The Old-Fashioned Way
1. You can't leave. You're pressured to buy the car today, without the chance to comparison shop.
2. Endless negotiation. You're stuck for hours going head-to-head with a salesman.
3. You're overwhelmed by numbers. APRs, fees, payment schedules—you have to sign right away and there's no time to think.
Our Dealer Network
We generate millions of dollars in sales each month for the dealers. By using our website as the middleman, you can save hundreds of dollars on your purchase. Why do dealers work with us then? Because of the 50,000 cars sold each day, fewer than 500 are sold through our network. That’s a drop in the bucket for the car dealers, but a bottom line price quote for you.
In addition, we'll show you any available manufacturer Rebates & Incentives for your new car.
The Back Door to Savings
A dealership’s Internet department prices its vehicles to maximize the number of cars it sells, not the profit per car. Manufacturers decide the allocation of vehicles and dealer perks on the basis of a dealership's volume.
Coming in through the "back door" levels the playing field for your negotiation and tells the dealer that you have done your research, that you know about rebates, hold-backs, multiple price quotes and all the tricks of the trade.
When you deal with our contacts in the Internet department, you get a firm price quote, and oftentimes the paper work is already prepared when you walk into the dealership.
Depending on your location, sometimes the dealer will bring the car to you at your home or office for a test drive, walk-around, and ultimately delivery.
We keep referring customers to friendly Internet Sales Managers, and they keep selling cars at incredibly low prices.
The WhyPaySticker.com Way
1. Start from the comfort of home. It's so easy with free, no-obligation Internet price quotes from Accredited Dealers.
2. Make dealers compete. You know you'll get the best price with competitive bids from multiple dealers.
3. Finalize the numbers on your terms. Finish your negotiations on your time, then go to the dealership to pick up your new car.
New 2012 Audi A3 Overview
Audi’s signature hatchback is back for more in 2012, offering luxury and versatility at an affordable price. The A3 competes with other small family cars such as the Volkswagen Golf, MINI Cooper, and Volvo C30. Don’t expect a major change when it comes to the latest A3, as Audi kept most features and options exactly the same as last year.
Engine options for the 2012 A3 include a 200-horsepower, turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 207 pounds-feet of torque and a 140-horsepower, turbocharged 2.0-liter clean diesel engine with 236 pounds-feet of torque. The standard four-cylinder comes in either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission with optional Quattro® all-wheel drive. On the other hand, the diesel engine is limited to a six-speed automatic transmission and cannot be equipped with all-wheel drive.
When it comes to fuel economy, there’s a big difference depending on your choice of engine. The standard gasoline four-cylinder engine gets 21-22 mpg city and 28-30 mpg highway (depending on transmission and all-wheel drive options). However, an A3 with the turbodiesel engine blows that away and clocks in at a monster 30 mpg/city and 42 mpg/highway.
When it comes to exterior design and styling, the A3 retains its sleek, sporty body style from the previous year. All trims come with an S line® rear spoiler, LED tail lights, and fog lights. Upgrading to the Premium Plus trim will get you xenon headlights and LED daytime running lights. The A3 can also be fitted with aluminum roof rails, a panoramic sunroof, and 18’’ summer performance tires.
You’ll find leather seating surfaces, aluminum doorsill inlays, dual-zone automatic climate control, and power windows with one-touch operation in all trims of the 2012 A3. Higher trims are equipped with a leather-wrapped sport steering-wheel with audio and Bluetooth® mounted controls. Technologies such as cruise control, USB/auxiliary audio inputs, and satellite radio round out the list of standard features. The MMI® Navigation plus system with real-time traffic will cost you extra. Audi gives you freedom to customize the inside of your A3 with three different interior colors and sport front seats.
The A3 comes with six standard airbags and optional rear side-impact airbags for second row passengers. All trims are fitted with brake assist, a security system with a panic alarm, traction control, and Audi® hill hold assist.
The 2012 Audi A3 is a solid hatchback that gracefully balances comfort, performance, and efficiency. Commuters benefit from the fuel economy of the turbodiesel while outdoor enthusiasts might opt for an A3 with all-wheel drive capabilities. In the end, the A3 is a great all-around small family vehicle.
