Default One vote for the New McGrath...

I say new because with a new sales manager (Blownaway) you likely have a fresh attitude. Anyway, I had previously shopped a 2005.5 S4 Cab there just for them to match another price I had been quoted, and wasn't even given the time of day.
That all changed when Tim read my post, a couple of calls back and forth and he's set me up nicely (including arranging the install of a Escort SR7).
I know everyone here prefers the Exchange, but go check out McGrath, it seems to have a new attitude (and it's a helluva lot closer to the city). I think Tim has some mods on his car if I read his post correctly, so hopefully the shop will be 'mod-friendly' now that he's there too.

Default McGrath Has changed ALOT.....

When I first went to McGrath Audi I had one of the new TT's on order, went and sat in it and did not like the lack of visibility. I told the sales guy I wanted a Black A4 instead and he tells me there are none in the state. Well of course there were about 14 at local dealers.

However.. I went in last week and delt with Tim (the new audi brand manager) and helped my friend get a new 05 A4 1.8T and another friend get a 01' A6 2.7T with the special rate. They really were alot different then they used to be.

I would highly recomend anyone looking for an Audi to try McGrath.

Default I have never liked the exchange.....

then again i worked at McGrath so i may be bias

That is awesome to hear btw. They sure had a rough bit of time over there with the transition to the new building and everything but it sounds like they have some steady new leadership.

Hey Blownaway (tim?) when do you expect to see the new Rs4?

Never had any dealings with either, I live in the Naperville area and have had the best dealings of any manufacturer here at Continental Audi. The best salespeaople and techs by far.

I just hope they don't employ the same finance managers as McGrath Honda
