2009 Pricing - Any Thoughts?

Written by: trulynow on Nov 09, 2008 04:18 PM

Hello there, I really like the A3 (am coming from a BMW 330xi and need something smaller), but haven't seen much discussion on pricing for the 2009 models. I'm still balancing whether to go DSG or manual, and here's my first "internet only" offer from a dealer in Virginia. How does it strike you in the Audi community? The following is full description and Costco/internet ... Read More...

I heard the same thing. So which is true--overpriced or no supply? I am not sure. One thing I do know is that it is a great car. I wish I could get my hands on the TDI version. If what I read is true maybe late in 2009. Read More...

I'd tell him that you would much rather special-order an '09 that has just the options you want, instead of paying top dollar for an over-laden '08 leftover that has "junk that you don't want"...particularly if you want to talk him down on the '08 leftover. You can also mention that you know that Audi has been accepting 2009 orders on their computer system for a couple ... Read More...

Changes You'd Like To See in the A3

2009 is on order ... sort of

Written by: huntzinger on Jun 02, 2008 07:45 AM

Things that I would have liked to have seen: a) A diesel motor option. b) Some exterior color that's NOT on the VW GTI list. Currently, the Azure Blue that's supposed to be available for 09 is on a "delayed introduction". No word yet as to what its ETA might be, so we might cancel the order...can save $5K if we buy a GTI, or a 2008 left-over. c) Cloth interior My wife finds ... Read More...

Same as what diggydoc1 said: from a local dealership. We have a 2009 on order ... as of Friday, it has been accepted into production, but there was a "call Factory" note on it that needed to be resolved. Heard back from our salesman on Saturday - - the note was because the color of Azure Blue is going to be a "Delayed Introduction". What "delayed" that means could be ... Read More...

color question

Written by: diggydoc1 on May 24, 2008 08:54 AM

I noticed the 2009 A3 has Meteor Grey as a color choice. Has anyone seen this Audi color in person on other vehicles? I know that sensible people will differ on matters of taste, but I'm just interested in any impressions. Read More...

Euro delivery of 2009 A3?

Written by: huntzinger on Mar 21, 2008 02:46 PM

Hi all, Been awhile since I've really been active on Edmunds. Wife is thinking about an A3 and if I heard correctly, isn't Audi now offering a European delivery program (finally)? In either case, was wondering if anyone knows when 2009 production is going to start...looks like 2008 was into the USA by roughly August, so I was wondering if we could do a May/June order ...
