Audi Meadowlands

I recently purchased a certified Audi A4 from Audi Meadowlands. I found the dealership on Autotrader and was attracted to the great price on an A4 they had for sale. I decided to call and see if the t Meadowlands. I found the dealership on Autotrader and was attracted to the great price on an A4 they had for sale. I decided to call and see if the the vehicle was available and spoke with Angel Perez. He was great on the phone and answered all the questions I had about the vehicle. I made an appointment with him and went to see the vehicle. Their showroom didn't look very big from outside. I was surprised to see a nicely sized indoor showroom upon entering that show cased their selection of Audi vehicles. The car I wanted was inside and Angel grabbed the keys and showed me the vehicle. The vehicle looked great and was free from any dings, dents or scratches. I also noticed the 4 brand new tires as I walked around the car. Angel told me that all of his vehicles are completely certified once they are on the showroom floor and that the car was ready to drive home. He pulled the car out and we went for a ride. The car drove great and I was ready to buy my next vehicle. Now it was time to negotiate the price of the vehicle. As we sat at Angel's desk, I immediately asked him what his best price was. He explained his internet price was very aggressive and that he didn't have much room on the price. He told me that the certification warranty was included in the internet price and we didn't have to pay any extra fees to have the car certified. I appreciated this because I did visit a different Audi showroom were they told me it would cost an extra $2000 to certify the vehicle. His manager Mike Rafferty was sitting across from his desk and came over and helped us finalize a fair price for the vehicle. I was happy with the price and was happy with the interest rate given to me for the financing. The thing I liked most about the whole transaction was how straight forward it was. I went to the dealership because the price they advertised was great. I did my homework and knew that the deal was great compared to other dealers. I really liked the fact that nothing ever changed about the deal and they didn't play any games with me. The car was 100% certified and in perfect condition. I didn't have to negotiate for anything to be fixed on the vehicle before I took it home. I also wasn't subjected to any pressure during negotiations and never had to speak to 10 different managers to get the deal done. They gave me a great car at a great price and made a normally painful experience virtually pain free. Thanks guys for a great experience at your dealership. I will be definitely telling anyone that asks me where I picked up my new car to go and check you out. More

Adam is very friendly and responds very well. I would definitely recommend Adam to anyone. I bought a Lexus used car and as promised they have changed tires and did the oil change and basic check I belie definitely recommend Adam to anyone. I bought a Lexus used car and as promised they have changed tires and did the oil change and basic check I believe. One thing I liked is the way Adam explained each and everything in Lexus, patiently. I wish good luck for everyone. More

I purchased a 2007 Audi S4 that was purportedly "certified." It was not. The checklist I was given revealed that several repairs had not been compelted. The the dealership sent me another checkl "certified." It was not. The checklist I was given revealed that several repairs had not been compelted. The the dealership sent me another checklist, with certain items now magically checked off. There is no question that the second checklist is a complete forgery, as it was created several weeks after the car left the dealership's custody. The dealership refuses to make good on it. I have asked that the vehicle be recertified, and they will do so, but only if I sign a legal release, which I am not going to do. More

