Audi A3 Sedan/Sportsback Owners - Check In

[richard_crl032]

I couldn't find any information on a 7 Speed DQ250..

I'm quite sure the Q2 1.4 TFSI uses DQ200 as the information is widely available.

Also on Audi Singapore, they seem to stop selling A3 1.4

 

Hi Bean,

 

Time to go test drive the A3 1.4 with advice from gaoxing that he just did so.

 

Congras in advance ....

 

Cheers,

 

Richard

Their so called "overtrade" is simply used to inflate your loan amount and reduce your upfront downpayment. Not exactly a discount for your trade-in car.

Hello Richard,

 

I'm not actually based in SG, but like to provide advise to current or potential A3 owners as I drive a similar class.

[richard_crl032]

just called audi to confirm.

 

when you want to trade in and ask for overtrade.

 

they will use the list price of $142,480. Not the promotional price of $121,199 for A3 1.4.

 

They say $142,480 - $20481 (This will be your overtrade) = $121,199 - your car value they take in.

 

abit bo hua already.

 

i thought is $121,999 - overtrade - car trade in = then remaining is what i pay.

 

tsk might as well sell my car outside and pay 121,199.

 

Hi GaoXing,

 

It is like that and not unusual... mentioned lowest price especially during promotion is already with trade-in.

 

If without trade-in car, there may be penalty just like specific oan or insurance conditions which sure, you have to nego cos this is way SE have avenue to make more $ especially Jap cars AD and hence they can "give" freebies of dvr, car mat etc. etc. but there are also exception during bad times for car sales beyond which needs their managers to approved ... like now.

 

Cheers,

The 2k upgrade to 1.4 was advertised at the previous roadshow at Suntec. Was quoted $119,999 at the roadshow for the 1.4 as the 1.0 was at $117,999. Not sure the offer still stand now. Just wait for next promo especially the audi show in october sure get the same promo or maybe even better.

Seems to be a safe driver tho, travelling beside him from west coast road. Without reving much can feel the vibrations beside, cant imagine if he press pedal all the way down. Where in singapore can test the power?

Not many places, even the open roads here in Aust, very hard to test the power.. have to bring it to track..
