When I was talking to my guy at delivery he said he was on track to sell 125 cars this year. So he can afford to give better deals because he isn't "as" focused on his bottom line because he makes it up in volume. Also, the funny thing about looking up the actual invoice price on Edmunds.com and the invoice the dealer will admit to is night and day. That PDI charge is built in profit to assure they make money. Especially with a company like Audi that doesn't offer hold backs to their dealerships. Go for invoice, add $500 and that is the lowest the dealers will even think of going. In most cases add another $500 on top and you get what I paid. That is how it works. |

Replying to: richz (Sep 22, 2004 4:42 pm) Sorry to tell you Bud, but I got the identical car minus the lighting and cold weather package...mine had the sports package not just 17 inch wheels, for a sale price of $29,700. Did yours have an automatic with quattro? |

Hi, I am looking at the 1.8T with CVT (MSRP $27,000). The options I'd like are: lighting package (MSRP $950), premium package (MSRP $2000), wheel locks (MSRP $85). The invoice, including destination, is $28,880. What should I pay for this car? Is $500 over invoice feasible? I am in the Los Angeles area. Oh, I am also cosidering a TSX. Thanks!

Replying to: cota99 (Nov 02, 2004 6:22 pm) My advise is $500 above invoice and then add another $500 for what Audi calls a "PDI" charge. Which is a Post Delivery Inspection charge. Then add $200-$500 on top of that and that is what they could consider $200-$500 above invoice. I just bought a 2005 1.8t 5-Speed that listed for $30,860. The true invoice was 28,486. I thought I would be able to get it for 28,946. I have been an Audi owner for 6 years and the lowest I could get was $29,700. Also, the TSX is a peice of crap. I test drove that car twice before I bought my A4. The demo car was falling apart. I have read TSX owners write about 2nd rate build quality on the TSX model. That is why they can charge $4k less than an A4. Take my advise, get the A4. I am REALLY happy I did. The Audi's build quality is superior.

I am trying to buy an A4 3.0 Quattro..just starting the process. Local dealer emailed today with info about Special Edition A4's coming soon. How does one get the invoice for this? Just want to make the best deal possible. Thanks for any info.

Replying to: cota99 (Nov 03, 2004 1:42 pm) 1) The A4 styling, with painted bumpers and dual exhaust, looks a lot better than the 3-Series. Also the front end on the non-coupe 3-Series is much more plain than the A4. 2) A 3-Series optioned out the same as my A4 was $5,500 more. Yes! $5,500 more! 3) The interior of the A4 is much more luxurious than the 3-Series. 4) The front wheel drive makes the A4 safer than the 3-Series even if the performance isn't quite as good. 5) Audi's warranty is just as good as the BMW, but the car costs less. 6) The Audi was much less to insure than the BWM. And at $500 less a year that was important. 7) The BMW dealer wouldn't deal as much as Audi. All of those factors combined and the fact that the Audi was a really fun/luxurious car helped me decide on the A4. Also, the BMW residual value is only 1% higher than the A4.
