When Did Buying a Car Get so Stressful?

So we decided we wanted a nearly new Audi S3. Our local dealership didn’t have what we wanted, so they’re bringing over a 4 month old ex-demonstrator from England (we’re in Northern Ireland). DH is in the process of transferring the money in two transactions, due to restrictions imposed by our bank and I’ve been running round like a headless chicken changing insurance and trying to arrange a lift to the dealership. Then we have to rearrange the garage to get it to fit!

I don’t remember it being this stressful before

Still excited about collecting her on Saturday though

last 2 Audi i have bought from our local dealer, 1 weeks insurance was part of the deal giving you breathing space for getting yours changed to new car

, also paid on the spot with debit card?

OP. Good speech to buy a car a few months old. The savings can be enormous.
Enjoy it, there’s nothing like a new car

We are buying a new car, we have paid the deposit and have been promised delivery next week. I can just see this all going wrong though, the service and MOT on our current car is due on 30th December so we can’t afford any delay.

Thanks! We’ve had her for 2 weeks now and still learning what she can do. She has every possible option apart from the panoramic sunroof and we saved £9.5k off the list price. She has been christened Monster Red

OP. Just be careful with the S3.

My Daughters Partner bought an Audi RS3 and the house was screwed by some toe rags looking for the keys!

Thankfully they weren't there but they still wrecked the back door etc.

It's going to be sold in the next few weeks.

So it’s blue?

Nice motor. Garage it if you can ( or fully immobilise it.)
Enjoy

Trading our 2010 Meriva in next week for a 2016 Hyundai IX35 at Donnelly's on Boucher Road. The one thing I'm really going to miss is the panoramic roof!

Oh it’s kept garaged - you’ve no idea how stressful it was squeezing it in first time

It’s so sad that you can’t spend your hard earned money on something you like without some low life thinking they can have it for free

I’m hoping they’d find my neighbours’ son’s Focus ST more attractive because it’s not kept garaged overnight and that neighbours’ dogs barking would scare them away.
