Re: 36,000 bucks for A4
Sounds like the sticker price to me.<br>If it is a 98, you should get close to invoice.<br>If it is a 99, something in the ballpark of 5% above sticker is ok, the lower the better.<br>See www.edmunds.com and carpoint.msn.com for invoice and sticker prices.<br>

$36,000 is too high...$33,900 or less.
I'm awaiting delivery of my '99 A4 2.8 with all options except phone and tiptronic. It took me 2 dealerships but I got them down to $33,900 including destination. I'd bet if you look around you'll find an even better deal. KR

5% above INVOICE (not sticker)
<i>If it is a 99, something in the ballpark of 5% above sticker is ok, the lower the better.</i><p>Sorry, major typo there, I meant to say 5% above invoice.<br>Also, <b>never</b> negotiate from sticker down, always negotiate from invoice up.

Re: 36,000 bucks for A4
I would have to agree with the rest of the comments voiced in this forum. $36,000 is a bit steep. I recently landed a 99' A4 2.8 Silver with putty cowette interior for $31,000 from a decent dealer in the S.F. Bay area. The entire sales process took around two hours. I spent the second of those two hours trying to get another 1k off the price but I was late for a friends wedding and went with what I thought was a decent price. My 99' has the all-weather package, CD-Changer and sunroof. While I could have gone for the real leather and better sport suspension, these are items I can easily address later on.. Good luck.

I, too am awaiting (January) my A4 2.8 with all options except sport package and sport seats. Agreed upon price: $2300 over invoice. (Invoice for my package is 32086, so for the math-challenged, final cost is 34386.00. That's 7% above dealer invoice. I did find cheaper deals up and down the West coast (I made a LOT of calls--the best deal was 1700 over invoice, or 5%, and included a 300 mile drive to pick it up), but found my local dealer fell in right around average, better than many, and I liked his service dept. and proximity to my abode. So, for $600 more than the 'best price I could find', it's a good deal.
