I've been lurking for a few weeks and doing a lot of research on pricing and need some advice about fees. Scottsdale Audi and I are still $1500 apart on price, but there are those pesky fees:
Tags: $539 <- Az is high
Doc fee: $200
National Advertising fee: $200
PDI (pre-delivery inspection): $539

Is everyone paying these fees? Any advice is appreciated!

BTW - I'm looking at ordering a 3.0/quattro/6M/Dolphin grey with platinum leather and some other goodies...they don't have one on the lot. I offered $1k over invoice...unreasonable?

thanks from a newbie!

runs about $200 here

I dunno about AZ but there isn't a PDI fee at my dealership in NY

I'm sure there is one but they probably put it toward the vehicles cost, like we do.

Levish

base pricing should be similar

Got my 3.0 QTS fully loaded w/o heated seats plus nav for $600 above invoice. They had the car on the lot so maybe that's the difference. I dealt with Steve Baca and became friendly with the sales manager Dave Zoloto after the deal. Email me if you need some help ;-)

although somewhere it is taken into account

PDI out of line. Doc fee might be too.

ah, sorry

Chris,

There is Invoice + Profit + DMV + Doc fees. Period.

DMV: $539
Doc fee: $200 < should be $20-$30
National Advertising fee: $200 < Never heard of it
PDI (pre-delivery inspection): $539 < Doh!

DMV + $969 + $1000 Profit = $1969 above invoice, the going rate for a 3.0 the way you want it.

I would've just asked for it.
