So, what are we mk7 owners buying next?

[Exonian]

Spent 2 hours in VW on Saturday while we 'went through my account' which lead to basically pricing up a clubsport. I got the sense they were trying to get rid of them before the 'facelift' comes out. I really wanted the LCD screen which these dont have but i still asked to see what the price was.

Anyway long story short, forget it lol, £490p/m with a £7.5k deposit. I can get an RS3 for much less than that a month, its just not worth it, so my minds made up, when the facelift order books open, RS3 it is

What sort of figures are RS3s coming in at per month?

[GrahamFR]

not sure if this will link but its about £450p/m https://www.audi.co.uk/explore-models/finance-calculator.html#/calculator?range=A3&model=RS%203%20Sportback&trim=RS3%20Navigation&modelCode=8VARSY%5C1%5CGPNUPNU%5CGYEFYEF&productType=SOLUTIONS&deposit=7500&mileage=15&period=42

[GrahamFR]

oh yeah and the £490 was over 48 months! not my usual 42, so its even less in comparison.

So thats £50 more a month for a car with lets face it 90% of the time, 135bhp less... (new one should be 400bhp if it matches TTRS and even if not it will only be ecu change not hardware so remap the same)

What a weird situation!
I certainly know which one I'd prefer!





RS3 in nice light grey colour

Something bright for me, the free colour in the pre facelift was grey and it's the only one I see. So orange or yello would be cool

I know it's not one that many considered but has anyone had any experience with the Touareg R line (262bhp).

Saw a personal lease deal for 250 (inc).

A bit of a monster and not a bad price too.
Definitely the sort of thing you'd probably only ever consider getting if it was on a lease and I'd certainly consider one at that price if I was in the market for a new vehicle.

Precisely my point, my only issue is delivery. My current PCP doesn't end until sept and the 250 is per month doesn't include upfront payment. I will need to check but in real money I think it equates to 350pcm.

Got my figures from Carwow.

Appears that they have valued my golf (currently) at 15205 with an outstanding finance of approx 16500. Putting me in -ve equity.

With all discounts and contributions added to the deal with a 3.5k deposit my monthlies over 48 months work out to 407pcm.

Spec is as listed in one of my previous comments.

In real terms is this a good deal considering it has to be a factory order and if I wait until sept I will have paid off another grand but the pEx price would have dropped by the same amount.

The monthlies are affordable and in comparison over the course of 3 years In real money I would end up paying 30 pounds more a month then I am now. Even though the indicative monthlies are 80 quid more a month given I am paying a lesser deposit here.

Back on topic.

I do love Capris which are nearly as cool as Mercedes saloons thinly disguised as Sports Coupes.

I'm surprised there are any Capris left now as they were pretty rusty a few years down the line from new never mind 20 or 30 or 40 years even further down the line.
I had a couple friends with V6 Capris and loved the noise they made and the fact you could wheel-spin them at will at any time. Well i was young at the time so simple things like that impressed me!
Ok, I'll admit it, they still do impress me.

My first car was a mk1 Scirocco and I wonder what they're worth now if there are any left. They shared a Capri and Alfa trait in that they turned all brown and holey after a few years.

I got chatting to one of the dads at my sons football and he has a Capri tucked away in his 'humidity controlled' garage that has only done 6.5k. His owned it from new. That I need to see.
