Firstly please excuse the wander over from the dark side hehe

Having spent last Friday wandering around the Frankfurt show I've become rather smitten with the S5 and even more so with the rumoured RS5 that may be coming. I'm fully prepared to wait until the RS5 is built (as surely they are going to in order to offer a lunatic 2+2 coupe in the range) but need a decent dealer (Essex, Kent, Sussex, Surrey preferred but will travel further if required) with decent sales folk recommended to me.

I'm happy to drive to a dealer who folks here recommend if they are prepared to take me seriously. I am willing to provide a letter of intent ASAP, a deposit of £1K when Audi announce they will build the car and a further increase (up to £5k total) when I can spec the car and receive a delivery date.

Any pointers will be appreciated.

Firstly I don't think you are going to see the RS5, If you want a good dealership, Ipswich Audi are very good, Steve is your man on sales.

Nah

Your best bet would be to speak to Patrick de Silva at Guildford Audi. Stopped in to have a chat with him a little while back about the R8 as I have a couple of questions about it as I have an order for one at a different dealers and told him so and he was still exceptionally helpfull taking loads of time to explain things get me info show me round the car again the works even went so far as to offer me another test drive at a later stage of the game and even called me back a couple days later to check I was happy with service and to say pop round for a drive when im ready even though car is not ordered through him.

I grant you after such great service I am thinking of moving my order to his dealership as i feel more appreciated.
Definitely THE man to deal with.
