I'm having a hard time believing I need to pay $500 below MSRP for an A3 manual w/ sunroof as only option. I expected to get a bigger discount off MSRP.

What's been your experience in the Seattle area?

thanks

There's barely $1,600 from invoice to M.S.R.P.

This is not an A4....

I have 2 buddies out here (Seattle) that bought them with no discount at all. And on top of that, they are previous Audi owners. So, $500 off MSRP looks pretty sweet. That's what I got mine for. From what I hear, they don't make much off these things anyways. Besides, it's a great warranty.

FYI, I got mine at Barrier.

Have you checked Costco auto program? Costco auto program price for A3 is invoice + $750 here in CA.

I'd shop around a bit more. Plenty have negotiated $500 to $1k over invoice.

$1k over invoice is roughly $500 M.S.R.P....

car . . . oh well . . . one of those things i'll never understand.

Pablo:
Assuming you want a standard (no charge) color option, MSRP is: $26,560 and invoice is $24,719. Both these figures have destination charge factored in.

Assuming you want one of the $450 special option colors:

MSRP $27,010
Invoice $25,129

Usually cars with less equipment aren't discounted as much as loaded cars. There is often something on a loaded car that somebody doesn't want, which causes the dealer to cut a bit more slack. A basic car can often be used to TV, radio, or newspaper ads - since it produces the most attractive lease/purchase numbers to grab the attention of buyers.

Very popular car in Seattle, FYI. Try Robert Jobs in B-ham.
