Hello, I've been reading these forums for about a month now. I'm in the market for a new car and have been doing some research. This weekend was test drive Sunday. I drove the 2007 Infinity G, Lexus IS 350 and the Audi A3. To be honest I really liked the IS alot, but hated the price tag $$$$$$. The G just seemed so bland on the outside and really heavy, although the interior was really nice. Then came the audi, drove the 2.0T DSG. WWWWWOOOOOOOWWWWWWW!!!!!!!! All that punch for that little $$$$$$. This car is freeking awesome. I've only owned a few american cars and 1 bike(CBR F4). The A3 seemed so nimble and quick. The S mode is sweeeeeet. My soon to be wife come next month was just as excited about it as I was. For the performance and cheaper price tag, we're getting the A3 for sure.

Now comes the questions, pricing. I've checked different sites and pricing. I want White on black/2.0T DSG/S-Line. That's it. It seems down here all the S-lines have the open sky. I might have to get the open sky I guess. I also wouldnt mind going out of state somewhere in the southeast for a good deal and then driving the A3 down to south florida. Anyways, any suggestions on realistic price ranges and any suggestions on dealerships to get good deals: GA, FL, NC, SC.

Sorry for the long post but I'm excited and cant wait to get my A3 in the next month or so. Talk to all of you soon.

 

Mr. Blitzkrieg please allow me to greet you first, and to congratulate you on a very good decision choosing the 4rings over the other two, yes that IS 350 is a sharp car. If you were to wait lexus will have that car with 400 something hp in 2008.
Anyway back to bizzness if you already have a quote dont buy it yet i have a very good friend of mine that works at the collection and will give you a better deal then what you have now. The collection also has its own motorsport division that mods the car for you anyway if we still have time pm me.[X(]PS. i got my car from there it was there first motorsport edition in the A3.

 

BTW, the Open Sky package makes the entire roof black and that looks really slick on a white car. Tint the windows and the ride is super sleek.

Welcome!

 

yeah, white with the black open sky is sharp. The only thing is the rims are tricky with a white car....black, crome,gunmetal.......wouldn't know which one to go with.

 

Check out the GTG yesterday and you'll see a couple white with Open Sky. One car has the RS4 Reps, and can't remember the other. Both look good.

Are those rims on the white ott, the rims with titanuim pkg. Can I get those now, and if so where can I find?

 

There were two white Oetts and one had 18" RS4 Reps, the other had 19" custom rims. Not sure about the manufacturer of the customs. The top pics are of the RS4 Reps, the bottom are the customs. I don't think the dealership would set you up with either, so you're looking aftermarket. Go ahead and throw a post in the SoCal thread if you havea question and I'm sure the owner will answer.

Good luck!

 

Welcome to the world of Audi. Watch out though, it can be addicting!! LOL
Congrats!!! I'm sure you'll be happy with the choice!!

 

Got mine at Champion, in your area about 16 months ago, but paid sticker for an order. No bargain, but good service, no complaints. Good luck with your new A3!

Do any of youguys know of Audi meet ups in either Broward or Dade county. I would like to meet some people with audi's and see the different things that have been done to their cars. Since the A3 came out I've only seen 2 on the road. Doesn't seem to be to many here in South Florida, have some of you other SoFlo people noticed that as well or am I just noticing the Beemers, Mercs and Lex's around here?
