I've found the best experience at Fred Baker Audi. Extremely friendly and helpful sales staff. What really won me over was their service area. It's one of the largest service areas I've seen, but also one of the cleanest. I've seen the service area in action when I took my boss's A6 in for routine maintenance. There is a lot of care taken in the vehicles and the equipment used on the vehicles. They were able to offer me a good deal on a 2002 A4 3.0 Quattro - around $1700 over invoice. Can't wait to pick it up tomorrow! I've spent time looking at a couple of other dealers in the area, and none of them compare to Fred Baker. They've also won numerous awards for sales and service. |

| 1700 over invoice? that's quite impressive considering the car. i live in san francisco, and most of the high end dealerships here stick pretty close to the MSRP. do you think location makes a difference in the way dealers negotiate their prices? i thought i got a good offer when i was quoted 1,000 bucks below edmund's true market value. i ordered the 3.0 quattro (manual) anyway. it should be fun when it arrives. | |

The pricing that is offered by the dealers is based upon several factors, some of which include the demand of the vehicle in that area, how many the dealer will receive to sell, how the dealer wants to do business (either wants to help everyone get a new car or feels that if you have to ask, then you're not "worthy" of their cars), and what profit margin the dealer wants to make in order to run a successful business. I feel that I was able to get a good deal. I feel that you were able to do the same. I've heard of some people lucky enough to get $500 over invoice while others could only get $500 under MSRP. In the end, we're all ending up with a really great car Regardless of how others around the world fare in their transactions, if you feel that you've done the best you can in getting a price that is fair to you and fair with the dealer, then you have achieved your goad and should be happy with it. |

I shopped for a '02 A4 at the Detroit Metro dealers - Bill Cook and Fred Lavery. The salesperson at Bill Cook was courteous, patient and appeared genuinely interested in making the sale. The moment I walked into Fred Lavery, I got the feeling that I was not welcome. Eventually I bought my car from Bill Cook, and he gave me a great deal as well. No service need so far, but I am totally satisfied with my purchase experience. N |

| Does any have any information on Advantage Audi and Momentum Audi in Houston? Also, Loeber Motors in Chicago? | |

|
| I bought a used A4 and I was provided a service report that is all codes. Where can I find out what these are without going to a dealer? | |

Audi in Huntingdon Valley (near NE Philly). I just got A4 from there, and I was very impressed with my dealer. I recommend him to everybody. I will know what I'm saying. Jim Murphy 215-938-0600 |

I was also happy to buy from them, and those people are nice. (service dep people too. <-this is important for free maintenance!!) good luck guys who are looking for audi. |

| I've had a 97 Audi A4 since 97. While the car was under the 3 yr bumper to bumper all was fine. The car handles great, could be faster (it's the automatic), could get better mileage (~23) but is great in snow and handles well. Once the warranty ran it, so did all the mechanical equipment in the car. I've had computer, radio, brake and control rod problems. I've had to bring the car back to the dealer multiple times for the same problem. This has happened on multiple occasions with 2 dealers. The mileage is just over 50,000. Things shouldn't be breaking this early. Audi service seems to generally suck. I bought the car in northern Va and HBL sucks and came up to Massachusetts and the dealer out by Worcester sucks. These cars are expensive to operate. No wonder there is a 3 yr bumper to bumper, no one would buy them otherwise. I will not be buying another Audi. | |
| Has anyone used them for service? If so, how was your experience with them? I just got an Audi A4 from them, and I want to know what to expect. | |
