Pennsylvania Auto Dealers

Are you one of those people who are intimidated by the thought of a major purchase? Do you stress out and lose sleep because you do not know if you are making the right decision? Have you wanted to buy a new car lately but are unsure about the entire process? If so, this post is for you. Here are some car-buying tips to help you overcome your anxiety and make a decision that you are comfortable with.

1. Do research. The more you know about the cars you are trying to choose from, the more confidence you will have in your decision. Research various models online and take them for a test drive at your local dealer.
2. Know your credit score. Many times, buyers will go to a dealer thinking they can get a good rate for financing a new car. However, that changes when they find out what their credit score is. If you know your score going into the dealership, you will have a better idea of your interest rate.
3. Know what you can afford. When you factor in your monthly payments, don’t forget to consider fuel, insurance and maintenance costs for the vehicle. The monthly payment is just one expense of owning a car.

Now that you are armed with some tips for buying a car, visit your Trenton area Audi dealer today and use your new knowledge to your advantage for getting the car of your dreams!

With more and more states and counties banning texting while driving, you may face a hefty fine if you are caught doing it in your Audi cars.

In Pennsylvania, banning cell phones for drivers behind the wheel of a car is getting closer to becoming a law. Just a couple weeks ago, the City Council’s Committee on Streets and Services unanimously voted for the legislation. This allows it to pass to the full council for consideration. Councilmen Bill Green (R), Frank Rizzo, Jr. (R) and Bill Greenlee (D) are sponsoring the “hands-free” bill which will, in effect, ban drivers from using their cell phone for talking or texting while they are driving. Right now, the legislation is focusing on Philadelphia, but it will likely spread throughout the state if it passes.

“This legislation protects pedestrians, bicyclists, roller bladders, skateboarders and fellow motorists,” said Mr. Green.

The council heard hours of testimony concerning people who got into accidents or collisions as the result of talking on their cell phones and not paying attention. Since cell phones have become so much more sophisticated and users can surf the net, look up sports scores and do so much more, these devices are more of a distraction than anything else when you are driving.

Your Allentown area Audi dealers want you and your family to stay safe on the roads. We encourage you to put away your cell phone when you are behind the wheel. Whether it goes into law or not, be a responsible driver and pull over before using your cell phone.

One of the best things about driving Audi cars is the MMI technology that comes with it. If you have not experienced this awesome feature, here are some things that it can do to make your Audi driving experience better than it already is.

• Navigation – The screen for the MMI is ideal for viewing maps and directions for anywhere you need to go. The newest version of the MMI in Audi cars includes a joystick-type control so you can easily navigate your way around the map with your finger.
• Music storage – The new version of the MMI, which is available on cars at your Audi dealer near Philadelphia, has a hard drive in which you can store your favorite music as well as maps. This makes it easier to search for your favorite song and makes navigating quicker with less lag time.
• Bluetooth capabilities – The MMI system allows you to connect your cell phone so you can use it hands-free when you’re behind the wheel. This makes it safer to talk on your phone when driving because you can do it hands-free. Besides, many places (including Philadelphia) are banning handheld cell phone usage while driving so this feature may also save you a ticket.

These are just a few features of the MMI system. Check out an Audi vehicle today to see what else you’ve been missing!

In an effort to increase exposure and get more people accustomed to the Audi name, the luxury automaker has entered into a sponsorship deal with none other than the New York Yankees.

The deal includes an estimated $3 million to $5 million each year for the next three years to designate Audi as the official luxury car of the Bronx Bombers. This is the first time Audi has signed any sponsorship deal with a major American professional sports team, but it’s a strategic time to do so. Audi enjoyed a most successful year in 2008 and did better sales than its two major German rivals. That allowed Audi to grab market share and get its name known. Here are a few other details of the deal:

• Audi retains the right to park one of its cars in the Babe Ruth Plaza several times each season so fans can see it and get a close look at what Audi has to offer.
• Signs inside the stadium and on the exterior of the stadium.
• A members-only Audi Yankees Club with advertising for the car company. The club would be overlooking left-field.

With all of this exposure, you can hit a homerun by visiting your Philadelphia area Audi dealer and beating the crowd for a great deal on a luxury car. See one for yourself today!

When you take a trip to your Trenton-based Audi dealer, one of the vehicles you will see in the inventory is the Q5. The Q5 is one of Audi’s more popular models because it combines the practicality of an SUV with the luxury and performance you’ve come to expect from Audi. Here are five other things you should know about the Audi Q5.

• Audi Side Assist is a feature that alerts you when someone is in your blind spot or approaching your blind spot. The LED lights built into the side mirrors light up when possible dangers are around to help keep you safe.
• Audi Parking Assist Advance uses cameras and sensors to help you park in even the tightest of parking spots.
• A thermo cup holder keeps your beverage hot or cold so you can enjoy it for many hours either on those long commutes or days when you’re running errands.
• The signature xenon headlights produce more light than halogen lights, making it easier and safer for night driving.
• The panorama sunroof actually consists of two glass sunroofs that extend most of the length of the Q5. This gives everybody in the car a brilliant view of the sky. A mesh screen also helps keep air flowing and quiet when the sunroof is open.

These are just a few things you’ll find on the Audi Q5. Check one out today!
