It will be interesting to see whether this effects future values.

I'm collecting one from Stafford Audi tomorrow and whilst there yesterday noticed they have two more for sale and a customer also arrived in a used one with only 500 supposedly been made so far and about 40 for sale surprised they want to allocate any more (Just glad I got a big discount)

Yeah, I was surprised too. There seems an awful lot on the second hand market and the general feel is that they didn't exactly sell out as fast as expected.

There is a comment from a guy on Pistonheads who was only offered £12k GFV on a finance deal.

The red 12plt inc buckets seems well priced  :ashamed:

More of them allocated and sold can only be good news for those who intend to buy one at 3-4 years old  :happy2:

like me  :happy2:

although i have to say the 135i looks far better value and still want to see what this A45 AMG is like.

I want over 300bhp out of the box though so these are the only cars I am considering at present and must be 5 mordore hatches  :grin:

No, but the RS3 was an attractive prospect in the original numbers. That's one of the reasons I went for the ED35 as I think there will only be approx 300 of them built in total!

Yeah ED35 has that very limited Pirelli feel. Nice choice.
Just you've had a few 2.0tfsi.  :drinking:
