Yes, been to OPC this morning for the once over, even more impressive in the flesh or should I say metal, my original new order included 21” platinum silver wheels, but I really like the 20” S wheels and with Air

Interior is quality with the extended leather and gentian stitching and seat belts, I was also a bit concerned with 18 way seats( side bolsters) but they are really comfortable, of course only time will tell re wear and tear.
Pick up 1st May.

Sounds a good deal.

Sounds a good deal.

I think so crockers, the lead time and price increase was a bit of a game changer for me, along with ved difference, £2200 v £570, also I’m getting a really good deal on my S3, this car just felt right at the right time. I’m lucky to get it as original buyer failed financing test.

Great time of year to take delivery too. Got mine last December and I am never doing that again no matter what the wait. Driving continually in the dark, rain, wind on roads full of stones and potholes has been no fun. Last few weeks have been the most enjoyable drives since I’ve owned mine.

Well done on finding it.

The price increase pushed me to look at the used website and I was very lucky , my opinion, and found the Gentian Blue "S" ,registered Dec 22 with 4000 miles and with circa £17,000.00 of options for just under £70k .There's an identical car , options and all , a few months older and 2500 more miles for sale at another OPC for £10,000 more.
I collected it this morning and was really pleased with the condition of the car, the light scratches and some front end chips had all been taken care of and it looked stunning under the showroom lights. So engrossed with the car I forgot to take photos, I'll get some done tomorrow.
It was a 250 mile drive home all motorway M1 , M42, M5 and M4 and first impressions :-
The engine just purred along, kept to limits but did give it a burst on the odd occasion, very pleasing. Mpg over the 250 miles 33.4 , I won't see that again for a while.
Blind spot monitoring was brilliant on the motorway and the ride on the 20" alloys was great. The heavens opened just after getting onto the M5 for about 50 miles so the car will get a good clean tomorrow morning before I take some photos, start as I mean to go on.

I've had a good few sleepless nights trying to think why it was such a good deal, especially comparing it to some other OPC prices for a similar car. I have to admit that I've had a good look over it tonight and can't fault it , it has some swirls in the paintwork but they'll be gone tomorrow. The inside is as new , gave the leather a once over with Poorboys Leather Stuff,I highly recommend it , buffs to an original matt leather finish and is water based. Tyres are all circa 6mm and the alloys unmarked.
At least you've only got a few days to wait.
