Right.
Been to see the car. Its a good car. Its an lost none of the charm of the older versions, and gained some nice features, so I'm fundamentally attracted to it.
However, its not been prepared to a very good standard imo. They're clearly cutting corners trying to retail it out on a budget. They've "fitted 4 brand new tyres" = they've fitted 3 of one brand I've never heard of, and one of a another brand I've never heard of, the latter of which looks like it was fitted with a crowbar by a monkey.
But, The rest of it is fine. A few marks consistent with mileage I guess, and it is indeed as loaded with factory options as my homework had suggested, a fact the (bloody annoying) salesman still has no idea about.
So, can I see my having this car. Yes. Am I *desperate* for it. No, not as much as I was, but I know now, having sampled a fully loaded one, nothing else will ever be good enough, so its this example, or none at all really. #bloodyannoying
The p/x was under par for where we needed to be. They have literally taken the model, and mileage and rung a few underwriters on it and come out with a number. Could have done that without driving to see them... No intention to retail it, not interested. Quote from the Sales Manager of 16 years "They do an RS6 Saloon?.." <sigh>
So, RS6 is now going to
£27495, both on here, and publically. I can also
accept debit / credit cards via a8parts, although subject to a 2% fee on credit cards....
If the other car sells from under me, I'll have to make yet another decision about what to do. Ho hum...