I was searching Northern Jersey for a used german coupe, Audi A5/S5, BMW 328/335, etc. Audi Meadowlands had 2 nice looking S5's and one A5 but priced quite high. They had a 2008 BMW 335xi coupe that was p Audi A5/S5, BMW 328/335, etc. Audi Meadowlands had 2 nice looking S5's and one A5 but priced quite high. They had a 2008 BMW 335xi coupe that was priced okay until you looked into it. They originally priced it similar to a BMW Certified Car's price of $33,500 with low mileage then lowered it to $28K. If the car was clean and had no problems it would've been a good deal. They obviously do not take care of their used cars or maybe that's how Audi treats a used BMW?? 4 major things wrong: 1. Driver's side interior metal strip (wood and metal options can be had) was totally destroyed. The entire ~2-3 foot length of it was dinged, scratched, and chewed up pretty bad. Either the dealership did it while they had it for the 2 months they couldn't sell it or the owner damaged it somehow. Audi Meadowlands refused to fix/replace it. 2. As a luxury car dealer they couldn't or wouldn't show me the past service history of this ~40K mile car. When asked for it Adam and his manager kept saying it's fine, it's fine. We fixed it up and replaced the tires (which turned out not to be true when Mike read us the service they performed later). Why would you even accept this trade in without a service record? Especially when it's not listed on the Carfax? He kept saying, "some people don't report service to carfax because carfax charges them money when they report service info." Sound dubious to me. 3. Adam claimed the car was loaded and true it was... so where was the Ipod/Mp3/USB Adapter Cables??? So the car is loaded with entertainment features but didn't have any connectors for it? Did they not get it from the owner or did someone else take the connectors for themselves? (even Adam admitted someone at the dealership took nice license plate/plate brackets off traded in vehicle before... so perhaps someone in service snagged the connectors for personal use or sale online?) 4. The engine had a bit of a ticking/clicking sound and was abnormally noisier than the other 335's and 328's I've driven and been around (I've test drove ~3 335xi's before and my friends have 335's, X3's and 328's). I figured I could just take it to a proper BMW dealer and have them check it out and set it right later since it was still on warranty/service plan. It turns out the problem probably originated with the dealer or perhaps the car was never serviced. When I test drove the car there were finger nail clippings around the center shift stick area. Pretty disgusting. When asked about it Adam asked his manager if he had been using the car and Mike said, "yeah". Turns out the manager and maybe even others had been joyriding and beating the crap out of the BMW 335xi for 2 months! The miles they advertised was ~40,500. When I test drove the car it was almost 42,000 miles! It was even worst, after I negotiated a price later on that night I noticed that the Carfax had the vehicle listed at 39,500 miles when they first started selling it on 11/03/2010. When I test drove the car it was 12/30/2010 and it had very close to 42,000 miles on it. So in less than 2 months they piled on about 2,500 miles on the bimmer! This also meant the vehicle only had about 8,000 miles left before the original warranty and maintenance plan ran out. Thanks for eating up the car's miles guys. They were obviously joyriding, enjoying it, clipping their nails in it, and abusing the car until they could offload it! Shame on them. "mchoi02" was correct in his review. Adam is very friendly and has high energy but his boss being "stern" was an understatement. His boss ignored every negative remark about the vehicle like it was nothing (example the chewed up side panel and joyriding miles) and during the post drive talk he decided his time was better spent grabbing a drink and watching the football game across the office. He seemed angry and didn't care if they sold the car or not. His negotiation of going down $200 was pretty annoying like he didn't care at all. Perhaps he didn't want to lose his joyriding vehicle? This could have been a good cop bad cop setup who knows. It seemed like it because after we agreed on a price and trade in, the next day the service went all to hell. I went to my bank in the AM to get my loan which they said could not be finalized that day on 12/31. I called Adam and said can you match my bank's finance rate? He told me to just come down and he get me financing. I told him I don't want to come all the way down just for you to give me 4.9-6%. Can you match 3.39% or better? I filled out the application and faxed it to him around 10:30-11am. He said it'll take 15 minutes. 30 minutes pass, an hour passes, no call back. I called him back and he said Mike is doing it now, give him 5 minutes. 30 minutes pass no response. I called him back and said if you couldn't do it soon I have my charity event I have to attend in the afternoon. No confirmed rate means I won't buy the car. In addition he kept my driver's license the night before, great! I couldn't drive myself anywhere that day! I had to finally call Benzel Busch speak to the operator and explain that I needed to speak with the owner or the GM because they are ignoring me and wouldn't return my driver's license. Adam was ignoring my calls and Mike was just shaking me off. About 3-4 hours after the initial finance application Adam finally calls me back. I told him where he could drop off my license and that no I do not want the car anymore. I heard him saying to Mike, "Don't send it, don't send it to the bank. He doesn't want it" real loud so I can hear it too. What was he trying to make me feel bad? All it proved was how unprofessional they are. So 15 minutes to get me a rate was what a gross understatement? 4 hours later they didn't even send the application into the bank yet!! I've had dealers offer me 2.9% on the spot and they couldn't even give me a lousy answer. So really what they wanted to do was get me down there after I agreed to buy the car so they could charge me 4.9 to 6% what a typical used car salesman move. At that point I decided that this dealership definitely wasn't for me now or in the future. They play games there, Adam is saleman friendly but only during the sale, Mike is pretty much a jerk (no other word describes him as perfectly without going into profanity, plus he beats the crap out of nice cars that aren't even his, pretty sure there's a level of hell for people like him), they abuse their used cars for personal use, leave it dirty, don't make sure it has everthing it should have, play financing games, and definitely do not care about you once you buy a car just as "Audilove" commented on. I wouldn't be surprised if Adam kept my license on purpose just so I would drive back and he could give me more pressure to buy the car after I drove there again. It's really a shame. My uncle has owned Audi's before and raved about them. I've driven them and really only Audi and BMW make real performance luxury cars especially in the entry level arena. Benzel Busch Audi Meadowlands is definitely not a ethical or professional place. If you are buying Audi checkout Paul Miller Audi in Parsippany and ask for "Peter". He didn't balk or go all "salesy" when he saw a young professional walking in. It's too bad too for Benzel Busch Audi Meadowlands, if it all went great once I paid off my debt and loans I would've definitely come back to them for my dream car, the Audi S5. Disappointing for a high class brand and as other reviewers have said, really not a good representation of Audi. I'll get my entry level coupe somewhere else and in the future a fabulous BMW M3 or M5 instead of the S5. Better to save yourself the trip there, the headaches afterwards, and go somwhere else for you vehicle needs. More

I visited serveral Audi dealers in the north jersey region in search for a pre-owned Q7. Audi Meadlands appears to have higher quality vehicles. It could be because their inventory is in an indoor sh region in search for a pre-owned Q7. Audi Meadlands appears to have higher quality vehicles. It could be because their inventory is in an indoor showroom and kept detailed clean. Most vehicles in other dealers showed great in pictures but look 'used' in person. Also, the sales rep I worked with was great. Adam was very friendly and attentive. He seem to go the extra step to win your business. His manager, Mike Rafferty was stern but professional and effective. Finalizing on a net price could have been smoother. But that shortcoming was made up when they both exceeded my expectation on follow-ups before and after the car was delivered. I would recommend this sales team. More
