Moving to the B8 forum - Just ordered my new S4

[jdp1962]

Just spent the morning at Bexley Audi speccing and ordering our first ever new car. It's an S4 Black Edition, in Tornado Grey with the following extras:

Drive Select
Mobile phone prep - High with Audi Connect
Fine nappa leather Supersports seats in silver and grey
Heated front seats
Adapative lighting with cornering light function
Convenience pack
Technology Pack with HDD satnav
Storage pack

also some stuff that were compulsory add-ons with the options we chose

Ski-bag & through load, and
Leather door trims.

I'm still contemplating GAP insurance and will be arranging for a local detailer to carry out a new car prep once it arrives. Meanwhile, the sales lady told me she'd supply a phone connect lead FOC on the day.

They're forecasting delivery in July. We should be given a build week by the end of April, and once we know what the build week is, it should be with the dealer another three weeks after that.

In the words of Hugh Laurie in Blackadder, I'm as excited as a very excited person who has a special reason for being excited.

I'm also looking forward to the transition to B8 World from the B7 community that has been my home these past five years.

Congratulations. That sounds like an extremely fine car.
I guess you were offered an irresistible deal when the dealer needed to get orders before the end of March, to persuade you from your
former conviction against buying new?

I assume you are not worried about it soon being replaced??

Not at all. Audi are offering substantial discounts in the form of deposit contributions, plus I'm always nervous about the idea of being the first to buy something all new. I've seen too many examples of first owners having to act as development engineers.

Fair.... I'm an early adopter so have to have the latest. But discounts are always welcome!!

Hey,
I've had my S4 for a couple of months now and it is awesome....... you will love it. I wish I had done it a while ago

Have fun :)

Don't buy the gap from a dealer, unless they'll price match !,it's cheaper online,as an example we've just brought replacement car gap,10k cover covering 5 years for 200 quid and for 15k worth of cover it only rose to 250 quid, that's with "car2cover" by the way.

Had mine for 6 weeks now and absolutely love it!
