RE: I bought my A4Q today!!

[Fringe Ryder <fringe@ai.net>]

That sounds like a GREAT price, at least compared to here.  Mine fully
loaded MSRPs for $33740, they gave a $1700 discount.  That still leaves it
probably $2K over invoice, based on what I've seen around.

Flip side: the cars are back-ordered here (PNW - Oregon).  I placed mine on
order 15-Aug, and expect it to arrive around 10-Oct.  Not a special order,
just the next A4Q shipment to arrive at the time.  There haven't been new
A4Qs with manual transmissions in stock this year at the local dealer,
except when one lady's came in and she saw it and decided to order a new
color instead.  (Oddly, it too was Pearl White, but with white interior.)

So I feel lucky to be getting away under LIST!

Regards
