Replying to: kurtamaxxxguy (Mar 16, 2006 6:28 pm) That's not a bet that I'd take. The Caliber SRT4 has 225/45 R19 tires wrapped around 19" wheels, here's betting that not only would it be really rough on less than perfect pavement, the driver of a Caliber would be watching the taillights of an A3 pulling away on a tight road course. Best Regards, Shipo |

I was wondering if a Audi A3 2.0T Manual with the sport pkg, cold weather pkg, sound pkg, and Bi-Xenon headlights for a total of $31,470 out of the dealer is a good price. Can someone let me know. Thanks. Moto99

Replying to: moto99 (Mar 16, 2006 9:16 pm) Are you kidding? MSRP is $29,510. Did you forget to mention NAV system? My deal was $1000 over invoice with absolutely NO additional fees. No prep or marketing or any other add-on fees. I think I got a good and fair deal. You probably should be able to do a little better or a little worse depending on the dealer competition in your area. Use the TMV invoice pricing here on edmunds as a base and negotiate from there. |

In the DC Metro area, the aggressive dealers seem to be pricing the 3.2 on the internet for a little over $700 under MSRP. Looks like they are taking the $720 delivery charge off. What are people seeing in other areas? |

Thanks to all who post here. I just agreed to purchase a 2.0T MT, basically stripped, which is just about right for me. Prices, before tax, license, etc.: MSRP (Base, Paint, Destination) = 25,910. Invoice = 24,128. I just agreed to 24,800, which is 1,110 under MSRP and 672 over invoice. Purchased from Tucson Audi (Arizona). They did not have the combo I wanted (silver with with black interior), but there is one on its way in 3-4 weeks. I first tried the Subaru WRX wagon, which I liked quite a bit (esp. the seats), but it seemed to be somewhat of a step down in overall quality compared to the A3, especially the interior materials. Nice though. I tried the normally aspirated Outback and it was nice too, but I found it boring. Finally, I tried the new VW GTI given it's common platform and motor with the A3. Liked it, esp. the $3,000 less, and their willingness to sell just above invoice. It has some useful stuff standard than the A3 doesn't have or is an option (mp3 6-disk CD player, standard trip computer); I like the typical sunroof too. In the end, it's just a bit too much "boy racer" for this 41 year-old. So I sprung for the A3. First new car in 15 years!

Replying to: moto99 (Mar 17, 2006 5:51 pm) That's less than $500 below MSRP. You should be able to do better. My experience: First dealer wanted MSRP and eventually gave me $500 below MSRP and made it sound like some huge favor. I mentioned the Costco discount and they said they didn't participate in the Costco program because it wasn't "fair".  The second dealer would do Costco price ($750 over invoice) but there would be added fees and I would have to go through the fleet manager who seemed way to busy to spend much time with me. The regular salesman had treated me well so I agreed to buy from him at $1000 over invoice with no additional fees (about $1000 below MSRP). Try to negotiate from invoice price and watch out for a low price but with added dealer prep and other fees.
