Another addition to my growing collection of cars I don't really need..... I should really sell the F type and the Mini sometime.
Starting a new job in Feb which will require doing a lot of miles again and will require a car having 5 doors etc etc.
I wanted some thing different and I needed it to be 4wd and pref an estate so the list wasn't very long. A new RS3 was at the top of it.
Finding one was a ball ache, there is a 10 month wait for a new order, cars in build are trading for more than list price and dealers hardly have any stock. In the end I called 22 dealers until I found this which was a cancelled order. It had been cancelled on delivery to the dealer, and I'd literally called 10 mins later!
The most important options I wanted were the dynamic pack (mag suspension and sports exhaust), tech pack (posh nav) and comfort and sound pack (B&O stereo etc). Luckily this car had them all, so I drove the 2 hours to go look at it.
Pics from inspection:
I wasn't a massive fan of the matt silver pack on it but other than that I loved it. Sorted deposit there and then then sorted my finance out my self. Straight HP over 60 months at 3.8% APR for those that are bothered. The rate Audi offered was 10.9% lol.
Collected it yesterday. Got an umbrella, tank of fuel and a bottle of champers with it. Nay bad.
Only really driven it down the M1 so far but I love it. It is 100% not a sports car which I just what I need, its a fast point to point estate which sounds awesome. Group B sound is just what I wanted. Its not hard or fidgety, just plant foot and go! Averaged 33mpg on a very fast run back to London too.
Then I got a £55 parking ticket because its number plate isn't on our parking thing, it was only there for 9 mins. Arse!
Can't wait to use it properly and pile the miles on.
