Re: Consumer Reports on Oil (kinda long) (fwd)

Ah! Thanks for the clarification, I was scratching my head on that one. The 
dealer wanted us to pick up the car before the end of his quarter on...May 1.

By the way, we were told that the number of cars the dealers are allocated from 
Audi are correlated to the prior quarter's sales figures. Probably a good time 
to buy. They may be more anxious to more product to increase their allocation 
next quarter and hence their profits. Either that, or we had a good salesman 8-)
