Help: new Audi purchaser needs lowest prices for A6
Would you please help to find the lowest price over invoice dealer in US for new 2000 or 2001 A6 2.8 or 2.7T? Since I travel lot, I could pick ip anyplace. The dealer I spoke with said that both 2000 and 01 are the same and for 2000 they sell for less than 2% over invoice. I have hard time believing that there were no improvements for 2001. How much more would you pay for 2001?

2001- Has ESP, curtain air bags,passenger memory seats are standard. Might be missing some items. Oh ya, the gas cap thingy has a tether on it now too! May have the new and improved Fuel sending unit in it, and the upgraded TBB.
2000 model is a year old now, I would see if you could get one for a 'drive off the lot price' at invoice. If theres a 2000 on the lot, its been there awhile and costing them money to carry it. Car has lost alot of value in depreciation.

Probably the most significant difference is the extra year of warranty in 2001...
On the other hand, you might save enough on the 2000 to more than pay for an extended warranty when the time comes. On the third hand....2000 are getting scarce and you might not find a car with the options/color, etc. that you want. But I'll bet you can find a 2000 at or below invoice at this point, and with aggressive lease factor as well. The 2001 will probably be 1,600-2000 over invoice. Good luck !

Only if you do not want any service. Keep in mind that even a VW Jetta sells for $500 over
Out the door for invoice ? That is just plain insulting ! This how to get kicked out of real dealerships and lied to at others, until you end frustrated and carless. Unless you are very personable, it is a recipe to be treated like a cockroach. There are no cash incentives.
The dealers are very motivated if you are not picky. $1000 over invoice was too low a month ago when we sold our last 2.7t. I'll sell you a 2000 4.2 for $1000 over ( + fees = tax, lic, reg ). For this, you get a proper delivery and any assistance you might need that I can provide in the future.
You might have better luck getting a lower price and having some selection in the 2.8 range. Keep in mind that unless pinching each penny until it squeeks is what gives you greatest pleasure, get the car you really want and pay a fair price to avoid hassles.
Anyone can tell you to go and beat your brains out and burn bridges. If you have read this forum, you should know what to expect to pay.
Sorry for the bluntness - just spent time in a no BS zone.

Re: BTW, my 2000 2.7t has the tether, new fuel sender and upgrd.TBB....
The lack of tether is bothersome (stupid?) on most 2000s. But, the cap is designed with cuts so it can be hooked on fuel filler door while refueling.

Apology for my previous post, it was incorrect.
You are absolutly right! After reading my post and then yours again, that would not be a fair deal for the buyor and seller. Some amount over the invoice would be fair as long as its less than the amount over invoice for the 2001 model. I apologize for my erronous and **** retentive post.
Maybe a thing to consider, if you are trading this car in for another car in 3-4 years, the 2000 model will be worth less than the 2001 even though it was bought on the same day, same miles,,,just a different model year... Maybe the difference in the purchased price(over invoice amount) would help offset some of this loss. If car would be kept long term, then this difference is peanuts. I looked at Kellys Blue book and ran a 1999 A6 with a 1998 A6 same miles, good condition and the trade-in price was $3300 different.
