Scirocco Central

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Right here goes just been on my lunch with my MD and we was talking about my new car Which is a

Scirroco TSI with :
vienna leather
DSG
Electric seats
winter pack
reverse parking sensors
flat tyre indicator
dynopack audio
smokers pack
and a few others can.t come to mind at the minute

Due to arrive in 10+weeks

Anyhow he just said how did you find the S3 which i had over the weekend,,,, so i started realing off my findings as he knows im a real car nut

He then proceeds to say do you want that for the remainder of the lease which is another year its currently a 57reg on 3 year deal instead of the ROCCO which they will give to the Top sales Lad?

Now i loved the Audi and love the Rocco what would you do opinions welcome.

They both have there PROS AND CONS and argubably the S3 is a better car but i love DSG for the mileage and the rocco is well ,, like rather new.

When i get in from work i will write a full list of reasons for and against both models ... Although not much on the S3 to be honest its amazing
Speed - comfort -class keep reappearing in my mind.

So at the moment the only thing i can think of is having the S3 a year then getting a new ROC

What would you Lads and Lassies do in this unsolving Dilema

The S3 has 35k on the clock and full leather centre armrest upgraded stereo sytem and a few others . not sure what you get standard on them?

Its Black with silver wing mirrors and Black Leather.

i'd go with the S3 mate and get that out of your system. My reasoning being that the rocco has been out now for 11 months and in 12 months time will no doubt have some sort of facelift (additional to new dials, wheel etc) I am thinking more in terms of powerplant upgrades to say 230-240 as standard. 197 is not exactly class leading these days and other manufacturers are releasing some tasty kit like this :-

Right having some serious deliberation here ...... spoke to the missus she said get what you want

She hates speed full stop which is fairy muff she is getting on a bit

Right at home now so can speak,, it appears there is some method in some madness.. The sales manager gave me the S3 to take home this weekend??? I thought it was rather strange but jumped at the chance?

It appears later this afternoon he has asked for a range rover sport,, because he is getting a dog he is only 26years old ... I told him its time for pipe and slippers ,,, he is from Bolton...lol... Flame jacket on now


Have the feeling he is trying to get his Range Rover convincing the Directors the S3 can come to me and the Rocco to the Top sales Lad ..... God dam Salesmen hey,,, but this is how it works:

We get £400 notes for car allowance a month,, so we usually get Golfs or passats with goodies on i.e Leather DSG and the likes and usual good spec GT Sport or the likes

So i have been doing really well at work and asked for Rocco its 460-480ish a month with the 80% extra boxes i ticked ..

It seems a lot for the ABOVE but its solely down to mileage and i can do 25k a year for 3 years equates 75k which is a lot to a leasing company..

So the S3 comes in at £525 a month till next november 2010 so i pay £125 a month out of my money,, not mithered as i could not afford to buy and run a car like that daily..

I get Insurance in that plus servicing,, tyres,exhaust..etc.., + Audi assist + fuel card the lot so £125 isn.t too bad.

Ive spoken to the Director who i get on with great and his words is , If you take the S3 we can get another Rocco to your spec next November???

Im thinking he is keeping the Sales Manager Sweet for his Range Rover sport ,,, as in the current climate we have starting picking up immensely and for a 26year old lad he is very good at his job even if he is from Bolton....lol...

So anyway i turn round to my Boss MD and say

"well if i take the S3 Second hand ,,, talking like cheeky here next November i want the Scirroco R (Same Engine more or less as the S3 )".

And he said
" Well how much are they",, I said " About the same or a bit less than the S3" ,,, so he replied " Well i can.t see that being a problem then".....

So it might end up better for me in the long run...

Ive since texted all my car buddies who know about there cars and everyone of them said take the S3 its a No brainer

I really like the shape of the Rocco though

So as Sales Managers always seem to talk s hit and have a answer ,, he said its simple he gave me a little heads up of the top consistent sales Lad and said " Just swap between each other whenever you want ...No problem on the company insurance policy".

So is it a Plan or What

There is a management for full confirmation on Friday.. But if the Sales Manager has out to do with it it should go his way

i toyed with the s3 when buying the rocco, awsome car with the only critism being lack of steering feel, only thing that put me off was the £30K+ list price with toys, the car blew me away how good it was compared to normal a3s, given your predicament i'd be tempted by the s3, once you've sample K04 power you wnat more

I'd go with whatever one you prefer, right now.

Life's too short to worry about what may happen in future, imo.

Scirocco has already had a facelift, at least on the interior., this was discussed on here some time back, do a search, i wouldnt think there will be another faclift anytime soon.
