Deposit Info
Hi, I wanted to get some feedback on what you guys are doing regarding deposits. My dealer is requesting a non-refundable 10% deposit to place the order for the RS4. Is this in line with what you all are doing? thanks.

that's insane. so they want $7k non refundable? unacceptable. where is this dealer?
It's an Audi not a Ferrari. My dealer took $1k fully refundable deposits for RS4's and if you were a previous customer, they just take your word and no deposit required.

P.S. Please name the dealer so we can all stay away from it.....now that I think about it
I am going to buy www.audidealers.com and start a database. Rate your dealers on it. I know the guy who runs rateyourdealer.com, but this will be only for audi dealers.

Re: Deposit Info
I thought that was just a bit insane, but wanted to get everyone's opinion on here. The dealership it Audi of Alexandria, VA. It's too bad, because this will be my 3rd Audi, and the dealership has always been great. Oh well, that's why there's competition.

Re: Let us know where you are and maybe one of us can point you to a better dealer
I'm in VA, so I have two more dealerships to choose from; Rockville, MD and Tysons Corner HBL.

ridiculous jerking around. go elsewhere. other dealers can pull allocation if they have to.
even if you have to pay for a one-way ticket to somewhere nearby and drive it home, good way to break it in on the drive home :-D
