 OK, here's the scoop from the San Francisco Bay Area:

 I have just ordered my A4Q. It is being delivered this week, sometime before
 Monday, Feb. 5th. This is what I got:

    				INVOICE		LIST

 Base A4			23300		26500	
 Quattro option			 1550		 1550
 Delivery charge		  475		  475
 Port charge			    4 		   -
 Black leather interior		 1114		 1280
 Sunroof			  861		  990
 Sport steering wheel		  131		  150
 Ski sack			  139		  160
 Cold weather package		  392		  450
 Keyeless entry (remote)	  165		  190
 			 	-------		------
				28,131		31,745

 The dealer was Negherbon Audi in Oakland, CA. I have previously also spoken to
 Anderson-Behel in San Jose and Carlsen in Palo Alto. Both of those did not have
 the color I wanted (Black on black). Negerbon Audi in Okland was the first local
 dealer to com up with the right car, even though it had a couple of extra options
 I didn't want (like the keyless entry, the ski sack, and the cold weather package).
 Even Car Club (which I am not affiliated with, but recommend), was not able to
 locate a car for me.

 Their initial offer was $1200 *below* MSRP, or $30,545. I mentioned that Anderson-
 Behel and Carlsen were both talking $1500-$1700 above invoice, which sounded 
 reasonable to me. I conducted the negotiations on the phone, and the process took a 
 couple of minutes at the most. They sold me the car for $1500 above invoice, 
 or $29,631 plus fees.

 Hope this helps Rich and others shopping for an A4Q,
