Any news about when, if at all, we might see A4s in dealer showrooms with manual transmissions? How about with just FrontTrak? I notice on the Audiusa website, you can't even configure a manual A4 yet, let alone an A4 without Quattro.

Hi everyone, I am considering a new Audi either A4 or A6. I have an A4 lease that is will go back mid-Dec so I will qualify for the $1500 loyalty cash. In addition, I quality for the Audi Supplier Discount program though my employer. I was wondering how this figures in with other discounts, incentives and possible negotiations? Should I be able to negotiate a price and then get the supplier discount and loyalty cash on top of that? Thanks, Ron

I've very much appreciated the information shared here. Thank you to all! Since I just put down my deposit on my car I figured it is my turn to share (hoping detail is clear and valuable) * I live in Manhattan and shopped NY/NJ and CT metro area * Solicited costs using edmunds and other online quote request services * edmunds shows MSRP at $37,525 incl Dest., invoice at $34,911 and TMV at $37,278 * Started about 3 weeks ago, but took a detour while exploring RAV4's until I test drove it and realized somewhat cheap feeling - don't think this helped but who knows * Seduced back into Audi consideration by an offer at $300 over invoice for car I wanted - only later realized there is a marketing fee of about $400 added making their invoice essentially $35,300 and quote at $35,600 * Was still on fence until I got a quote for $34,300! I quickly checked around to make sure no one else could beat it and was tipped-off that the dealer was probably using 2 "conquest coupons" (?) to generate the additional $1000 below Audi-invoice. Several other dealers offered to sell at Audi invoice ($35,300) but not to beat it since I did not own a car making me coupon eligible. * Questioned original $34,300 quote dealer and he agreed he was planning on using conquest coupons and was dismayed to learn that I don't own a car (I live in Manhattan and most of us don't). Perhaps feeling embarrassed he agreed to go $35k flat. * So, I put down the deposit tonight and he is finding the car as we speak (awaiting call-backs from 4 dealers with right car). He promises it within 10 days. So I got the car at $35k + $149 doc fee which is $99 over edmunds invoice or $300 below audi invoice. I also had several dealers offering at their dealer invoice. My advice is shoot for dealer invoice or better if you can qualify for loyalty or conquest contributions. Oh yeah, I also decided to put down 10% and pay-off the rest in 36 months at 2.9%. Payments are kinda big but at that rate it was worth minimizing the down payment. They also have 3.9% on 48 months. (I'm not sure how strict they are on credit quality to qualify but mine is stellar at 800. I've heard you need over 700 to qualify for this rate.) Hope this helps. I'll check back for any questions. Rick

Replying to: pidan (Dec 03, 2008 1:56 am) In retrospect yours appears to be good advice. Carsdirect is showing invoice at $35,146 but didn't see what they were actually able to deliver. My dealer now appears to be waiving the $149 doc fee so think I ended up at the same place but did require a bit more effort - mainly checking to see if others could beat it. My bad for not checking it out. Sounds like you got a really great car at a really great deal! Enjoy!

Just picked up my '09 A$ premium + tonight and was thrilled to learn the seasonal promotion they are running on leases extends to financed purchases as well. I put down 10% on flat $35k purchase at 2.9% over 36 months with resulting monthly payments of about $920. Audi USA is going to cover one of those. This takes my final cost down to near as $34k! Not sure if this is new or if not how I missed it but I sure am pleased! Love the car too!
