Any dealers post on this forum?

[FunkMan44]

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forums. I just moved down to South Florida and I need to get a car, and I'm looking for a b7 A4 2.0T. I've already driven it and know it's what I want, I just need some help in finding a used one.

The reason I've been having trouble finding what I want is that the car's gotta be a manual; I'm turning in a Honda Accord from a lease in 2 weeks and I'm looking to not have any downtime without a car.

If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it, PM me or just reply to my post.

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure the stealerships dont post on here. But I now your pain. I wanted a manual and surprisingly had a hard time finding one with a color and other accessories I wanted. Only advice is if you want it bad enough, wait. Its what I did and I jumped on it. Good luck!!

Why are you going through a dealer? I think you're probably going to have better luck finding what you want on something like autotrader.

[FunkMan44]

Thanks for the reply, I was really just putting a line out there, never know who knows a dealer that they have a relationship with that's just looking to sell the car because they love the car. That's the kind of dealer I'm looking for, a fellow enthusiast that's looking to move a car. And you're damn right, finding a manual used car is a huge pain in the arse.

I was really just hoping to not go through a private seller, had some bad experiences with that in the past. I also figured that this was a way to reach out to a large community spread across a farther area than what I'd be able to contact down here in FL.

call champion (in pompano)

I was on the phone with champion today, they didn't really seem too eager to make a deal with me.

carclubusa where i bought my car at..theyll go to the bank auctions and look for the specific car you want..if youre interested PM me..

plus i get $200 for everyone i refer..

[Hyphy]

Call Mark Chue @ Champion (not the pompano dealer). It's off of the Sawgrass Express Way and 441. (go south on 441 it's the first right when u get off. You can't miss it)

Anyway tell him that Nick (guy w/ Red b7 a4) sent you and he will find you the car you want. He is the pre-owned manager there and he will hook you up.

Do it tommorrow. Keep me updated aswell. Good luck. ;)

[FunkMan44]

I will give Mark a call tomorrow, they have a couple of A4's with a manual trans and they didn't seem too willing to budge on the pricing, maybe he'll be more willing to deal.

[jimmya4]

i had to wait for the right car to come across a auction line a few hundred miles away from my house for the right a4 just because i wanted stickshift. buddy has a dealers license so he got one from the wholesale for me haha

[Phrost]

I deal crack

They can't really budge as much as you are thinking because all his cars are certified. He could sell you without the pre-owned certification but in all honesty it's not worth it. You don't wanna be stuck with a german car without warrenty. He prices his cars very well otherwise.

[FunkMan44]

I'm hoping they come down just a little more, so I can fit the car into my budget; the salesperson yesterday got fed up after taking just $500 off the asking price. Another $500 and I'll take the car tomorrow morning. So I'm hoping their margins aren't THAT tight.

You don't happen to have Mark's private line at the dealership do you?

[A4CE1]

cars.com ftw! thats where i got my b7. lots of audi dealers use cars.com, as well as other dealers.

Ya I do. I'm in class right now but when I get home I'll edit

Bottomline: GLAD to hear your getting the audi and not another accord.
Dont get me wrong gas mileage is great for hondas, and some guy around my area just installed a 4k natural gas refiller in his own yard to fit his Honda Civic GX with the natural gas feature..

Imagine the first Audi Natural Gas Car :P Would be so classy

I love my Accord; it treated me very well, and was extremely reliable. However, it lacked a certain german appeal that well....the Audi has.

Nice, you can PM me his information if you don't want to put it up on the boards. If you have his email address that would be great too, the salesperson I spoke to yesterday got pretty nasty when I didn't cave to her offer, and I'd prefer to not have that happen again.

in my experience not many dealers are going to make deals over the phone. They probably got sick of you on the phone or as you felt "blowing you off" because there are people in the parking lot who are there and ready to go and hes stuck in the office looking out the window…for all he knows you are just doing as you are…car shopping…that doesn’t put cash in his pocket… They get calls each day from people who say they want cars, make appointments and then never show. Go into the dealers with a game plan and try &

I started out telling them I had a check in hand and was ready to go, went in within hours to take a test drive and then started dealing, I understand what you're saying but I was pretty sure I had gotten my point across about how serious I was.

I just emailed Mark at what I believe his email address to be, correct me if I'm wrong; [email protected]. Hopefully I'll hear back from him.

Nice! Thanks for all the help everyone

any time my man

[FunkMan44]

So at 4 this afternoon, after I finish my days work, I will be going to Champion to sign the paperwork on my A4! Thank you for everyone that helped out in my search, once I sign the papers I'll be able to relax, I can barely sit here and work right now.

[Brent27]

Congrats! on the buy !

its always best to start negotiations over e-mails you get a better starting price since theres no emotional attachment to the vehicle yet and they want to get you in the door.

Absolutely, I'm in love with it already. Just got home a little while ago from my post-buy joyride. And much thanks to Hyphy for the help, I got a call very shortly after the dealership opened this morning letting me know they wanted me in the car today.

No idea how to do that, I'm using the pictures I took from my iPhone, used iPhoto to get them to my computer, and just tried to use AZ's Insert Image icon where I was typing.

Upload your photos from your PC to a hosting site such as photobucket. Each photo's URL from the hosting site is the URL that AZ is asking for...
