Hey Minow,
 
I paid $500 over invoice. It came to about $41,200 with destination charge, ad fee, document charge and port prep. Taxes and registration fees were about $3600, but where I live sales tax is 8.75%. I was actually offered the car at invoice at another dealership, but would have had to wait longer for the car. Another guy paid $500 below invoice at the same dealership.
 
It took about 2 months to get my car. It would have been longer but my dealer was able to have the car re-routed from another dealership. I did have to put $1000 down to order the car, although the dealership I didn't go to I talked down to $500. got black interior, I think the beige looks granny-like.
 
Honestly the best thing about the Nav is that all the controls are moved to the center console. I was a little disappointed that I couldn't search by business name like my Garmin (or maybe I can and I haven't figured it out).

I also recommend to everyone to get the extended warranty. The guy initially offered the Platinum (bumper to bumper) for 6 years, 100,000 miles, $100 deductible for ~$5000. I got him to change it to $3655, 7 years, 100,000 miles, $0 deductible. I was able to do this cause my credit union (Pentagon Federal Credit Union, 4.75%, 72 months) offered the same package for $2965. The reason I went with Audi was because it covered more (stereo, gps, non-covered parts causing covered parts to go out, etc). If you get the warranty, go with the best, NOT the gold or silver.
I've heard stories of people having problems after 30k miles and so I wanted to alleviate that worry! I also looked into a comparable warranty after the manufacturer's warranty expired (I.e. 7 year warranty in 2008 vs. 3 year warranty in 2012) and it is MUCH cheaper to buy it now (about half the price). The take into account that you have the 4 year dealer warranty.

Navigation Feedback by monstergerm

Can owners please comment on how they like the navigation system. I could not find any manual online. How does it compare to other cars?
Can you search street names by voice?
Can you search businesses by name?
Can you search businesses by phone number (voice)?
Once it finds a business does it show the phone number and allows you to automatically dial this number through bluetooth connected phone?

Just picked up my new 09 Audi A4 2.0T Premuim+ Ice Silver
35.5K + TTL
 
Alas I realized when I connect my iPhone v2.1 to the A4 using bluetooth I can't access the phone book just the dial history!

I got same problem! My wife's motorola though uploads the phonebook just fine. Therefore i suspect it is something to do with my iphone being jailbroken. How about you? Is it jailbroken or not?
 
Also, i wonder if the ipod cable is supposed to come with the price of the car or is it sold as separate accessory? I heard that at least one dealer (not my though) gives them away with the car. Not sure how true that information is.
My dealer said they sell them for 50 bucks a piece, but did not have them in stock...

hi...
 
for those of you who have the 09 a4, can you tell me if this car has the feature where if you put the car in reverse, the passenger side mirror tilts downward so you can see the curb?
 
i really like this feature and have required it in my next car...
 
thanks.

yes, there is, at least on my A4 Premium Plus.
just be sure to leave the mirror adjustment knob in the right-most position for this to work. quite convenient feature indeed.

well, that settles it... i'm definitely getting the a4 then...
 
i'm going to be getting the car in may, how much of a deal do you think i can get?
 
i've been considering the following cars also...
- lexus es, rx
- acura tl, tsx
- mazda 6
- vw passat
- honda pilot
 
i've got a couple of kids, so i really need the space, but am trying not to get an suv (even tho i'm considering the new pilot)
 
btw, do you recommend the extra cost of the prestige package over premium plus?
 
thanks.
