Thank you for the reality check everyone.
 
I have contacted the originally dealer to see what they can tell me but I'm thinking this is a no go.
 
Appreciate your help.

My New A3 by sonnysi

Hi Guys,
I bought my A3 last Monday.
 
2.0T DSG Ocean Blue Color w/ Grey leather interior
Premium Package
Open Sky
Bose Sound
Bluetooth
 
I paid $250 over invoice, around $30,500 with 5.9% financing. I couldnt get 4.9% since my score was below 730
 
Car is great so far. the only problem I had that the sun blind latch is broken. I am takin it tomorrow to be replaced. I guess this is a very common problem with A3s.

When I run your car with your options on Edmunds I get a total invoice of $29,559. Sure your not an Audi dealer trying to drive up prices?

i dont think so. he listed the breakdown of everyitem from audi's price list and we ended up an invoice of $29.8k and $250 their mark-up and $ 200 for bringing the car ready for delivery.(standard fee for every audi, like washing, waxing, bringin it from other location and stuff like that. The exact purhase price is $30,250.
 
actually, i ended up paying $450 over the invoice.

Edmunds Invoice Prices Accurate? by jccai1

The MSRP prices provided by Edmunds seem to be off. They are generally $80-$100 lower than what I get from audiusa.com. Does that mean the invoice prices published by Edmunds are also a little off?
 
Assuming no hidden/bogus dealer add-on fees, what is a reasonable price to pay for the 2.0T DSG relative to invoice? $500 above? $700 above?
 
Thanks.

I think you are correct... Edmunds price looks to be $80 too low.. Perhaps a mid-year price increase that Edmunds.com hasn't updated yet..
 
As near as I can tell... the invoice price is also $80 too low.
 
As far as a reasonable price? I'll defer to any members who have bought or shopped for one.
 
regards,

Is probably the most correct figure. I don't see why or how Audi could justify an $80 increase on an already overpriced vehicle. They missed the mark by about $1,080. They'd of sold twice as many if they had lowered the price that much.

Value for the money? A3 3.2 S line by davefromnj

I'm sure this has been discussed before, but thought it would be ineffcient to read every post. I'm undecided between the 2.0 and the 3.2. I really want the 6 speed manual trans, but that's not available on the 3.2. Anyway, I guess the DSG trans is better for resale value. So, my question is the 3.2 worth the extra $8K (base price)? I test drove the 2.0 manual trans and i thought it felt quick and nimble. I should've tested the 3.2.

The question I always have for those who worry about resale value is, "How much is your enjoyment worth?" After all, you are buying this car for you, not for the next guy. Let's say that overall you were to lose $500 (I choose that number simply for the sake of argument), is your extra enjoyment of a true manual worth that much?
 
Regarding resale value, I really don't think that a 2.0T 6-Speed (with three pedals) is going to depreciate any faster than the 3.2 Quattro.
 
Best Regards,
Shipo
