Our goal was to get an A4 for less than 30K. We tried to find a used 2002 or 2003 non-quattro model with the premium package for 2 months, even had a person shopping the Audi factory auctions. The closest we could get with our desired color & equipment was only 3K under the cost of a new one. We decide that was not enough of a savings on a 1 year old car with 20,000 miles so we ordered new. We dealt with the internet sales person at Roger Jobs Motors. They hardly ever get FWD A4s here in the Pacific NW, so it was necessary to do a search for a FWD that was not loaded up with options (we did get the PPK package = leather 12-way power seats and sunroof). Salesgal seemed pretty open about their pricing. Normally they expect to get $1,800 profit on a new Audi. They discount that $400 for people who come to them thru the Internet. Without a lot of arm twisting, they came down another $300 for us. So our car's sale price was $28,050 (that includes an extra $150 for CA emissions equipment). While that is not a "steal" it beats Edmunds TMV in our area. We probably could have haggled for more, but felt like we got a good price, straight answers, and will continue to have a good relationship with our local dealer. |

Daniel-- *heh* here all this time I thought you were in CA. Roger Jobs is my dealer and it's an excellent dealership. They have a good reputation and I'm sure you'll be pleased with the service there. Give Tony a call or e-mail him on your question about how much the CA emissions will hurt performance ...if it does at all. He's the service manager and if he doesn't know, I'm sure he'll find out. Sounds like you made an excellent deal. It's difficult to get a "steal" on a new Audi here in the PNW. I talked about this on these Edmunds boards several years ago, ad nauseam. It was frustrating to me how folks in other parts of the country could make these fantastic deals and here in the PNW, we had almost "take it or leave it" pricing. I think it is somewhat better now that the economy has slowed but still, here in this region, we still seem to pay more for our Audis than anywhere else. I hope you'll have good luck and tremendously enjoy your new A4 when it arrives. --'rocco |

I got a quote for the A4 1.8T Tiptronic quattro with Premium and Infotainment Packages for $30,558 plus taxes, tags and a $303.85 processing fee. Any Suggestions / Comments on the price quote? Thanks |

I'm planning on buying a new 2004 A4 3.0 CVT...can anyone recommend an honest audi dealership with great customer service in either LA or Orange County? From reading these discussions and reviews, some Audi dealerships are hit or miss in regards to customer service, buying experience and maintenence issues. I am also curious to see how much people are paying for their A4's, especially in So. Cal. So keep posting. Thanks. |

Just purchased a 2004 A4 1.8T, Tiptronic, Quattro with Premium, Cold Weather, All Season Sport, and Lighting Packages. Paid $295.00 over invoice.....I think I did OK.... Bought it at Wausau Imports from Doug with NO hassles. I'll pick it up Thursday. |

Paid $295.00 over invoice.....I think I did OK.... I'd say you did very well. Here in SoCal, 1.8T quattros can be difficult to find. I paid about $1,200 over invoice for a 6 sp. with everything except the Cold Package and OnStar. My price was a tiny bit above the midway point between invoice and MSRP.. but it was still several hundred below what Edmunds was calling TMV in my zip code at the time. |

After almost 2 years of homework and comparisons of many makes and models, I choose to get the A4 3.0 6-speed. Problem was here in Memphis, there is only one Audi dealership, and they are terrible. I solicited bids from Nashville, Jackson, MS, and Little Rock. The salesman in Little Rock, well, ROCKS. Very helpful and courteous, sending me long and detailed emails on all my questions. I also choose the Little Rock dealer because I also have a house in Arkansas and is cheaper to title it there, and with lower state taxes than Tennessee. The fact that I wanted a manual tranny, etc., it will have to be ordered. I choose: 3.0 6-SPD Quattro Dolphin Grey Premium PKG Cold PKG Lighting PKG XM Infotainment Painted Bumpers I paid $37,500. Slighty more than TMV in my area...but I am happy. Dont have any firm dates yet - - anyone ordered something similiar? Im trying to get an estimate on delivery. Salesman said he has had some come in 1 month, or 3 months, just depends. Anyway, just relaying my experience. Out |

We just picked up our Dolphin Grey A4 1.8T CVT, premium package. Paid $28,265 before tax & license. We had to order it to get non-loaded version, took about 4 weeks. Thankfully our dealer found one in transit that was not claimed by another dealer. After driving 4 other models it was the driving position -- 12 way power seat & 4 way lumbar support -- that made the sale (esp. the wife) over a host of other less expensive cars (Accord, Acura TSX, Mazda 6 & Mazda 3). It will be driven primarily by my wife. Amazingly, our second choice would have been the much less expensive Mazda 3 hatch! We have driven it only 60 miles, so just learning all its tricks, but it certainly is a nice car with all sorts of nice touches we were not aware even after driving 3 of them before purchase. It may take us a few months just to learn how to take advantage of 'em all! |
