Replying to: blugekko (Jun 24, 2008 10:29 pm) Ah, that might explain another piece that came out at closing. It turns out that there was some sort of giveback in the price that hadn't been mentioned and the issue was that the 2.9% financing that we had been offered wasn't technically eligible to be combined with it. Our salesman apologized for the error, then made good with a $858 refund on the spot. This is the difference in the payments between 2.9% and 3.9% times 60 months...makes me now wish we had taken 72 months instead  Since we didn't need the financing (the 2.9% rate was too good to pass up - it let us leave our money invested, earning a higher rate), the numbers work out less favorably at 3.9%, so we'll probably look at paying off the loan within a year or so. Insofar as design details of the timing belt -vs- timing chain, it doesn't really concern me that much. Afterall, if its like the A4 that this A3 replaces, we'll only need to replace it once while we own the car, at roughly 75,000 miles. Plus having the "last of a design" means that most of the bugs have been worked out, as opposed to having to be the Beta tester of any "first year" teething pains. While VW-Audi isn't as notoriously problematic about this sort of deal as GM historically was, they've not been immune to it either, as modern automobiles these days are pretty complex products. -hh |

Replying to: zepp (Jun 23, 2008 3:10 am) I've been looking to replace my 01 325i...looked at TL, G35, Accord Coupe, etc, and stoppped in the Audi dealership on a whim. Loved driving the A3. They showed me... - 08 A3 black/black - 8,800 miles (service loaner) - S-Line (and maybe IPOD?) - ext. warranty - priced at 28,900 Sounds like I ought to be able to get one more fully equipped, new, for a lot less, eh?

Replying to: audifans (Jul 21, 2008 10:23 pm) I just got 2 separate emails from 2 area dealerships advertising their 08 A3s inventory for $3500-4500 off MSRP (and that's before any negotiating). Was offered a manual 2.0 w/Xenon, Sport Pkg, Open Sky, Cold Weather Pkg, Convenience Pkg, Bluetooth for $31.5 OTD with Audi care (taxes are 6% where I live, tags about $250). This is a great time to negotiate prices down on a used A3 or just buy a new one, especially with the refreshed 09s due shortly.

Seriously consider a CPO. Was told the break in period will determine how the car will last. Most CPO are lease return. Does any one having problem with lease CPO.

Replying to: audifans (Jul 24, 2008 9:37 pm) You can also mention that you know that Audi has been accepting 2009 orders on their computer system for a couple of months now, so he can go in "right now" and put in your order, as soon as the two of you agree on a price. BTW, here's the change point list for the 2009 A3 from marketwatch.com: MSRP A3 2.0T Front Manual $26,920 A3 2.0T quattro S tronic $30,500 A3 2.0T Front S tronic $28,400 A3 3.2 quattro S tronic $36,975 -- Exterior and Interior freshening including new wheels. -- 2.0T S tronic now available with quattro all-wheel drive. -- New simplified offer structure concept. Standard Equipment Changes -- Hill-hold assist - now standard on 2.0T manual (already standard on S tronic models) -- Sirius satellite radio - now standard on all -- Leather seating surfaces - now standard on all -- Flexmetallic interior trim - replaces Matte interior trim on 2.0 -- Leather steering wheel - now standard -- Aux audio input - standard on all -- Ashtray / Smoker pkg - deleted on all (replaced with storage tray) -- 3.2 only: Standard Bluetooth, Bi-xenon headlamps with LED DRL, and Open Sky -- 3.2 only: No longer standard Symphony, Sport Suspension, Sport Seats Option Program Changes -- New offer structure concept -- Discontinued: iPod adapter (replaced by standard Aux-input), Wood trim, Sunshades for rear side windows, Premium Vienna leather -- New options: Audi magnetic ride, Sport package FWIW, I was out in LA around two weeks ago, and based on the highways that I drove on, I'd not want 18" wheels or the S-Line package - - the standard 17's and suspension are IMO firm enough for highway runs; be sure to test-drive to make sure that there's not too much NVH. -hh |
