feedback please - audi a4 2009, premium plus by hungster10

Hey all,
 
I've recently purchased an 2009 Audi A4 with PremiumPlus package. In general, I absolutely love my car. However, I found what I consider a minor issue and it somewhat bothers me. Wanted to know if you are experiencing the same with your Audi A4 2009.
 
Here's the issue: when I approach a stop sign or traffic light and stop completely (fully press on the brake pedal) then it feels fine except the feeling of being jerked a bit b/c I stop too fast. When I slow down about 98% and let the car rolls until it completely stops then I will get something I called "hiccups" (not sure if this is the best way to describe it but it similar to what you would experience when driving manual trans and your clutch and gas aren't in sync. make sense).
 
The issue isn't so obvious but I know it's there. It seems as if the transmision is confusing on whether it should be in d2, d1, or whatever when slowing down.
 
Question...any of you experience this with your 2009 Audi A4?
 
I am going to make a trip to my dealer but wanted to see what you guys have to say. Thanks.
 
Hung

Hello Dino11,
 
I am going to be leasing a the new 2009 A4. My Audi dealership is in Jersey and I wanted to use this example as a starting point for negotiations. I was hoping that you can tell me the name and any other information pertaining to where you got this lease deal.
 
I am also returning my Audi A4 to them and was wondering if there is anything I can get out of them for this as well.
 
If anybody else recently leased an Audi A4 in the North Eastern region of the United States, please post any information available on the deal you received.

DCH Audi - Andrew
2 months of lease payment were paid to me by check. I returned car 2 months early.
 
I suggest you give DCH a try.. You might also try Bell Audi but I did not do nearly as well pricewise.
 
For the routine service work, I take my car into a local Audi dealer - never had a problem refusing to work on my car.

Buying a new A4 by slcbuyer

Hi all,
 
Thanks so much for posting all your comments and experiences here, it really helps a newbie like me help make up my mind better. I have been following Dino's post, and have some questions about what I should pay for my A4, prem plus, with Nav, Ibis white color.
 
I am in Salt Lake City, and have come to a price of 37000 for the car. Please help me out, and let me know if this is a good deal. I asked the dealer about audicare, he isint including that, no exhaust tips either, 2.9% financing for 60 months+ TTL.
 
Any comments?

the car you describe is the same as what i ordered- prem plus, NAV except that it is missing the "wood" and the metallic paint (silver ice) I got. Ibis white isnot a metallic paint. So, take my capitalized cost of 37203 and subtract the cost of metallic paint ($443) and wood ($373) =36,387. The prices for metallic piant and wood ( both invoice) are from Edmunds. I got Audi care thrown in but realzie that it is only for 3 years/36miles. The 5k service is always free so i got a 15k, 25k and 35k service. If you buy the car there will be additional services thrown in with Audi care. You will have to take a guesstimate on this. Now check out for differences in dealer incentives for purchasing versus leasing. I believe the push from Audi is for folks to buy rather than lease. With leasing, they or the dealer gets the car back at the end of the lease and has to resell. Good luck!

Thanks a lot! The dealer says that he won't go lower than 37K, so I will try to bargain with him, if not, just drop it. I am buying the car, as you said, so can I expect further price negotiations in that?

its always a horse trade. bottom line is there another convenient audi dealer? do you really want an audi? if so, dats all there is.
 
as far as negotiations go, you strike a price, and that's it. And, you are miles away from me. the offer i got was in New Jersey and you are in Salt Lake UUUUUUUUtah.. The land of powder snow. Promontory Point. Thiokol - in the middle of nowhere for good reason.
 
Would you come to new Jersey to save a couple of hundred bucks and drive the car back? So, look for the best deal in your area and enjoy your new car.

I'm about to purchase a 2008 Audi A4 2.0 Tiptronic Quattro Sedan, with prem pkg, convenience pkg, audio pkg, audi navigation, blue tooth and heated front seats.
 
How much should I offer? I was thinking around 30k since its a 2008.

I did something similar back in July/August - I bought an 07, 6MT, 2.0T. I paid 30 for it, similar except no Navigation. I paid 30k. I think it had around 14 miles on the odometer (1-2 test drives). Very happy so far. I keep my cars until they no longer run, so I was not worried with the fact it was an 07.
 
Definitely be aggressive on the pricing. I think if you get it for 30k you are doing well (considering nav is $$$).
