Default Special Order Paint - $2500?

Hi,

I've searched the archives and seen that special order paint (available on other Audi models but not on A3) goes for $2500. I'm looking at Sprint Blue (I know I'm not the first, but I love it and it's close to the Jazz Blue I've had on my GTI 20th Anniversary for years).

My question is: is the $2500 what the dealer pays, and should I expect the dealer to mark up the charge to me?

$2500 is what's on the sticker--what you pay for the car is negotiable...

Default Dealer invoice is also $2500. Same for special order interiors - $900. AoA does not give the dealer

any markup on these items. What you see is what they pay.

Default $900 gets you a non-standard exterior/interior color combo....

Such as beige interior with Brilliant Red exterior. Or black interior with Ocean Blue exterior.

Default It buys you the right to tinker with a the standard interior schemes...

if it is a "downgrade" like going to cloth seat covers it doesn't cost any more that the $900. However, if you want the Audi Exclusive stuff then it just buys you the right to sit down and pick and choose interior fitments that will usually cost you a whole lot more than $900. Like 3,500 euro for Audi Exclusive leather and 800 euro for Audi Exclusive wood. I read on the TT board that they price the car at the port using the current currency conversion rate at the time. It sounds like quite an adventure!!
