We will plan on doing another Key West Drive this year and make it an annual event. We had great sponsors, gave away a bunch of swag, and plan on doing it again this year.

These are just a few events, but a good sampling of different opportunities available with Audi Club of America and Audi Club of Florida. All Audi automobiles are welcome, bring out those SUVs, crossovers, wagons, sportbacks, sedans, coupes and convertibles.

Audi Clearwater
I recently checked out a 2019 RS 5 Sportback at Audi Clearwater in Nardo Gray, JB the Sales Manager asked me If I would like to trade mine for the new one.”Straight up and you have a deal” I replied, plus I also asked does that also pay for the divorce? We continued to discuss how the partnership between the dealership has been such a success over the past year. I thanked him for the support of our events, the breakfast prior to the run to Gainesville and their Oktoberfest and then their graciousness in supplying us with many of the items we awarded at the banquet in Key West, plus the very significant discount the dealership provided on the additional items we purchased. He thanked the club for the business we had directed the dealerships way, Offhand, I know of at least two S5s and one RS 5.
At present, the following specials are present at Audi Clearwater. There is $10,000 off of MSRP on in stock 2018 A6’s and A7’s. There is also $6,500 off of MSRP of in stock 2018 Q5’s. To obtain these deals, call Audi Clearwater and ask for JB. Tell him you head by of some special deals in the Audi Club of Florida newsletter and he will take care of you.
