Interesting your already in the market for a new Audi A3! I can see why, as I and others, including CR ranked it as one of the most very satisfying owner experiences with any vehicle. One thing... if you don't like to put your hands where they are "supposed" to be on the steering wheel (where the paddles work just great in their current placement), then just use the ...

Hi jdmjd. Unless your son is notoriously tough on his vehicles, he probably would be better off passing on the excess wear and tear coverage. Audi's WearCare plan is a different story though.

Hello cmel. A selling price of below dealer invoice is an excellent deal on a leased 2008 Audi A3 right now. I don't think that you are going to be able to do much better than this. Just make sure that the dealer you are working with uses Audi Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor of .00286 to calculate your monthly payment and you're all set. Audi ...

Audi A3 Prices Paid and Buying Experiences

Pretty happy with mine

Written by: esingollo on Nov 08, 2007 03:53 PM

I bought a 2008 A3 a little more than a week ago. I thought I would detail some of my buying experiences, since it may help some people (several of these postings helped me). Hmm: where to start. I live in San Francisco, CA, and parking is an issue. These fit in quite a few places, and I have begun to see a lot of them around. It also seems to have enough power to enjoy driving ...

Audi Care Charge

Written by: theresa11 on Oct 22, 2007 08:35 AM

Looking at a new 2007 A3. MSRP is $32730 which includes $590 for Audi Care and $995 for Protection Package. The offer is $27900. I know that Audi dropped the free maintenance program and this dealer told me that all Audi dealers will accept this. The protection package I feel is bogus. How do I know what the dealer's invoice was for these two items and can I try to get ... Read More...
