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 % |

I just got my car about a month and a half ago- an Audi A4 2009. I looked at all the prices that Edmunds listed (TMV vs. Inventory, etc...) I went to Rusnak dealership in Pasadena, CA and was able to get below Inventory price plus fees on a premium plus package with navigation, the ipod connector and a color upgrade to the paint. I paid cash so I have no idea about financing. As far as service, unfortunately I know how this is already. I had a problem already. They have fixed my car and had it back to me in a matter of days each time it was in the shop. They paid for my rental car (a Mercedes or better each time) and have detailed my car for free. They were not as accomodating until I had to lay into them for various reasons- 1) some punk working there nearly ran me over in my car, 2) they just cleared the fault and did no work 2 times ago which required me to come back this last time. I'm hoping that the problem is fixed now, though, and I don't have to keep running in there every couple of weeks.

Replying to: rascal99 (Jul 13, 2009 8:28 am) My new bf is a mechanic, though, so I think that by him calling in as well having self diagnosed the problem, that made them think about how they are going to treat my car. They did keep it for a few days to take their time with it and they said it was with a senior technician, who has 20+ years in the business. So I hope that the repair stays fixed. |

Replying to: ilikeike (Jul 15, 2009 10:32 pm) Don't forget that the amount that you pay may differ from what other people are getting because of competition in your area. People in southern CA or NY city have lots of Audi dealerships near by and get better deals than those who's dealership is a few hours drive. |

Replying to: ilikeike (Jul 15, 2009 10:32 pm) That said, I did another TMV as of 2 minutes ago and guess what? Avant + Premium Package + Metallic paint and a few other small options (same configuration as of 5/21) is now $35,250! That's less than 2 months ago and now it looks like I paid $750 OVER TMV rather than $1,600 under. If I said I could get the car for $1,500 under TMV TODAY, that would indeed be an impressive deal and would price the car at $33,750. Time should be factored into your research since TMV moves around (and by quite a bit as of lately). So could I have done better? I dunno. I also got $1,000 cash back (after the $36,000) and my first two payments paid for. Did others get similar deals? TMV won't show that. Don't try and read too much into these things...you'll just go crazy saying "what if?" Stop looking at these forums and enjoy the car...
