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!

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

try them

good shout I think I will try it. just seems a shame that thats the way to go other than direct to the dealer but it is 2017!

sounds significant also a very nice car

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?

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.

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

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.

made me chuckle this morning you are not wrong. I guess thats modern working to move with the times
