It will be interesting to see whether this effects future values.

I'm collecting one from Stafford Audi tomorrow and whilst there yesterday noticed they have two more for sale and a customer also arrived in a used one with only 500 supposedly been made so far and about 40 for sale surprised they want to allocate any more (Just glad I got a big discount)

Yeah, I was surprised too. There seems an awful lot on the second hand market and the general feel is that they didn't exactly sell out as fast as expected.

There is a comment from a guy on Pistonheads who was only offered £12k GFV on a finance deal.

The red 12plt inc buckets seems well priced  :ashamed:

New Sepang Blue was going to wait until Sept 1st but decided to take it now and get the Edition 30 up for sale in the next couple of weeks

More of them allocated and sold can only be good news for those who intend to buy one at 3-4 years old  :happy2:

like me  :happy2:

although i have to say the 135i looks far better value and still want to see what this A45 AMG is like.

I want over 300bhp out of the box though so these are the only cars I am considering at present and must be 5 mordore hatches  :grin:

Do you think the Golf R will depreciate less?

No, but the RS3 was an attractive prospect in the original numbers. That's one of the reasons I went for the ED35 as I think there will only be approx 300 of them built in total!

Yeah ED35 has that very limited Pirelli feel. Nice choice.
Just you've had a few 2.0tfsi.  :drinking:

I think VFM (new) there is not much to touch them if you don't mind the dated shape what else can you get for under £40K with 4WD 0-60mph in 4.5 Secs over 30 MPG on a run, 7 Speed DSG Sat/Nav Leather bluetooth 19" Alloys Parking Sensors + a host of other goodies as Std as well as German build quality
