How do you like the deep sea blue? What color interior? Was that your first choice? I've never seen one that color, though I think I might like it better than my other choice, lava grey.

I realized a little bit after I posted that while some of my posting belong in this forum, some of it should probably have gone in the general A3 forum. I just did not take the time to separate it out. So I will post a response to your question here, and then put any non price-related follow-up there.
 
I do indeed like the deep sea blue. The other two I looked at where Ocean Blue (wound up not wanting something that light) and Lava Grey (like this color a lot; would have gone with it had Deep Sea not been available; it was hard to tell it was not black except in daylight, of course). My interior color is the grey. I think I like the combination quite a bit (I did not want a black interior anyway--the heat--and there was a lot of that with the Lava Grey exterior). You should go check this color out; my friend has an older VW Golf that is Indigo Blue, I think she said. I would say it is similar, but not quite. And it does not have this sparkly pearl effect. Since they did not have an A3 in it where I lived (had to transport my car), I looked at an A4 with it. The A4 came with beige interior--was not bad, but I think I like the grey better in this car. I liked the beige better in the Ocean Blue.
 
This color looks cool in light and dark. In light, though, it can show dirt. It rained here recently, and I felt an almost overpowering urge to wash it. Not nearly as bad as having a black car, but I lived with a tan car for a long while--and it never showed dust/dirt.

Regarding maintenance, you may want to consider getting Audi Care.
It is not free any more but at $590 MSRP, it is a good deal.
It covers the 15000, 25000, 35000 and 45000 services.
The 35000 service alone will probably cost you more than that.
You might be able to negotiate the price or make them throw it in for free when you bought the car, but even paying full price is not bad.

I received an offer from a dealer at Livermore Audi:
 
2007 A3 2.0T Automatic
Ocean Blue Exterior
Grey Leather Interior
S-Line Package
Illumination Package
Technology Package
Cold Package
Sky Roof Package
 
MSRP ~$34k and as of 11/3/07, he is offering $30k just for me test driving it.
 
I want to go to an extreme and start with $26k.
 
With this time of the year, does it look insane?
 
Anyone out there recently bought one and prices paid?

I just purchased one yesterday, '07 A3 2.0T DSG Red from Audi of Concord, in the Bay Area.
 
Options:
S-Line pkg
Tech pkg
Audio pkg
Sky Roof pkg
Cold pkg
 
MSRP was $35,000. Dealer accepted my offer of $28,000 and even threw in the Audi Care plan because it is getting close to the end of the year. I guess they really wanted to get rid of their '07 cars and make room for the '08s.

I don't see why it is insane to lowball it. It's the end of the year and it's to their advantage to see as may cars as they can to make their quota. Selling 20 cars looks better than selling 19, 100 is better than 99, etc...

2008 A3 2.0T S-Line Price by jccai1

I'm in the Dallas area. There seems to be few A3 2.0T equipped with S-Line, especially one without Open Sky. The big sunroof is not very practical in hot Texas summers. I found one stickered at $33,420. Edmunds invoice shows $31,136. What would be a fair price for this car? What kind of deals are people getting on the 08 models? Thanks much!

Pricing an A3 by lomli

Hey guys I'm so glad I found this forum. I tried out an A3 last week and am in love. I've always leased cars before, but the lease deals quoted me at a couple of dealerships are really terrible- mostly because of a very poor residual value. So I might be purchasing a car for the first time, but I have no clue as to how to bargin for a car. I was wondering if someone could give me some advice on pricing.
I've been offered:
A3 2.0L S-line 2008
Brilliant red with upgraded tan leather seats
Convenience Package
AudiNav with 6 cd changer
Bluetooth
Xenon headlights
60 month purchase at 4.9%
MSRP $35,320
Sale Price $34,340
 
I noticed that the Edmunds TMV is $34,164. So I was thinking of offering $34000 and asking for free audicare. Should I be more greedy with this?
 
Thanks in advance!
