Yes. Base MSRP is 55,200
It includes:
the convenience package: 2,850
Trailer hitch: 650
Audie Beam “rings”: 295
Destination charge: 1,195
Then the total MSRP is 60,190…
Is there anything I can also negotiate. Much appreciated!

I learned so many from you all. ![]()
Envision Motors. Avoid them!
Lol I didn’t realize this was envision. At least they were on brand. Wouldn’t expect anything less.
Your favorite dealer group
100%! @audileasebad did you call Zurich?
Haha, bought a Civic from envision last year. $2200 markup and they forgot to register the car. That wasn’t the only issue but I won’t hijack this thread.
OP Please call Zurich to cancel and initiate buyout once your account is set up. Pretty much anything dealer tells you is a lie.
He said he’s not taking delivery of the car now so he doesn’t need to do anything. Screw that dealer
I think he already drove it off the lot this the talk about buyout.
Ooops confused with another member with a shitty deal
Nothing you can do here now that you’ve taken delivery aside from calling Zurich to cancel everything you bought from them. Convenience Package adds a lot of nice touches to the car and is good to have.
So to summarize:
you have a few Zurich items: $1495 key replacement, a warranty (Zurich Shield), and PDR that can all be cancelled with a phone call to Zurich, as other posters have indicated. That will bring down your remaining balance with Audi Financial.
As soon as your Audi Financial account is set up (takes about a week or two, if I remember correctly), get the payoff number inside your myAudi portal and send them the money to buy out the car. You’ll at least save on interest.
Your Audi survey should be coming from Audi of America in about 4 weeks, and it should go to the email address used to set up your myAudi account (Envision should have set this up for you before you left the dealership so you can link the app to your car and set up driver ‘profiles’ for each key). Feel free to nuke 'em on the survey with all 0s.
Importantly, none of the above steps (should) require dealing with Envision at all.
The thing is OP went in uneducated and unprepared and did agree to the add-ons and did sign the contract and drove car off. He deserves much of the blame for the situation as dealer just trying to do job/maximize profit. Might be best to just not return survey at all unless something really blatantly ‘bad’ done by dealer.
From your contract above it says 5600 was due at signing and that additional 1495 package not in gross cap cost so ???
Deal sheet means nothing if not reflected in contract…
That’s fair. OP does deserve a lot of the blame for not advocating for a stronger deal / walking in informed, but also some of the commentary, taken at face value, about the ‘wait 3 months to buyout’ discussion does suggest it maybe wasn’t a 10/10 transparent / honest experience either, as I’d guess the dealer would have said the same line to an informed buyer about waiting.
Well there might be a few angry voice mails in a couple of months ![]()
Sure. I’ve been told to wait several times and I agreed and did so because I knew they would get paid if I waited and I used that to get something additional out of negotiation. In my last case it was a ‘requirement’ to finance and they asked me to make 4 payments so I just immediately paid down balance to where I could make the 4 payments which were mostly principal so it cost me a few bucks of interest.
Thank you!
I called Zurich and they mentioned The form would need signature from dealer. Try to contact dealer to get the form signed.
Make sure of that. Per @Carbuster1 it sounds like California residents don’t need to involve the dealer.
Which dealer do you work for? Just because you go to a doctor and sign that you may die in surgery does that absolve the doctor of all responsibility?
as a business owner- we always try to maximize profit. Some of our customers don’t really care about price, they care more about service.
