Are Audi buyers/owners uniquely cheap, tight-asses? - Finman 2001-08-10 10:22:06 (621 views)

As they say, "It takes two to tango." - StealthMobile 2001-08-11 11:27:01 (148 views)

Guy bought an S4 at another dealer. Claimed he got a significant discount. - April/verdegrrl 2001-08-11 15:07:43 (245 views)

If every car is sold at a loss, and more are sold .. then that simply means the dealer loses more... - 2.7Tango 2001-08-11 13:08:22 (119 views)

If you get that screaming money loser deal, your Mother, Brother, Neighbour must make up for your - April/verdegrrl 2001-08-11 15:21:12 (241 views)

True - Finman 2001-08-11 11:45:33 (116 views)

Audi enthusiasts are a strange lot ... - 2.7Tango 2001-08-11 09:29:35 (116 views)

This is more typical of all buyers then you may realize. - dzier 2001-08-10 20:58:48 (145 views)

Personally, I don't feel like a uniquely cheap, tight-ass....not spending 40K on a car anyway! - A6 Top Cat 2001-08-10 18:20:37 (119 views)

A "Big Spender" can drop $500 on dinner, but still be a tight-ass if he leaves a $10 tip... - Finman 2001-08-11 11:54:17 (89 views)

I agree...but it's easy to get caught up in it with the info available on the web - Metz 2001-08-10 17:25:50 (107 views)

Re: Audi makes over 10k profit per car! - srleo 2001-08-10 16:44:53 (153 views)

Where do these figures come from??? Even Ford "only" makes $6-8k on its SUVs... - Finman 2001-08-11 00:30:08 (142 views)

Audi might, but dealers don't ! Open a dealership and then try negotiating with AoA or VAG - April/verdegrrl 2001-08-10 17:00:22 (167 views)

Please explain. Don't think dealer makes 10K on sale. Sale plus maintenance? AoA? How? - timcar 2001-08-10 16:54:55 (122 views)

Not the dealer, but AOA - srleo 2001-08-10 16:59:47 (77 views)

I agree with you Finman. Crossed the street from the BMW to the Audi, met Ernst @ Audi Diablo - Ernesto (ERT) 2001-08-10 15:55:16 (276 views)

Yup, that's what I mean, not everyone can have an Ernst, but honest and fair... - Finman 2001-08-11 00:23:56 (97 views)

I'll tell you,..... for $50.00 - Gary_L 2001-08-10 13:55:52 (100 views)

I'll tell you for your cost plus 5%, throw in the floor mats - phred 2001-08-10 14:01:01 (83 views)

Sure you don't want paint protectant and scotchgaurd ? It's only another $25 a month ! ;-) - April/verdegrrl 2001-08-10 14:05:44 (120 views)

Yes, Scotchguard please! There's no way I could possibly do that myself :) - phred 2001-08-10 14:25:02 (97 views)

I've got this peice of real estate. It's just a bridge...but it might tickle your fancy. Interested? - April/verdegrrl 2001-08-10 16:07:30 (75 views)

Re: No, we're not ALL like that, but... - WildBlueYonder 2001-08-10 13:51:17 (228 views)

A cautionary tale of being too smart. - April/verdegrrl 2001-08-10 13:49:15 (207 views)

But if they hadn't cross-shopped, they would have been too dumb - phred 2001-08-10 14:01:54 (145 views)

They seemed too intelligent to burn all those bridges. - April/verdegrrl 2001-08-10 14:07:12 (230 views)

The mbh unified car purchasing theory ;-) - mbh 2001-08-10 14:32:45 (130 views)

Yeah, the internet helps. Rarely do people walk in wanting a 10% discount on a car with 6% mark-up. - April/verdegrrl 2001-08-10 16:05:48 (120 views)

Guilty..... with an explanation(and proud of it). - Rick Pardo 2001-08-10 13:09:28 (214 views)

What's a Jewish CFO??? - Finman 2001-08-10 13:21:47 (174 views)

So, you pay them back in another way. That's fine. - April/verdegrrl 2001-08-10 13:11:48 (67 views)

I give bottles of wine???!!! Does that count any!! LOL. - Ming 2.7T 2001-08-10 13:21:08 (107 views)

Heck, when my car goes into service there's a "brown bag" big enough for a sixer - Ernesto (ERT) 2001-08-10 16:08:05 (159 views)

I think the people (like me) who go after a lower and lower price... - Muhammad 2001-08-10 13:05:50 (146 views)

I resemble that remark!!!!!! - Ming 2.7T 2001-08-10 12:31:58 (70 views)

I concur....lol... - drkangelA6 2001-08-10 12:34:32 (116 views)

Was thinking about it, but Dont know what I'll do there?? - Ming 2.7T 2001-08-10 13:02:30 (204 views)

No, I do live in the SF Bay area and bought on the peninsula during the peak... - Finman 2001-08-10 13:04:04 (108 views)

Unique? No. Tight ass? Yes. - huachele 2001-08-10 11:54:42 (168 views)

Nothing, if that's what you want to be...not a judgement, just a description... - Finman 2001-08-10 13:07:38 (152 views)

The dealer term is a "mooch." - April/verdegrrl 2001-08-10 13:13:26 (69 views)

A couple hundred, no. A couple thousand, yes. - timcar 2001-08-10 11:36:47 (155 views)

They are cheap, but not as cheap as some. Take Volvo. - April/verdegrrl 2001-08-10 11:32:44 (237 views)

Not cheap, just appreciate value (More) - Definitely an A6 4.2! 2001-08-10 23:04:19 (122 views)

I think the real point is, give back what you get - phred 2001-08-10 13:58:46 (106 views)

Exactly. - April/verdegrrl 2001-08-10 16:08:52 (67 views)

A new paradigm: The best deal is always win/win. Biggest lie ever told: It's not personal, (more) - timcar 2001-08-10 12:22:58 (145 views)

28 cars per month? - Steve S. 2001-08-10 12:00:21 (159 views)

Yes. The following month, have a nervous break-down ! ( not quite ) - April/verdegrrl 2001-08-10 12:28:07 (206 views)

The problem in this segment is the Audi name vs MB vs BMW vs Lexus - RSC 2001-08-10 11:20:25 (156 views)

I got 12% off retail on 2 A6 2.7T Avants - Chris Brown 2001-08-10 10:54:03 (216 views)

I don't think that behavior is unique to Audi buyers... - mbh 2001-08-10 10:41:20 (248 views)

not = note - Tabor Kelly 2001-08-10 10:38:06 (74 views)

Nope, I think in today's world every buyer is like this - phred 2001-08-10 10:31:30 (208 views)

Yeah, I agree, it's just the dicking around for a couple hundred bucks seems lame - Finman 2001-08-10 13:10:53 (93 views)

Good points, cheers to all of that! - LMGotts 4.2 2001-08-10 10:31:12 (75 views)

Re: Are Audi buyers/owners uniquely cheap, tight-asses? - Jack Orr 2001-08-10 10:30:13 (231 views)

No, everyone is like that.... But as a whole I think Audi buyers want more bang for the buck... - Kenny 2001-08-10 10:29:49 (176 views)

Gotta be careful you don't become Hettie Green:-) - April/verdegrrl 2001-08-11 09:04:39 (68 views)
