RS3 8Y Ordering and Spec

Would be intersted to know if anyone has been watching prices on the secondary market? I've been keeping an eye on carsales.com and following a peak earlier this year, it does look like a lot more cars are coming down in price. I've received multiple notifications over the last few weeks for multiple price reductions on various cars in my watch list. A couple as low as $110,000-$112,000 before on-roads. Does seem to mostly be either black or white sportbacks. Am I imagining this?

You're 100% correct, ive been screenshotting and tracking a lot of the prices since last year, it's defs gone down from 130s - 110s.

personally praying that I can pick a sedan up ~90 late 2025!

Paying $2950 for a 2016 RS3 with RACV. I shopped around last month. Was only able to receive 2 quotes (most wouldn't quote online) one for $3300, and one for $1600 with Budget Direct. I've had good experiences with RACV so stayed with them.

I'm paying $1450 with budget direct for my 2016 RS3. Rating one with up to 10,000 KMs per year. I've had very good experiences with them

Out of interest have you ever made a claim with them Xristo? I've heard some negative stories, and from memory they don't offer choice of repairer which does not sit well with me.
 
Still got an RS3, Daytona grey sedan available at RRP ($111K drive away) in Melb, brand new from the dealer if anyone is keen.

Give me a shout if so, rather it not go back to the dealer for them to flog for a stupid mark-up :)
 
So just had an.. experience... at Audi Penfold Waverley.

I had a taker from here to transfer my 8Y order (as I ended up with 2 build allocations) passing it on at cost ($111k)

The dealer is refusing to transfer the order into someone else's name, saying I take it and register it in my name or he cancels the order for him sell himself... Not surprised as this is the same dealer that sold their demonstrator RS3 for a $10k mark-up the day it arrived, after promising test drives to those with pre-orders.

Such a shame as the old sales manager at Waverley was incredible, an older German guy who had worked for Audi for 20 years.

I'm just so infinitely glad I did end up with a second order through Zagame, if I had only ordered 1 I would genuinely have considered ditching it and buying an M340i x-drive just so I didn't have to deal with the dealership!

Some dealers are better than others. I have a sportsback on order since Dec 2021 and my dealer gives me updates, even if the update is "no update". More recently the update has changed to "do you want a sedan, we have a few coming in soon" so some orders must have been cancelled and those builds are now being resold.

I'm just patiently waiting for my sportsback, and its nearly been two years, with no ETA in the future.

Yes, that's about what we heard from Barry Bourke when we had our RSQ3 serviced recently.
They're not taking orders for RS3, but they may or may not be notified by Audi, that they've been "allocared" a car, so if they know you could be interested, they'll give you a call, to see if you're "interested" in a car they've been allocated.
