I'd like to hear your opinion on this quote. I was quoted an Audi A4 2.0 quattro 2011 premium plus - with navigation and Audi care for $35,500 (from a smaller town in Florida). 36 months and 10,000 miles.
He tells me $595.74/month with nothing down (only $500 to cover taxes and fees).
Why so much monthly payment on a sales price for the car? I'm not sure how to proceed with this quote.
These people never cease to amaze me.
1.44% interest rate (money factor is .00060).
The additional fees that I just found out about today are acquisition fee - $695, dealer fee $699 and Audi care $800 (which I asked for).
Also, is it a must that I pay the dealer and acquisition fees, or can those be negotiated out?
Seems like a good deal but is it too close to what a 2012 would be (newer, no miles, known history)
Thoughts?
Thanks.
Thanks for any input
Also, what do you think of a 54% residual today on a 2011 A4 quattro premium, 36 month, 12K miles with $1700 off MSRP? (Technically, 53% but goes up to 54 with Audi Care and thus brings down the cost of Audicare to $430). THANKS!!
40700 + Tax and Tags. (165 over invoice)
Only issue is that the cars backup camera is not functioning, something about a chip issue/backorder which will hopefully be resolved by end of year.
2011 came with Camera at part of nav, which is same for 2012 but you also need the parking sensors to get the camera, which adds 575 to the price.
Hopefully will be here in 2 weeks.
Really wanted the E350, but couldn't swing the payments!!!!!
40,500 plus tax and tags (212 for tags and 6.35% tax in CT)
Got them to throw in AudiCare as well for 3 yrs. (problem with the rims I wanted vs what they were giving me!!, they tried to tell me that the GmbH rims were an extra 800, but there are a same price swap)
Didn't take the deal, b/c I was able to get the MB dealer down to 47K for my new E350 4Matic sport, which I pick up on the 29th!!!!!
Good luck!!
The A3 deal was split difference between invoice and MSRP, which for the A3 was round 700 bucks over invoice.
What should I be targeting tomorrow? I won't settle for any more than 500 over invoice...especially after waiting 6 months and them not communicating very well. Is this smart?
What is the b/o?
I do not beleive that Premium has advanced Key.
It is for premium plus and up.
I did the same thing today 2012 A4 Prestige 2.0T, Manual, Quatro, S line Package, Sports Package, MSRP $45600. Negotiated price $42500 in the Tri-State area. Lease negotiated $674 a month 15k miles a year 39 months $2300 down. $0 first month's payment. I walked out.
BTW the salesguy started off with $750 a month with $4000 down
That looks pretty close to dealer cost from Truecar - should I expect to do any better than this? It looks like a good deal, but I'm wary because it was pretty easy to negotiate based on our Passport (work program) membership. If so, I'll be happy to avoid the shenanigans typical of car buying...
The higher the trim line, the lower the residual on an Audi, as a general rule...

