2019 Audi S4 — dealer lowered price but added accessories back in

We agreed on a vehicle price, then the worksheet included dealer-installed products I did not ask for. The total is now higher than before. What is the cleanest way to negotiate from an out-the-door number?

Get the messy numbers in writing first. GAP, paint, and nitrogen are optional until you run the 2019 Audi S4 numbers without them. If they balk, that's your answer. On “dealer lowered price but added accessories back,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Post the numbers (or the code) and people can get more specific. I'd rather look cautious in this thread than stuck later.

Walk if they won't put it on a buyer’s order. If one piece looks too good on the 2019 Audi S4, hunt doc fees, accessories, and the APR next. Screenshot the worksheet if you can. That's the whole play. Going to compare one more dealer before I decide.

Treat this like a math problem, not a vibe. Call your insurer in Detroit before you fall in love with the 2019 Audi S4. I'd rather lose the car than buy a foggy deal. Time, temperature, and whether it's in gear are the notes that actually help a shop. Might be overthinking it, but I'd rather overthink than overspend.

Don't send a deposit on a phone quote. If one piece looks too good on the 2019 Audi S4, hunt doc fees, accessories, and the APR next. Then the comparison gets honest. Had a similar mess a couple years ago and that's what finally sorted it. If the VIN lookup is clean I'm still doing PPI.

Compare apples to apples or you'll get spun. Ask for out-the-door on the 2019 Audi S4 with fees, add-ons, and rate on separate lines. I'd rather lose the car than buy a foggy deal. Was this after sitting overnight? Might be overthinking it, but I'd rather overthink than overspend.
