Hello,

I'm new to Audiworld. Need some advice on purchasing our first Audi.

I can't figure what's the best price I should pay

The dealer is using KKB retail price and I'm seeing a totally different price from Edmunds. (One salesman at Benz dealership uses Edmunds figure)

Looking to purchase a 2013 Q7 TDI CPO with 12k mile $56,991
-Premium pkg
-20" wheels
-summer pkg
-blind spot assist
-tow package

Edmund's CPO is $54,240

KBB CPO used car price shows $60050 to $64000

How much should I offer the dealership???

iconoclast

offer what you feel it's worth and slightly lower than the market average. the two should be in line with each other.

You should always use Edmunds as the baseline and negotiate it from there. KBB, for some reason, always shows inflated book values

As Iconoclast said- go in at the low end. Private party retail value is probably a fair deal if you can get close to that on a CPO car. CPO is typically worth a couple grand at least vs. non-CPO, but see if you can do better.

Also don't forget that dealers conveniently use Edmund's/KBB/NADA when it suits them on the selling end and ignore it when you bring in a trade. Look up what Edmunds/KBB says for trade in of the exact Q7 you are considering and depending on region, local trade vs. lease/auction return, you can bet the dealer "owns" the car at another ~5-15% less than that because they typically pay closer to wholesale/auction pricing- which isn't available to the public, unless you have something like a Manheim or Galves account.

On the flip side, if they are a good dealer, have been decent to you, and it's optioned the way you want it, it's probably OK to leave a little money on the table to make a deal work (no way of knowing exactly), particularly if you are going to be going back for service and repairs.

Thank you for all the replies.

We bought the white q7 premium plus. Next day drove it to vegas.

Love the tdi power.

Now need to buy accessories: tint windows, running boards, all weather floor mats

Can't wait til winter to drive it in the snow
