And they didnt have any on the lot!!!

I was very disappointed to say the least. I'm currently driving a 2004 Volvo S40 and I think the A3 might be my next car (in 3 years after the Volvo is paid off). I've narrowed it down to an A3 or a BMW 330i (2004 or 2005)

I like the BMW for alot of reasons, but I'm a huge fan of hatchbacks. I'm hoping that a test drive in the A3 will be the decision maker.

I am supposed to be getting a call from the dealer when he gets more in so we will see =)

Peace

the transition period between '07 and '08 models, so inventory is low.

Must be a regional thing. Out here in CA, dealer is flooded with them.

Jeff A3 3.2

Is it true the price is going up 3K across the board for A3's?

And you think this why?

This is the sheet I created to figure out what it will cost me in Tucson, AZ, with hypotheticals for trade-in and down payment, interest rate, etc.

Unless I have screwed something up (quite possible), there is even less margin on the '08's....you should check one of the KBB, Edmunds, NADA sites as well.

If you want the Nav system, Audi bundles the Sound package into the base rate automatically, while site like edmunds offer them a la carte, which is not how they can be ordered. That is causing a lot of confusion.
