Default Frustrating S4 Search in Midwest

I'm now "locked on" to getting an S4, but getting past "no discount" with a local dealer was frustrating today. Claimed he had one 2002 S4 tip/black/onyx/premium/cold available in about 4 weeks and an Avant (same spec) in about 6 weeks. No 2001's left. Any suggestions? I'm in Chicago.

Default They still have some 2001s left in Wisconsin.

I don't know if you're willing to drive to Wisconsin to pick up the car. You could try to set up a dealer trade. I'm sure you can get a good deal on a 2001. Check Zimbick Audi in Madison or International Autos in Milwaukee.

Laurel Audi, Continental Audi, Shaumburg Audi in the Chicago area were calling me/emailing this week after I took delivery of my 2001 S4. Laurel qouted a reasonable markup over invoice on a Casablanca white 2001. Continental had the most 2001 on the lot, though they never got back to me.

Default I'm in CA, but just bought a car from Bell Audi in NJ.

Call Robert Ski. You can get their phone # from
www.bellaudi.com

Even with cross country shipping i was significantly below MSRP.

Default I've got a suggestion for you, if you want to buy now...

Call Matt Kneeland at Byer's Imports (614-864-5180) here in Columbus, OH. I was there for a quick warranty fix this week and they had several of S4s on the lot. They are good people and will treat you right. Tell Matt Justin Troilo (pronounced Troy-lo) sent you!

Good luck!<ul><li><a href="http://www.byersimports.com">http://www.byersimports.com</a</li></ul>

Default In the northeast, as a repeat customer, I got a $1k discount. You're not going to get much off, so

either get it, or move on.

Default If it's an older A4 (not a bad thing) you can deal more than with an S4. What's the ms in your sig

for. Manual and what else?
