I finally purchased an A4 2.0T Quattro with Prestige and Nav (in California) - ice silver metallic, black interior. Price was 39.5K before the taxes, AFS 2 payments, and the audi care package. Taxes were around 4K+ and the audi care was 740. I want to warn you that the dealer tried to give me the loan 1% higher (2.9%) than what AFS is offering. I noticed that (at that point all the number start to look the same) and pointed it out to him. He said that's what Audi is offering. When I said that I know about AFS offers right now and made some noise, he said that he will put in 1.9%. After that I got the deal done. Be alert guys! Loving every minute in the new car! I felt that it was a good deal. Any comments? ~k

We keep our cars for 10-15 years, so saving a few thousand bucks isn't the most important part of the deal. We are ecstatic over our (her) new A4 Quattro. Made us wish the 8 hour drive to the wine country took even longer, and the dogs had tons of room in back with the rear seats folded down. (Funny, but little things, like a huge rear seat pass-through make a more significant difference in our lives than do more obvious things like two-zone climate control or a back-up camera.) Anyway, I'm glad we spent a long time looking for the car that she is going to love for years and years. She has already said that she'd be ready to give her car to me if we had bought the Acura TL or the Lexis i300. It might be a while before she offers this car to me.) I was loving the transmission on the way here. On the highway, it shifts smoothly with no attention needed. On the mountain roads, the Tiptronic makes it as fun to drive as a sports car. The only problem is the smoothness/180mph-speedometer combination. A couple of times I thought that all surrounding traffic was going slow only to look down and realize that we were going 90. I'm going to have to do some research on speeding tickets and see when it's worthwhile to risk it.

Replying to: anitha (Jul 01, 2009 3:30 pm) Thank you. I thought you got the sports package with it too? I have been reading so many posts  , so I am not sure. Mine's the 2.0T engine too, not sure if you got that one. ~K |

Replying to: krish9 (Jul 02, 2009 1:22 pm) As I said before, it's nice to get a good deal, but the Audi has unexpectedly paid off in compliments from friends. I can't count the number of people we know who have come up to us and said, cars are my life and this is a -really- nice car. So, more power to you if you can save another $500, but more important to do what you want before you get hit by a bus. Anyway, this whole experience left me wondering. If Edmund's TMV Pricing isn't the final word, what's the best strategy for buyers? Does it all boil down to endlessly shopping the deal? I'm due for a new car myself and if I can't figure out the "best" way to buy, I'll just never pull the trigger.

I compiled a few stats on June's Cdn numbers from the newswire... AJAX, ON, July 2 /CNW/ - Audi Canada achieves best first half ever: - 1106 units represent best June in Audi Canada history - 52% ahead of June '08 sales - Year to date sales up by 17% Audi Canada today reported that 1106 units were registered for the month of June. The leading models in terms of sales were the A4 and A4 Avants, the all-new Audi Q5, the Audi Q7 and the A3. Other stats about June's numbers (all #s compared to June 2008; Source: CBC.ca, Thursday, July 2, 2009 | 5:22 PM ET): - Volkswagen sales were the highest in nine years, up 15.8% - Hyundai Auto Canada Corp. up 26 % - Kia Canada sales up 37.9 % - Nissan (incl. Infiniti) up 3.5% - Honda sales down 20 % - Toyota down 17% (incl. Lexus) - Chrysler down "more than 50 %" - Ford cars down, but truck sales surging 36 % - GM's car sales down almost 40 per cent, and truck sales down 20 % |
