Exactly the spec I want DrK! I wonder could you tell us where you got that deal that would be great

[anduril]

Mine is as good as delivered (test drive still pending)
Limestone Grey
DSG
Leather
Driver Assist
Sunroof
w euro plates and full tank petrol
$61300

Wow that sounds like a pretty good deal for a fully optioned model. Can you PM where you got the deal from?

[samps]

Yes can I please also have the name of that dealer/salesman? That's an incredible deal.

Make that electric leather seats with forward, backwards and lift controls as standard and the cabin of the S3 is less busier / more professional with the pop up / down navigation / media screen as well as fighter pilot like switches

As has been previously mentioned in this thread, electric seats without a memory function is quite pointless. Logically, the sports seats supplied in the S Performance Package have manual seat controls. While the cabin is definitely simpler, maintaining Audi's traditional minimalist approach, you do miss out on Volkswagen's clever storage solutions around the dash, console and the overhead sunglasses compartment.

Thanks guys! Pretty happy with the price! PMd those who asked

I revisited my local Audi dealership, who confirmed the best discounted price of $70.8K, which I obtained in January and most closely matches a Pure White Golf R with all three options, for the following included Audi S3 Sportback options:

Glacier White Metallic, Exterior Mirror Package, Panoramic Sunroof, Load Through Facility including Rear Centre Armrest, Assistance Package, Audi Magnetic Ride and customer supplied number plates in Victoria.

Given DrK obtained a confirmed deal of $61.3K in Victoria, there is a $9.5K difference here, which is in the ballpark that I had predicted and stated in my previous posts (for Victoria).

So how much discount did you get in terms of % DrK? Would you be kind enough to PM me your contact too?

Burwin VW apparently have the Golf R already in their showroom, going to go for a test drive on Sat.

Edit: $60300 not (61300)

My father has negotiated a discount on an S3 that amounts to just under $8,000 off the full retail price, and also includes 3 years' free scheduled servicing. Bear in mind that he is also eligible for the corporate discount, and so the deal represents about $5k off the standard corporate discounted price. As far as I'm concerned, that's a fantastic deal.

It is pointless to compare negotiated driveaway prices for the R and S3, because one person's negotiation tactics and circumstances are not the same as another's. Your best bet is simply to compare based on the published retail prices (including published dealer delivery, duty etc) and go from there. And that gap is substantially less than $9,500.
