Proxus can get them for quite a bit cheaper then that I believe.

 

[PROXUS]

But I have EU units and If they are really have US new units for $2200 this is not a bad price. The only thing I would be concerned is shipping. That's most of units I have are traveling with my friends

good to see another resource anyway

 

[HX_Guy]

Oh, I was under the impression that the units you could get were US version.

 

[HX_Guy]

I talked to a buddy of mine who can get the US unit new from the dealer for around $2570.00, doesn't seem too bad seeing how it's directly from a dealership. He said it would be 2-3 weeks leadtime. I'm not sure how many he could get though.

HX_Guy,

I guess that the price your buddy got is plus tax? The cost for devices from ebay are usually incl. tax (if any). Still, sound like a good offer...

 

[HX_Guy]

I just asked him and he said he could get it tax exempt, so it would be $2570.00 out-the-door.

Decent price...but still about $1000.00 more then getting it from Ebay.de

 

[AudiA4B6US]

I asked the questions elsewhere here but do the US units come with the DVD (which is another $400 which gets you down to $600 difference)? No saying that it's th ebetter deal but it's getting close...

 

[HX_Guy]

Well, let me see if my buddy can find that out. I'll report back soon...

 

[PROXUS]

Dealer told me that only cars equipped with NAV will have DVD maps included. If you buy NAV as a part, DVD is not included, as well as cables etc.
