My guess is you're pretty close to $1500 back of invoice (which is what I paid for mine 1 month ago). If it's anything more than that, i'd push for more.

Default I'm assuming this is an 07 sittin on the lot?

Tech package no longer on 08's.
Was liquid blue a custom color in 07? Normally metallics are $450.
If it's an 07 sittin on their lot you should have $1500 off msrp instantly since that's the incentive Audi is giving dealers. But you should be able to EASILY get it for $200 over invoice. Plus ttl.

Default Bought my A3 at Stevens Creek a month ago...

and leased an A4 there 2 years ago. Buying the A3 was definitely the better experience, thanks to Ramon Maciel, who sold me the A3.

Price doesn't look too bad, as others have said.

Default $1500 off

$1500 or 4.9% financing incentive off the deal. Most people shuold get invoice or very close to.

Default Am I missing something?

I did the exact same config in Edmunds.com with the configuration you just wrote and I get a different price. I'm considering to switch from the S4 to an A3 for daily commuter, that's why my interest in your numbers.

So I assumed it's a 2006 (nice color by the way), it's a manual with all this options. Your total 36595, Edmunds total: 35115.

Now, I think that the difference is the base price, you say 26820, Edmund's 25340.

In any case... all this is MSRP.. invoice in the config I see is 32370... TMV report (for my area) 33583. Add the crappy dealer fees and tax and you get your number... and it looks like a very fair deal.

Default Don't pass it up if you like Liquid Blue - it's very unlikely you'll find another like it, and it's

been deleted for '08 - only available if you're willing to pay $2500.
