Audi Factory Direct?

[Fringe Ryder <Fringe@ai.net>]

Well.... I got my car in a not-very-competitive market (only one dealership
in the state, next closest dealer about 200 miles away, more than a month
WAITING LIST for cars that turned out to be more than two months in reality,
all cars sold way before arriving, etc.) and yet still got the car for 8%
below list!  And what a car: '97 A4Q, fully loaded with leather, CD,
all-weather, sunroof, etc.  

I guess it would be fun, but don't do it to save the money.

Regards
