i priced both up before i singed up to the 8R, as i do like the S3 but the 8R was much more of a preference. managed to get both to pretty much the same deal, only difference was the S3 has leather, but i prefer the cloth anyway so that wasnt an issue. Didnt know about the brakes / old 4wd so even more please now! now im itching to get mine time is dragging so much 😭 -

yes its also based on co2., so the first year is around £900GBP, and the second year is based on CO2 PLUS an extra £325 of whatever that figure is if the car is over £40k. This extra is for the first 5 years. -

you have to pay an extra £325 per year road tax. as a minimum the extras i wanted pushed it over 40 so added more on that i wanted after that 😄 -

just had a call from the dealer, with the good news that the apr has gone down so a little saving on my monthlies - always nice! he also said that they have been told by VW that they are not accepting any more orders for the R at present - he tried to put one through this morning and had problems and this is what he was told?! -

thanks, yes i presumed that and they have used discount from that to offset to car cost to get where i wanted to be. i appreciate your comments obviously know what you are doing so will deffo get them to NOT use it and i will try to swap it with them or sell it then use a local detailing company. if they offer any swaps i will let you know 🙂 -

ah ok, got it! the dealer i bought off part of the deal was the lifeshine, i tried to get it taken off and use the 350 as discount bu they said if they removed it it wouldnt make a difference to the monthly cost (i guess they discounted that to get to the number i wanted) from what you say, and now i just googled this, i dont want them touching mine either 🙂 i will ask them to not touch it and just give me the product and get a local detailer to do it -
