I have a 2004 Audi A4 1.8t cabriolet (52,500 miles, sport, premium packages) that I am considering to trade in on a Lexus IS 250. The dealership offored Invoice + $500 ($32,791 - IS250, 18" wheels, premium, Nav). Offered $20,500 for my car. I am sure I can get $21,000 for it if it is a take it or leave it opinion. Does this seem good? I have to decide if want to have a convertible out of warranty or a sedan with all the toys. Thanks. Jeff |

Replying to: jzalkin (Jul 27, 2006 5:19 pm) I figured that the first time I had a repair on the Audi I would have wished I got rid of it. It is not like it was paid off. I will miss the convertible, but will enjoy the new electronic toys. As an aside, my first round of discusions was the worst experience I have ever had. The saleman was nice, but a slick sales manager came over and played games. He tried to get me to lease 3 times (stated I wanted to finance over and over). He tried to convince me the money factor was the same as an interest rate. He then started to play price games - offered me $24k for my car, but MSRP for his. Finally, he came up with a payment where he knew I would want to be at (told him I had to be under what I was in now). He said we had a deal since he had "hit a desired payment". He balked when I asked for the term details (trade, rate, length, sale price), saying that I had "honor my end of the bargain." I got pissed and walked out. As I was leaving he said his buyer was reducing the price of my trade $300 from $20,500. The next day (Wed) I got a call from my salesman and the guy's boss apoligizing about him without me mentioning why I left. I told them I would contact them when I know what I wanted to do. I called today and got the extra $500 on my trade plus the tint. I know the tint doesn't cst them much, but it saves me the $100+ and time. When I stopped by to sign some stuff, they kissed my rear pretty hard. I wasn't going to let one  #$hole rune a decent deal. That is my story. Thanks for you responses and I am glad to be new IS250 Black/Cashmire owner. |
