My advice: shop around. It may be cynical to say it, but dealers in more depressed areas may be more willing to deal -- especially if they've been sitting on the car for a while.

I live in Upstate, NY. The absolute best I could get out of our local dealer was $2000 over invoice, and that was on a version of the car we didn't even want (Premium). I found a Prestige in Ithaca (which is an area of the state that has been hit harder by the bum economy) and they were more than happy to take *invoice* for it. It was a launch car that had been sitting on their lot for months.

In addition, I got another $2000 Audi loyalty discount off the negotiated price since we traded in an '03 A4, so be sure to ask about that if you're trading in an Audi.

Hope this helps.

--Jim.

Thanks for all the responses.

One more question, is the "Full LED headlight" option worth getting at all? Most of the pre-config'd cars did not have this option even the fully loaded 79,655 MSRP ones.

The car you are looking at has the LED lights as part of the Innovation Package. But I would have likely gotten them as an option if I didn't get the Innovation pkg. Good luck!

YES don't even second guess it. The LED lights really complete the futuristic look of this car. And at this price, whats another $1400