I am not sure if it is a goold deal, but I did check with other dealers around LA area. Here is my opinoin.
Pasadena not competitve in price at all.
Reverside stating thery are aggressive in price, but not true.
Auto galeria depends on its inventory. If the car is not in their lot, dont buy.
West covina does not have motivation to sell.
Santa monica gave me the best offer, i think its selling price is about 1.5k below invoice.
But I also purchased audi care and another package I was told cover wheel windshield and some other which manuf warrenty doesnot cover for about 60 more every mo for 60 mos. I am not sure if it is worth. But I was told that I can call and cancel within 30days. I will do some research.
In terms of the cars changing the Infiniti G37 will probably change in 2013 or 2014 years and the A4 probably also change in that time frame. The Mercedes C Class will be redesigned in 2013. This is based on information in Automotive News, a magazine that comes out weekly serving the auto industry.
I hope all of this is helpful.
1. Turn in the car and lease another A-4
2. Upgrade to an A-6 (maybe a used one as I don't want huge payments!)
3. Consider Mercedes or BMW???
4. Return to Infinity (which I used to own) or Lexus? (Japanese = reliabilty)
5. Buy out the lease and maybe trade in in a year. I currently have 34K miles (which is less than my allowed 36K) and car is mint. I also got free service as part of my lease incentive and I know it goes to at least 50K miles if not more. (I will still be under warranty in a year as I drive ~ 12K/year). What do I do???
BTW: just had lease end inspection and the guy said that I will be charged for new tires (~ $550) as I am over the allowable wear level. Does this sound right with 34K on the car?? The tire tread sure looks pretty good to me!
Does anyone know if there are incentives to the dealers to sell at the end of the month? I'm trying to get a 2012 A4 no Nav but Prestige for 38 in tri-state area
Thanks
I have 2 more months on my lease of a 2009 A4 Quattro w/ Prem Plus.
My buyout is $21,600 and is well under the allowable 45k miles. I only have 34k on it right now. I opted to buy more miles upfront due to a possible commuting change but that never happened. It was also much cheaper to buy the miles upfront (only added $15 a month).
I did a KBB and the Private Party value on the car is $27k while the Trade-in is $24k.
I'm thinking of keeping it for at least another 2 years. Audi also gave me a warranty until 62k miles because I complained of an oil consumption issue which they addressed as well.
If you do decide to purchase the vehicle, let me know of your purchase price and the finance rate they are offering you. I'm currently applying to a credit union for rates around 1.99-2.49% for 48 months.
PenFed appraisal came in around $28k.
As far as the oil consumption issue I complained to Audi customer service after the warranty repairs they performed. While they gave me 2012 Q7 for the week still my car was at the dealer for 5 days.
They gave me another 12k miles on the warranty. I'm located in central jersey.

I am seriously looking at a 2008 A4 CPO car, 2.0T front wheel drive. The car is in very nice condition with 19,000 miles. The car comes with an extended warranty (covered for 2-1/2 or 81,000 miles).
The dealer is asking $25,000 +tax/license with 1.9% financing. Is this an acceptable price? What would be a fair price for this car. I am located in Northern California, San Francisco Bay Area.
Thank you for your advice
I really request some recommendations on this deal that I plan on closing.
2011 Audi A4 Premium Plus - Pre-certified
9,000 miles
B&O - wood trim - Nav
The dealer has quoted $38,000 and is not willing to reduce any more than $500. I would appreciate any advices. After reading all the oil comsumption issues and other problems, I am skeptical whether to make this huge investment or not.
I am a student and this is a huge for me, however, I love the A4.
Cheers,
John
Even I see that the price difference would be only around $4,000 if I go with a 2012 A4. However, my budget is extremely tight. Above that I would have the sales tax and it would go higher. With this deal I can close it at $40,500 including taxes, for a new 2012 it will go up to $44-$45K.
Does this looks like a fair deal? I have checked out other similar 2011 used models & they range around the same figure. However, I really am looking for someone else's opinion to give me more confidence with my decision.
Regards,
John
Although you have probably taken this under consideration,but the 2011 A4 may have a better warranty than a new 2012.
I would confirm the original date of sale to determine what your actual warranty would be on the 2011.
Your statement sounded optimistic to me. I am really not sure about the difference in the warranties of 2011 compared to that of 2012. I am researching it now. This vehicles original date of sale is about 8 months old and plus this is pre-certifiied, so I get the balance of the remaining original factory warranty and 2 yrs addtional or 100,000 miles (extended warranty with lesser coverage).
Now, I did read somewhere that the extended warranty does not covers much, however, I still want to go with it. As the dealer will reduce only $1000 if I do not want it.
I am concerned about the issues reported regarding the 1 quart of oil usage for every 1200 miles. I hope the 2011 model does not has this issue.
Decision making time - Good deal/Bad deal

A dealer near me has a 2009 CPO A4, 33k miles, automatic, Premium plus w/ Nav, and some other features for sale for $29,900 online. Do you guys think I could get this car out the door for $27k-$28k? Or is that even too much? Thanks!

Do your homework. Find out how much the car was new and multiply it by what the residual was in '09. When you find out that number, that will be what the stealership owes the bank and the rest is stealer profit.
Anything else I would need to know before making a purchase or placing offers on CPO cars? Thanks again for all of the help.
