Did I get a good part-exchange deal for a new Audi TT?

I ordered a new Audi TT back in June for delivery next week, and although committed to the deal, I would very much welcome your view on how good (or bad) it is. I ordered a new (2011 model) Audi TT 2.0T FSI Quattro Sport S-Tronic (211PS) at a list price of £29,420. Options fitted: Metallic paint £500, full leather interior £550, cruise control £215, Bluetooth £245 and a multi-function steering wheel £180. The total list price on the road was £31,110.

My part-ex is an Audi A4 Avant SE 2.0TDI (143PS) multi-tronic, registered July 2009 with 11,000 miles, in Quartz Grey Metallic with Grey fabric interior. Other options fitted are: DVD Satnav, Bluetooth and six-disc CD. The price to change is £10,400. What do you think of this deal?

Not a deal I would have done. I wouldn't suffer first year depreciation on anything to go out and buy another new car at Audi prices. But your A4 trade books at £19,000 + the extras, so the dealer has played fair and given you something off. Not a lot, but something.
