Enough with Acura TL. It's time to go for Audi A4.
I am searching for a A4 1.8T CVT. Can you please recommend good dealer and reasonable price?
Maybe which sales person to deal with.

Mike Patterson was my salesperson but contacted them first through Linda Harrison via the Internet. Not sure where you are in SoCal, but I had a very good buying experience there.

As far as dealer goes...not sure about that. I got my S4 from Pasadena Rusnak. Would I recommend them....eehhh...I haven't tried the other dealers so I can't say. But yeah, go QUATTRO, that is my recommendation.

I almost bought my s4 at advantage from Mario for an incredible price. They are very eager because they are small and out of the way. Ended up going to Rusnak and regreting it.

Just finished signing the paperwork with Rusnak in Pasadena. I started shopping for the car on teh internet so I can't comment on their sales floor staff. Their internet sales staff is excellent though. Denise Justice is the head of the internet people, even Edmunds.com bought their car from her. Other dealerships didn't even come close on price or color and equipment combination.
What year TL do you have and what is making you switch?

I have a 2000 3.2TL WDP. It has 37,000 miles.
The reasons for switching are following.
1. MY wife hates the way TL looks. I bought TL right before I met her.
2. Ultimate Rattle Machine. Sunroof, Dash, Windows, seat belts, and etc...
3. Driver seat bottom skin got ripped.
4. Transmission acting funky.
5. Poor paint quality
Can you tell me more about the deal your are getting? Price, Options, Rate...

I totally agree with the rattles and the transmission. Mine was a 2000 as well. Anyways, I am leasing my A4 for $470 a month including tax w/ $2500 down. The payment would have been $20 less a month, but I had to role in the last three payments of my lease on the TL as I am over on my mileage. I was quoted $487 a month with zero drive off if that helps you figure a lease. I was also told that the best cash price is $1200 over invoice and that the current finance rate through the end of the month is 5.9% for 60 months. I hope that helps you.
Oh, my A4 is Denim Blue, 1.8T CVT, sunroof, xenons, sports package.

Give Rainer Stiller a call at Circle Audi in Long Beach. If you're a AAA member, and you should be, ask about the member buying service. I've bought 2 A6's from him, and sent 3 or 4 friends to him, and they've had nothing but good luck (so far ;-) ).
