I will picking up my new A4 this afternoon after a 3 month wait. Not to bad, but still long enough. So this is what I ordered, lets see if its what I actually get...<p>99QM 2.8 Volcano Black<br>Sunroof<br>Bose<br>Cold Weather<br>Trip Comp<br>Sports Steering Wheel<p>Told dealer no bumper drill, no buffing of paint.<br>Ordered From McGrath Acura/Audi in Glenview Il. So far, great service, so they get a plug.<p>Thanks to all for keeping my sanity while I waited.<p>

...I went to order an A4 (manual) and unfortunately, all he could offer me was $500 under MSRP (even after telling him I was referred by you). No ifs ands or buts. I thanked him and walked out. Kinda pissed me off. Anyway, The Exchange has a car in Houston right now. If I snag it, I could have it by the end of the week! It's missing the Bose System I wanted, but I figure that's pretty easy to get on my own.

Looks like, once again, mixed reviews of McGrath. I can't comprehend how they can vary so in their treatment of people and acceptance of offers. $500 below MSRP is ridiculous, I hope you told them you were going to The Exchange.<br>Anyway, good luck intercepting the car from Houston!<p>Becker...

I still have 2.7 months to go. I have NO IDEA how I'm gonna be able to wait that long...<p><br>-vik<br>1.8tqms (goes into production next week -- woohoo!)

Good Luck..<p>I picked mine up on monday morning. <p>99 2.8 Quattro Manual<br>Silver/black leather<br>Fully loaded

I was amused and pissed all at once. After translation, the jerk basically told me that he could easily make maximum profit on the car (MSRP). I reminded him that even though my offer wasn't MSRP, he was still making a profit. He kept telling me he just "CAN'T" sell it to me for less than $500 under MSRP. I thanked him and left. Kinda shocked me that a salesman would just let a buyer walk out like that.

Sorry to here that. I guess supply and demand takes over at some point. That is a little disapointing. I guess I put to much faith in them. Once a car salesman, always a car salesman. Maybe he didnt consider you a serious buyer. I can ask him about it. I certainly dont want to send business to a place that wont treat their customers right. Although, I bet he would be pissed, if he found out that I was telling people they would sell cars for 3.5% over invoice.

...I didn't expect him to sell it to me for 3.5% over invoice, however, he didn't even attempt to negotiate. He knew I was serious, and I let him know I was coming out to put a deposit down for the car when we spoke on the phone. I would appreciate it if you didn't mention it to him, as he seemed rather annoyed about your referral. Thanks for helping out, though.<p>Marianthi

He said he only has one allocation of the 1.8 Q Manual and thats the best he could do for you. I still stand by that dealership, I think they are willing to take care of you if they have the cars in stock.
