Perk of the Job

This was at the dealership I work at a couple of weeks ago. We were having a party to celebrate new ownership and Audi let us borrow this for the event.

Of course following Audi's rules nobody here took it for a spin..

Sweet looking ride. To bad with my pay I will never be able to afford something like that.

[creggur]

They are very limited production, and we had a bit of a bidding war over the two that we are getting this year....

We had 3 more people put down deposits for the ones we are getting next year

Rich boys and their toys...

[Illini_Fan]

Just how pricey is that little toy?

[creggur]

Right around $120,000 plus tax, tag etc.. We haven't gotten exact pricing on them yet, but the first ones we get will probably go for over $130,000. We have 4 people fighting over the first two that we will get in November...

I just checked for fun, a front brake job is gonna run around $2,000. Heck there's a 2 page long procedure in the tech manual just to check the oil level in the engine. How about paying $115.00 just to get your oil level checked?!?!?

[Illini_Fan]

A buck thirty each, guess I'll only take two then

Two pages just to check the oil? I'm not even going to inquire about the number of pages needed to explain how to change the oil.

[creggur]

Yeah just to check the oil.

Funniest line I've ever read in an owners manual..."While an oil level measuring device is located in the engine compartment, it is to only be used by certified service personel"

As Henry Ford said years ago "If I could corner the repair market I will give the cars away". I could buy a new house for the cost of that car. And spend to weeks in Coz for the price of a brake job.

I wonder what just required maintenance on one of those babies costs for a year? "Sir, we changed your oil, checked all your fluid levels and also made a few adjustments to your investment portfolio..."

[creggur]

Most people that buy cars like that really don't care.. They usually just come in, toss you the keys, and tell you what time they want to pick it up.
Or
We go pick the car up, do the service, and deliver it back to them. They aren't worried about the price of the service, they just want their toy to be there when they want, so they can play with it.
