Bye-bye GTi hello R

[virginVWman]

Getting the feeling there is no point in ever calling them until you've made your offer in person, as they are clearly just too busy. A lad at Audi is working on an S3 at moment with black pack, red callipers and folding mirrors for me. Old man has another great friend at Audi Stirling so il see what he can do.

So much for me hoping to have done this in a week taking so much longer. As you say, get in and meet them, theyl see your interested and easier to bargain

Just been on a pcp calculator and if the gfv was 16500 id only be paying 279 a month, would it make much difference at the end though for example people have been saying most dealers will offer 1500 over the gfv usually, will it make a difference as to what you have left over then or is it just the payments overall would be less, ive worked out that il be paying 14,784 over the 4 years, if the car is 23950 and the gfv is 14748 doesnt that mean il have overpaid by 4kish or is that absorbed by the extra for the interest?
Im confused now lol
Also worked out that if the gfv was say 17k in 3 years id be paying 318 a month, can the dealers change this then?

That's the interest, £10k depreciation covered and £4k interest for your total £14k spent over 4 years.

Right so that works out ok then, i dont want to push them too much as getting some good bits chucked in, just been on the vw configurator and my car specced new was 34k, im getting it for 27950 so its already lost 6k before ive even touched it lol.
Im sure i could be getting a better gfv but the payments are affordable so not going to push it too much, ive emailed the sales guy to see what he can do if anything. If the gfv was 16 it would be 20 quid less a month, whats the common gfv for these then?

Is your car not new? Pre-registered/demo? If so that explains a lot with the lower GFV figures quoted, for some reason a car not new when bought going to 3 years old has a lower GFV than one bought new at 3 years old. 1 previous owner is better than 2 in resale, but not by much. Certainly not the difference between your £14576 GFV and the official Solutions new car 4 year value on the finance calculator.

Catching up on here was a right maths lesson. I have decided I will order in March for a sept delivery unless there is an offer that makes sense after Xmas.

I really want to see the reaction I get at audi so I may just try popping in sometime.

[monkeyhanger]

Yep, it's been a bit of a maths intensive session, but car finance seems to be set up to bamboozle, they ask you what you can afford per month rather than telling you what you're getting in discount.

Well just to make me feel I've done the right thing il keep looking at the car ive got.
Here's it is

VW Bradford (or JCT600) is who I bought my GTi from through CarWow and now direct for my R. Definitely recommend them...great service and Ben is a good guy.

What I would say about CarWow is that the offers that comeback are often automated...you should always message back and ask if that is the best deal. Unless you give them your phone number they cannot ring you back so your identity remains anonymous until you decide to ring...and don't forget the £20 Amazon voucher when you buy....whoop whoop
