I am also interested in the new B7 A4, since I am planning to trade in piece of junk ‘04 Acura TL. I was wondering if you could tell me what dealership you ordered from, the total price, and any additional options… thanks in advance

 

Sounds Nice would you post some pictures when you get it? or if you have any pictures that look like the one your gonna get i would love to see them....?[sm=thanx.gif]

 

a1pha11 haha I've seen that Acura TL and it just looks way to plasticy what do u not like about it just curious ?

 

Well, on paper TL is definitely a catch. The car has a lot of value, and I like the style and interior very much. It’s nicely presented. If I have to choose between Audi and Acura base on styling (exterior/interior), it surely would be a hard decision. And yes you (clconversion) are right that “it just looks way to plasticy.â€� Acura tried to cut cost, so they used 3rd grade materials… that’s not a problem at all. My first month of my ownership was quit smooth. Everything was expected and more. That came to an end after the first month. I began to experience hard start. What that means is the ignition had to crank up 5 times to start the car. My steering vibrates a lot at idle, which I am not so sure if it’s normal. The car doesn’t ride nicely, and that’s probably the contribution from the driveline vibration at certain speed. I can tolerate all those “minor problemsâ€� because I know no car is perfect. However, the only thing I cannot tolerate is the stupid rattle. The finish on the car is good, but the fit is worse than a CIVIC. I am not exaggerating my last statement either, and it’s sad but true. The rattle I have experienced is dependant on the temperature. Sometime it rattles a lot in the warm climate, and it’s hard to pin point the problems. I went in for a service and tried to fix some of the rattle problems… that didn’t work and I know it’s hard to fix. I am not planning to live with problem cause I expect a little bit more for a 33K car. So in general… “you get what you payâ€� and that’s probably true for the most part. I have learned my lesson. 04Ã*05 Acura TL is not recommended.

 

and everyone says the japness cars are relible thank you a1pha11 for clearing that up for us

 

a1pha11 - I don't know where you are, but i ordered mine from Audi of Mendham, which is in NW NJ.

I got the 2.0 Tiprtronic with the premium pkg and 17" wheels - complete final price was 34 and change

 

So speaking of purchasing a new 2005.5 A4 my buddy is going to be picking one up its a 05.5 3.0 Q w/ Tip.... fully loaded with every package possible so he says. but he is paying 42k without taxes and licensing is that a little high? or what? because i thought he should have got it for like 35 or 37 thousand... anyone know what the actual legit price on these are ??? let me know

 

im not sure on the exact MSRP, but that sounds a little high

 

enjoy ur new car, put pics up when u get it

 

Congrats. So you didn't ordered the car from Paul Miller Audi huh?! Put some pics up when you have a chance.
