Replying to: gigg1es (Jun 11, 2009 12:44 pm) Hi Giggles,   Remember that there are a lot of numbers dealers can throw at you. Important ones to note are MSRP, Dealer Invoice (which is what they say they got the car from the manufacturer for but not really), Dealer Cost (which is the true mystery in the whole process). These should all reflect before TTL (Tax, Title and License fees since these will vary from state to state), but include destination fees (about $825). OTD (Out the Door) is literally what you will pay bottom line for the car.   I'll be quite frank, I think the TMV (True Market Value) quoted in Edmunds and other online resources are currently high and dealers are willing to go well below the Dealer Invoice price. My Dealer Invoice with all the options was $38,500 and I got the car for $36,000 before TTL. Edmunds TMV currently shows $37,500. My OTD was just north of $40K and includes the chunk of tax amounting to nearly $3,600 going to the Governator. The MSRP shows $40,150 on the actual sticker. NOTE: my price was BEFORE my Conquest cash back of $1,000 and them paying the first two payments (valued at $2,400).   I'm assuming your car is showing: MSRP $32,600 Dealer Invoice $30,400 TMV $30,500   My advice: 1) give them a low price even lower than the $29K you are thinking of...$27K, $28K. I don't think this is ridiculous particularly when you say several dealers have contacted you about the exact car. If you have a good friend who's been thru the process, bring them along to keep you level headed. At $28K + TTL, you should be OTD at just around $30-31K. 2) wait if possible. Do you really need this car ASAP? They are more willing to sell a car / make a deal near the end of the month to make sales figures...if you wait a couple weeks , they may be more willing to give in to your offer. 3) I assume you are financing this...are they offering to pay for any payments? See if there are manufacturer incentives which can help since it doesn't come out of the Dealers pocket. 4) See how many other dealers have the same car and work them off each other. I had 3 dealers basically trying to get my business. 2 had the exact car I wanted and the first quoted me at over $39K + TTL. It took me 2 weeks to get 2 of the dealers down to $36K + TTL. They even thew in some accessories to sweeten the deal in the end. I signed the deal just before May 31. 5) be willing to walk away from a Dealer if you feel they are trying to play games with you or if you don't feel that you are getting what you ask for.   I have to admit that my starting point was very easy. One of the local dealers had a "Garage Sale" for a few days with completely ridiculous deals. I missed it but leveraged that info to basically let the dealers know that I knew they could make some great deals and showed it to them. This was the third new car I've bought in my life (Honda, Acura now Audi) and each time, I feel I could've gotten a better deal. Saying that, your initial feeling sounds like it may hold you back from getting a killer deal. I've had dealers show me the Dealer Invoice and say, "I can't go below that since this is what I paid for it" and a week later, they're willing to sell for $2,000 under that figure.   Where are you in CA? NorCal or SoCal? Let me know how I can get you some info.   Bear

Replying to: gigg1es (Jun 11, 2009 12:44 pm) The key points are   1) Set a price point that you will not compromise, e.g. $1500 below invoice before rebates and/or 2 payments by Audi 2) Do everything online until you get someone to agree to the price you want, do NOT go to the dealer before that 3) Make sure the price includes all dealer fees, e.g. documentation/prep fees before you go to the dealer 4) You must be prepared to not to get the deal you want, but be firm and walk if need be 5) Wait till the end of the month before committing to any deal
#1283 of 1538 Price for Prestige trim line by anitha Jun 14, 2009 (9:57 pm)
Hi all, I finally bought a prestige model for $38,200. It is $1,000 less than the invoice price the dealer showed. I I guess I did okay in negotiating. The salesman too gotta make some money in this transaction, right?
#1284 of 1538 Incentives by montrota Jun 15, 2009 (6:02 am)
Where did you find all the incentives available? Audi doesn't list them on their website. Replies to this message: anitha (Jun 15, 2009 11:05 am)

Replying to: montrota (Jun 15, 2009 6:02 am) I didn't see any listed on the website. But the dealer told me about the incentives. 3.9% apr (60 months) and Audi paying two payments.

#1287 of 1538 2007 A4 2.0T Quattro by kevin34 Jun 15, 2009 (3:33 pm)
Hi,   My 30 month lease was up at the end of May which I extended a month. The buyout price is 23.6k, the dealer offered to throw in a 2 year extended. I was allotted 30k in mileage but the car only has 16k miles on it. The sticker price is $34.3k which includes the premium package. I've been trying to find a good used car to replace it but am I overlooking a potential deal here?   Audi Financial said it would give me a $2200 credit card but not sure if this would in conjunction with the extended warranty or not.   Any advice much appreciated!   Thank you
#1288 of 1538 A4 Avant Premium Plus by jabeeva Jun 16, 2009 (1:37 pm)
Trying to get a price on a 2009 A4 Avant w/ Premium Plus. A dealer has offered $36,890 (including $1000 conquest cash).   According to Edmunds the Invoice on this car is $36,955 w/o metallic paint (I prefer blk). The dealer considers invoice to be $37,789, this includes $834 of dealer costs (prep fee, port and advertising fee, etc.). Have you found any wiggle room in these fees?   Is this a good deal? I live in NY and got the deal from a Long Island dealer. Thoughts? Suggestions?

#1289 of 1538 2008 Audi A4 by bob269 Jun 16, 2009 (4:17 pm)
I'm looking at a used 2008 Audi A4 Quattro Premium with 13,000 miles. Vehicle is not Audi certified pre-owned. Dealer is asking $27,000 on internet. Original MSRP was $34,850. Dealer purchased car in an out-of-state auction.   I am having a hard time figuring out where to start negotiation. I looked at blue book value for a trade-in, and that’s approx $22,000 in excellent condition. Is that a reasonable estimate of dealer’s cost? Should I go lower given that they picked it up in an auction?   What do you all think is a fair price? And what is a good starting price for negotiation?   Also, what are thoughts on going used w/o CPO certification? Vehicle has 37,000 miles and 27 months left on original warranty. I’m not going to put a lot of miles on the car – I don’t drive to work.   Any thoughts are much appreciated.

Replying to: jabeeva (Jun 16, 2009 1:37 pm) Horrible deal, you should get it for $2500 less what the dealer is asking. Get more offers.
