Trading in a car and ordering a new one
I am seriously contemplating trading in my current car for the A6. My question is, if I have to order an A6 (looks like I will have to), what are my options in terms of the trade in. For instance, the dealer told me it would take about 3 months to order the car, would they require me trade in the vehicle right away, or when the A6 comes in. Is there a way to come to an agreement where a certain number of miles can be driven/no accidents etc in order for me to keep my car until the new one comes in?

Order the new car and drive yours until the papers are signed.
When the new car comes in, your trade in will be evaluated and the final contract is written.
You may want to have your car detailed before trading it in to increase it's value. Check out how much your car is worth before making the final deal.

I negotiated the trade-in price when I ordered my A6 and received a signed 'sales agreement' from the dealership that included negotiated prices for new car and trade-in.
The dealership just asked that I keep the miles at a reasonable level and stated that any undue wear-and-tear could affect the final trade-in value.

I did the same, ordered the A6 and the order states the trade in value if miles don't exceed xxx and if the conditin of the car doesn't change (no accidents, dents, scratches etc.). This way I know what the trade in value will be at the time the A6 arrives.
Also, I ordered the car with a low refundable down payment which means that I don't have to buy the car the day it arrives if the won't trade in the old car for the agreed on value and I won't lose any money if that happenes.

I did the same thing, only difference is that I sold my car to the dealership, they cut me a check for the equity and I will buy the A6 once it arrived with whatever downpayment I choose. I had a second car so it made it easy to do.
My car was put on the boat on Feb 8 so any week now.....
