The new A4 arrived right on time.

Nothing missing from the spec. No marks, scratches or anything the wife or I could find after 20mins in the 'delivery suite'.

The whole collection thing ranked as one of the best we've had. Absolutely brilliant!

I must admit the salesman redeemed himself a bit. He went to a lot of trouble to make the 'experience' right.

Cosidering my B7 was just over 3 years old, Audi have cetainley up'ed the anti with the B8!

First impressions are very favourable. On my B7 I had 18" wheels which I thought made the car have a hard ride. I was a bit worried with going to 19" this time. But fear not, it doesn't seem to ride as hard.

Oh, I could go on and on and probably will later, so here's some piccys!

MANY congrats BH
I have never seen anyone as excited as you waiting till their car arrived.

I could read from your posts that you really had Audi A4 on the brain 24/7 till its arrival.

Many happy miles ahead.....

Why Do You Do It...

Your making yourself look very silly...

Saying you have a Quattro when you don't...

It does make it go any faster you know...

You'd of best doing it and keeping it to yourself...

I'm sure I saw a thread where you had been asked the question about Quattro or not, and you had replied that it was a shadow rather than a Quattro badge belowe the engine description........:confused:

Having had a quick look back through your posts you don't seem to say anything about QUATTRO. Other than where do the badges go...

This is a quote from your original order...

Well, finally after 3 weeks of negotiating with my local dealer I got my new car ordered on Saturday 210209 with a sizeable discount!

B8 Audi A4 2.0T Saloon
S-Line Pack
Ibis White
19" 7 Arm Double Spoke Alloys
Cruise Control

Went for the black interior with the black stitching (code QE) and not the silver. I think it might look grubby in time to come.

Also stuck with the standard inlays. I thought the piano black might be a bit to dark.

With it being a factory order, I've now got to wait till late April early May.

At least I beat the price increase tho'!

And further on another one about your discount...

Hi all. Just factory ordered and signed up for a B8 Audi A4 2.0T FSI S-Line in Ibis white with 19" 7 arm double spoke alloys and cruise control.

Didn't want any further toys.

Am be quoted early May delivery.

Works out a just over 10% discount I got.

If you factor in the 2% price rise which I beat by less than 36hrs, it works out at just over 12.2%!

I'M PLEASED!

IF I WAS YOU I WOULD BE SHOUTING FROM THE TREE TOPS THAT I"VE ORDERED A QUATTRO....

Or is it the Audi have sent you a Quattro by mistake, or should I say a
BADGELESS ONE....

Cheers on you...

In the words of harry hill, there's only one way to sort this 'FIIIIIIGHT'

Audi :biglaugh:

I have worked for Mercedes does that count !

Back to the question

I get a new car every 9 to 12 months - The company I work for Outright Purchase there cars. The Company have done this for years, but the company are reviewing this due to the Credit Crunch and could go to 3 or 4yr leases :(. fingers crossed

Forgot to say I had order an A4 which has been canceled (Credit Crunch) the A5 2.0TDI was not my spec i.e. No quattro, Just a colleague who ordered it has left the business and it will be available. Swap my S3 with a colleague and I get the A5 until March next year.

Any jobs going ???
Hope they dont change their policy on that one.

Got to go now i need to fill up with Devil juice ( not something you will be familiar with as you change cars before you run out of fuel )
Do you detect the green eyed monster in me :beerchug:

I think we need to organise a summer meet to investigate the claims of quattro ownership. :D

Audis in the Park seems ideal : http://www.audisinthepark.co.uk/page2.htm

Not attendance proves you're a 14 year kid with a dodgy internet persona :p

....although I may still have the FWD quattro by then ! :aargh4:

Just sussed it, Bristlehound may not have ordered Quattro but Audi inadvertently put Scotty's quattro on his car QED.

I'm still hear by the way cos i remembered i've got a diesel and can go the extra mile without filling up
