Newbie needs help!!!!!!!!
I went to a dealerships to look at a 2002 silver A4 with 66.000 miles. Minor scrapes and some curb damage to the chrome wheels. Black interior and both tops, all stock. The drive out price is $24,420. Please tell me what ya think? Yes or no will do. Any feed back please!!!

That does seem a tad high. If the car is all stock, the wheels are polished aluminum with a clear coat, I would try and get them down at least 2k depending on how bad the wheels are.

With the few scrapes and wheel damage - and the 66,000 miles on an '02 - that's pretty steep. If you can get it for $21-22, it would be a good deal.

Your buying it off a lot, this includes tax and license right? Where I live thats about $1,800. That would put the price around $22,600. I don't think it's a bad deal.

The price looks to be okay for an average condition car.
I don't think curb damage would be considered average.
Better priced than what I've seen around the ATL lately.

I think you may be able to do better if you look in the right places. I just got a 99 with 55K for 19K. They are out there..I have to agree---if you fill out your profile the guys on here will direct youto the best places to look that don't require hours and hours of travel time either.

I paid $25K for a 2000........
But it only had 7,466 original miles on it......
Summer's over.... A lot of really good cars will become available now and usually, for a good price too... I'd look around a little more.

Hey, thank you all very much for your help. I think I will talk to them some more and try to work on the price. I dont think they will come down anymore. If they dont I will go some where else. I think I will use the wheels as a lever to get some money off. I will try to fill out my profile ASAP. Thanks agian and I'll let everyone know what happens.

So I spoke with the salesman and he would not lower the price or give me more for my trade in. I told him I was not going to pay that much for a high mileage car. Later that day.... I thought this was really funny. I called a dealership in Sugarland TX about a 2002 A4 silver with 42000 miles, asked what the asking price was and he told me, are ya ready? He said $45,536 was its retail price. I asked him it had the ability to tell the future then hung up and laughed. Do ya think the car was that much brand new?

Keep looking - there are some good deals out there. Best of luck finding a car at the right price.
