The only times I've bought direct from Audi, I've slapped a deposit down immediately.

Its the only way to guarantee its yours as it takes it off sale. You can always back out easily enough after, but if its 'on sale' there is a whole showroom (or other branches in a bigger franchise) full of sales folks looking at that thing being available, and they will just sell it if a punter rocks up.

Used Car sales are cut throat at the best of times, but at the moment the market is poor, so I can see how you got left behind.

I don't agree with it per se, but its the way of the world. If you want it, show your money and secure it.

Also, scour the Audi uk used cars website. I found cars usually go up on there first, often before they're into stock yet. Only if they fail to get snapped up immediately did they seem to trickle down to Autotrader.
