Default Pacific in Torrance?

I was able to get the car without Lojack, without the paint protection and without their markup on the tint (I dealt directly with the tint guy). I also got a better deal on the lease factor, but I did have to pay sticker. When there was a mixup on the car (it had the cold weather package instead of the Parktronic that I wanted) they made it up to me with a deal I couldn't refuse on the v60 phone.

Trent was my salesman and I've been pretty happy with him. I have no problems recommending him to anyone else.

Default I went for light on the side windows and medium on the back window

I didn't want to attract too much (police) attention on the sides because I was tinting the driver's window.

Default I talked to the guy that did your tinting... (Eclipse Glass)

He basically said that my tint person is inexperienced and doesn't have the proper tools. Doh! I'm off to the yellow pages.

Default Yes, that's about the same deal they would have done for me...on the A8...

If you order or get a car right off the dock (like new A8s) they won't do the Lojack/paint thing to it. But they claim they add it to every other car they have. On my deal, they essentially threw it in too. I paid about $650 over invoice (pre-Lojack,etc.) and they threw in the tint. No extra charge for the lojack/paint. If they hadn't done that I would have bought a similar 4.2 at BH Audi without extras. Ilker was my guy...very good. Good service dept. too, overall.

What color combo is your A8?
