The full story

Why The Audi Connection earned this grade

The Audi Connection is graded A. CarEdge reviewed four verified quotes from November 2025 through June 2026. The review considers dealer fees, required extras, selling prices, and whether charges were clearly shown.

What they do well

  • ✓ Dealer fees were clearly shown. All four quotes itemized dealer fees and kept them separate from government charges. Average confirmed dealer fees were $392.50, slightly below the $398 Median state fee in Ohio, the middle fee amount used for comparison.

Where to push back

Before agreeing, ask for an itemized written offer showing the vehicle selling price, dealer fees, required extras, taxes, and government charges. Ask the dealer to confirm the advertised selling price, then compare it with the price on the written offer.

How we know this

Every number on this page came from a real deal.

Most dealer review sites scrape star ratings and count angry posts. We do the opposite. CarEdge shops for cars alongside thousands of real buyers every week — and when we negotiate on their behalf, we capture the full out-the-door breakdown the dealer sends back.

For The Audi Connection in Cincinnati, OH, that has meant 4 verified OTD quotes from the past year across 1 negotiated deal logged into our database. Each one is a PDF, an email, or a screenshot showing the actual dealer fees, the actual add-ons, and the final price against the advertised price — not a salesperson's promise.

Only quotes from the past year count. We split them into four groups, newest first: the newest counts 50%, then 30%, 15% and 5%.
