I came across this ad on Autotrader while looking at Audi A6 Avants. (We already found and bought the one we wanted but I was curious what is stil out there.) I came across this ad. Maybe I'm reading it wrong but WTF is up with them? If this is the non-offensive, politically correct version I'd hate to see what they had before. Incidentally, a "schnorrer" is a Yiddish term for beggar or more commonly, someone who tries to get something for nothing, especially when it comes to money and negotiations.

Just in case the ad goes bye-bye here is the write-up from Mohegan Lake Motors Audi's ad.

"Seller's Description and Comments

In the interests of not offending anyone. In the interests of not being suspended by Audi again (three strikes and you're out) for politically insensitive remarks. In the interest of full disclosure, may I say that if you are genetically inclined to negotiate the last penny... if your friends call you a "Schnorrer", if you're wife is embarrassed when you ask at the Carvel stand if they can throw in the sprinkles, when you buy two cones, then this is definitely not the car for you. You see flat out... THIS CAR IS EXPENSIVE!!! Yes, it is! But you need to know that the window sticker for this car was $61,665... let me repeat $61,665. THERE ARE NO NEW AVANTS. This was a factory executive model that we had to have. It has 2843 miles... 2,843 miles. It has options we didn't even know about... like adaptive cruise control. We had to have this car.... 30 other Audi dealers tried to buy this car... WE WON,.. WE BOUGHT THIS CAR. It's very simple.... we are pricing the car at $42,995 with Audi Certification and we have like zero room in the deal... We know the car "aint cheap." We also know we haven't sold a new A-6 Avant in 18 months, 'cause $61,000 is just a tad too high for any station wagon... even an Audi. So, if you can swallow your pride, this car is actually A STEAL. It's virtually new.... within a hair of being new. We are kinda sorta smart enough to know that when we crossed the $40,000 price point, we lost some of you. However, if you have an Avant... if you are leasing an Avant and need a replacement, this is truly an intelligent choice. And if you buy it, we'll throw in the sprinkles on your ice cream cones. Please, I'm appealling to you as a fellow human being.... this isn't the right car to try to rob.... If you consider it is one of a kind, it is truly reasonable."

Not only is the ad offensive, it's rude, condescending, exaggerated, and did I mention offensive? I would never buy that car or any other car from them. Aside from being a a-holes, it is overpriced by a long shot and it's not all that special. It's missing three options that I can tell are missing just from the pictures.
