That alone is enough to make me walk away. No good dealer has charges like that.

It gets better...they also mentioned they would wipe the fee away if I pay sticker which was KBB retail on a car without the accident visible on the car.

So many dealers are shady and just yearn for that dollar. Just blows my mind that if they act ethical and respectable they earn customers repeat business which, equals a lot more profit in the long term. It's pretty pathetic.

@Jerry. I bought my 04/2012 manufactured A8L with 11,000 miles in November 2013 from an independent dealer of high end European cars in the Charlotte, NC metro area. This dealer has access to Audi's dealer auctions. He also buys from public auctions. His cars are reasonably priced and routinely designated "Great or Good Deal" on cargurus.com. I paid 40K below MSRP for my car. I bought the car sight unseen based on the reputation of the dealer and don't regret the decision. I have also recommended this dealer to family and friends since my purchase. With the amount of money you are willing to spend, you deserve a good A8L. Since you are in North Carolina, you may want to check this dealer out. PM me for details if you are interested.
