Digital Retailing

Structure Your Car Deal in Charlotte--From Shopping to Reserving--Online at Audi Northlake, and Save Hours at the Dealership

Things move much faster now than they did when we were young; gone are the days where we would eye the mailbox every day, hoping that a package or letter would finally appear. The same could be said with the car-buying process: instead of shopping newspaper ads and spending weeks visiting dealerships in the Charlotte area and haggling with banks, you can now compare vehicles, secure financing, and shake hands on a lease or purchase all in a single day.

And with new digital retailing options at Audi Northlake, you can do most of it from the comfort of your home or office.

Structure My Deal tools let you find your new or pre-owned vehicle; value your trade-in to see how much it might be worth; personalize your payments to find a monthly price that works for you; pre-qualify or apply for credit; select any protection plans you might be interested in; and, finally, reserve the vehicle so you can pick it up at your leisure--all online.

 

How Digital Retailing Works

It's pretty simple: digital retailing takes most of the in-person commitment out of the car-buying or Audi-leasing process. It puts all of the power into your hands, and saves you a significant amount of time in the showroom and the financing center. Here's how it works.

Shop Around for a Car Online

This one is easy--Audi Northlake has always made it simple to shop online for new Audi sedans, coupes, and crossovers, as well as hundreds of used cars and pre-owned luxury vehicles. Exploring and comparing models online has always been a given; but now, your efforts can yield results faster than ever, and could save you hours at the dealership.

Handle Financing and Payments Online

Our team at the F&I department is going virtual. When you pre-qualify for credit (a non-invasive estimate for credit approval that doesn't require your Social Security number) or apply for credit (a solid pathway to financing approval) online, it now gets attached directly to your customer account at Audi Northlake so we can access it at a moment's notice. This process alone could save you up to two hours in the dealership.

Reserve Your Vehicle in Seconds

For a long time, the dealership market has been run on a first-come, first-serve basis. Have you ever poured your heart into a vehicle that you found online, planned for it, set up your schedule, gone to the dealership--and have it bought out from under you? Now, if you fall in love with a new model at Audi Northlake--the perfect model, trim level, and set of package options--you can reserve it online. With a $500 deposit online, you can put your name on the car, SUV, or coupe that you want, and have it waiting for you whenever you're ready.
