Okay, so i;ve set my eyes on this car for some time now,
and this is what the numbers look like for me (im from Calgary Albert)

A4 2.0 Quattro Premium - 45,000
Metallic Paint - 750
Sport Package - 1,800
Bang and Olufsen - 1,100
Wood Trim - 500
========================
Total 48450

Freight and PDI - 2545
Air and Tire tax - 120
========================
Total before tax 51115

Total After tax 53675


Is this price pretty much set? or can i get some $$ off this price, currently, i think this is kinda too much...

I have no idea how much the invoice is, ive looked at other forms from the states, and it looks like people there can get them few hundreds/thousands under invoice..
(im in calgary alberta)

any tips welcomed.
thanks guys!

The problem that he has is that he is in Calgary and both dealers in Calgary belong to the same group. So basically, his negotiating is limited.

If i can get 1500+ dollars off at anywhere else in the country, i can fly there and get the car.

My province.AB does not have PST, if i buy at other provinces. do i need to pay PST, even thought the car will be registered at Alberta?

thanks

artificiallimb

No, you do not have to pay another province's PST, they will only charge you GST.

afretes

In ON, everyone pays taxes… both taxes. No Exceptions! Now, you may apply for a refund after the fact.

xuchenxixu

Hi bud, could you please check for me the cost for Nav package?

thanks

rolls167

hey xuchenxixu,

i paid $53K but I got the tech and nav package to boot so I'm guessing there's some room to negotiate.

i've read that 4-8% off the MSRP is a good discount.

good luck.
