    Planning to buy a new a6 Avant in the next few weeks, Its Coming in at 53500 Sline Extra's Etc, its a Straight Cash sale and i'm wondering what kinda discount I should be expecting(my first time buying new car) I was looking into buying a A4 before it was coming in at 48k and they were giving 1600k discount, they said that Audi have brought down there prices to reflect the current climate so not as much room for reduction...

    Advice.?

    Shop around several dealers for the best discount.

    Some will be reluctant to talk money over the phone, but if you give them to understand that you're serious then you should get a price.

    If I was spending that type of money, I'd fill my motor up and go on a road trip to a good few dealers regardless of their geographical location around the country.

    In fairness, the money you could save yourself fair outweighs the hassle of a day trip to Dublin return. You could save €000's if you do the leg work unless you have the money to burn?

    53k is a lot of brass for a A4 imo. Would you consider going to to the UK and buying a year old car for less money. Personally I would save 20k and buy a Superb Elegance Combi with all the toys..:)

    Also, you need to play one dealer off against the other. If you have the gift of the gab, it will work in your favour.

    Just remember, it's a buyers Market out there and in a recession not many people have €50k + to be shelling out on a motor. The dealers should be on their knees ready and waiting to blow you for that type of custom.

    Hold out for the best deal for you. Also, wait till the last week of the month........ The dealers have targets and will be more prone to bend over backwards to accommodate you on a deal.

    OP is looking for an A6.

    OP, did you see the recent thread (on phone, so a pita to link) about the pedals being in an awkward position (for them, at least), as a result of RHD conversion? Make sure you have a nice long test drive when you're dropping that kind of wonga.

    Edit: never mind, I went looking for the thread and saw your post on it :)

    Thanks For all the replies,Also With regards ordering at the end of the month..I would have the gift of the gab when it comes to something i know about hence why i'm trying to get to know the dealings..Something thats annoying me is in Uk the a6 comes with Sat Nav as standard yet its almost 3k extra over here.Don't have that much money to burn..

    Last time I toured the Audi dealers I was quoted identical prices by six dealers, a wholesome illegal practise.

    Best of luck with the car but an investment it most certainly is not.

    w.r.t. the Skoda, you could get a new Golf AND the Superb Combi for the price of the A6.

    Two of those A6's as company cars where I work, stunning looking machines inside and out.

    You have to go with the 3.0TDI V6.

    It's pointless otherwise, might as well get an A4.

    That's true.

    With the new VRT law it could work alot cheaper and you could get the 3.0TDI:D

    Fair play for having the confidence to spend €50,000+ on a new Audi.

    As an investment though it'll be spectacularly awful.

    also Reason i'm going with the A6 over A4 is the A4 143bhp was costing about 47k incl audi discount the a6 is costing 51500k incl audi discount for 4500k seems to be well worth the money over the a4? No?

    A6 is definitely better value, you will struggle for any kind of decent discount though since its a brand new model. Dealers make about 8%, they can afford to give you the 4 or 5 quite easily but probably don't have to to shift their allocation at the moment.

    The 3.0 has the quattro which is probably out of budget for you. I had a quick look and a year old Quattro SE spec is about 34k pounds. I think you are right to get the A6.

    Nothing wrong with 2.0tdi, but the 3.0tdi just gives off a nicer vibe/feel.

    It's effortless power, refined, muscular.

    Completely off topic but does anyone recommend any Audi Extra which they can't live without which is worth getting, My Partner has Insisted on getting the Walnut Wood(900) and adding lighting package(300euro). Anything worth considering? #personal choice i know

    For what it's worth (which is probably very liitle) I got a new VW earlier and in any of the garages i asked what discount was going i was told and amount that came to c. 6%. All without fail gave me more or less the exact same number, and one guy actually told me it was 6%! Given they're part of the same group i'd be surprised if you get any more but you should get at least this.

    I think the timber trim is a bit old and dreary in this day and age. It always reminds me of old Rovers for some reason. Whats in the Lighting pack?? Known Audi probably a torch in the boot for 300 quid..:pac:

    Audi in cork were giving 3% When my partner was going buying a a1(since decided on a mini as worked out cheaper) say price was 21300, the lady would not give me the 300euro off! Straight cash deal also...I Looked at her was like your really going to let this deal fail for 300 euro....
