful!

My only advice would be to not pay a significant price uplift for an AUC from Audi. Can often be thousands more than an independent dealer and an official warranty can be bought online in 5 minutes for £500 a year, an MOT is peanuts and they only need to be serviced every 2 years or 20k miles after the initial 12 month inspection.

As an example out eTron bought this month was £22.5k from a non Audi franchised dealer with a fresh service and MOT. A car of identical age and mileage from Audi is £26.5k.

Thanks SWoll. Agree that the Audi premium is not justified. I enquired about a car Monday, they called me back to which I explained I was busy at the time and still not hear back from them 48 hours later!

Will look to buy from another dealer / private and buy the warranty as a bolt on.

Make sure you take it for a decent test drive onto roads similar to those you drive each journey.
I have a 72 plate 40 s line. It has a pathetic ride to me. Whereas my wife thinks its alright. Guess it just depends on what car you've come out from.

The Jay Emm review for the car is pretty bang on, except he underplays how bad the ride is.
Oh, and if you want a chuckle try the reversing camera at night!
