Replying to: moto99 (Mar 26, 2006 6:05 pm) I originally got quoted in early February $25,815 for a non-metallic DSG A3 base/cloth optionless (besides DSG) model. Thats a good starting offer. Next.... I find I can't live with the quirks and imperfections of a base stripper model. Add Sport package and metallic paint. Clearly, on any website, you can see these two adds total $2,048 invoiced. So I should be around $27,850 right? Nope. They want $28,300. I should tell that dealer to go to hell, since they tried to say they were only $500 over cost on that offer.

If the dealer does not have many on the lot, there is no incentive to deal. If you want to bargain hard, you need to go for an Audi that is not moving for whatever reason (like unpopular options or lack of popular options) or pick another brand. Volvo dealer in my area is dealing hard with V50s to the tune of $3-5k. I was offered $3k off just walking in the door and another $1k over the phone. 3) Lying about invoice is just stupid in this day and age. Invoice prices are just too easy to get.

Replying to: ccd1 (Mar 25, 2006 5:37 pm) FYI, I'm a boomer, and ditto most dudes I hang out with. We like the A3 with AWD but not its lack of AWD choices. That's come up on other threads here. The A4 Avant is interesting - will check it more closely now that there's no answer for A3 AWD other than S. Fingers x'ed there'll be more choices in '07. Meanwhile, The article I read was on Wards, saying in essence the Boomer markets' being ignored was a big mistake as, right now, they are the ones with the bucks to spend.

Replying to: ccd1 (Mar 27, 2006 11:11 am) Therefore, I'd say demand is fairly low, and supply is actually relatively high. I would say that the reason they are not selling is because Audi has overpriced the A3 significantly. Cars are only worth what people are willing to pay for them. When nice Hondas, Toyotas, and Mazdas are coming in with great products at good prices, you can't overprice them by 10K and expect to sell a lot. In my opinion 30K cars compete with 20K cars, because the 30K car better seem like its 10K better and more valuable. Otherwise its a terrible VALUE, and a lot of people such as myself won't go for a bad value.

Replying to: ccd1 (Mar 27, 2006 3:51 pm) For me, it's closed; AWD-S is out. But if it works for you and the other AWD-S buyers, that's good! When Audi announces what it's doing for '07, I'll take another look. A4 looked nice but Avant doesn't have DGS yet (as far as I can tell). Maybe in '07. As for the Caliber SRT-4, no AWD. What the heck ??? They put their most powerful engine in a FWD-only car? Perhaps a limitation of their AWD system or the engine cannot be easilly adapted? |
