Buying an A4 Quattro 2.8

[Don Sanshu <sanshu@triteal.com>]

Hello,

My wife and I are about to buy a new car, we have it narrowed down
to the A4 Quattro 2.8 liter and a BMW 328is.  We're leaning heavily
towards the A4 Quattro.

My question is directed to others who have purchased a 97 A4 Quattro:
did you wind up paying the MSRP? A little below? A few percent above
invoice?

We are in San Diego California and have heard that the A4 Quattro with
2.8 liter engine is a scarce model. Does anyone know if that is true
or just the dealer's attempt to soften us up?

Any information is appreciated, thanks for your time!
