Thinking of buying an S5

[ZeroX]

Hi, I am looking to replace my old car for an S5, but I don't really know anything about Audi's.

I am looking for a 2017 car specifically so I can avoid the high tax for cars registered before the 1st of March 2017, and so I can avoid the excess tax you have to pay on cars that were £40,000 or more at list price.

I had seen a blue one at Sytners in Nottingham but when I called up it had been sold a few days earlier (that old chestnut!).

My main concern is about options; I have been stung before when buying from dealerships and I don't want it to happen again. What options should I be looking for when buying?

Thanks!

Definitely look at YouTube videos. Tech packs and virtual cockpit are desirable

Hi Steve, sorry not sure what you mean? Do you mean of cars that are for sale that you can see inside?

Thanks!

Sorry I mean YouTube for buyers guides.

Hi Steve, ah ok! I have had a look at a few but I am a bit confused! Some videos refer to the virtual cockpit but they seem to imply it is a standard item; but is this not the case?

Thanks!

I could have sworn it's an extra, or it was when it first came out.
