northern new jersey.
any guidelines on current pricing relative to invoice in this area.
i'm seeing exactly $1000 over on carsdirect.com and between 1500 and 2000 over on edmunds. i added no options to the car at this point, just looking for some guidelines.
thx
Jeff
2006, A4 2.0, Quattro, Sunroof, Leather seats, 17" Wheels, and heated seats. (Did not get the Premium Package).
400.00 A Month
1200.00 Outlay (Includes 1st month payment).
12,000 Miles a year
2 Year lease.
Nice salesperson, deal and lunch done in 2 hours 45 minutes.
(Expected $350.00 turn in fee).
Thanks for that info that the money factor is set by the dealer, not AFS. So, the dealer can take the AFS number but does not have to. I did not know that important point and ... of course, the sales person did not mention that. He just said, I can't promise any lease rates now, as AFS may change them. Er, well, his statement was sort of accurate but was not full disclosure either.
Quattro
Packages: Premium, sport, audio, lighting
Options: Nav, headlight washers
The lowest price I can get him to is $34K + T's. This is $5200 below MSRP. Does that seem like a reasonable price?
Thanks...
Quattro
Packages: Premium, sport, audio, lighting
Options: Nav, headlight washers
The lowest price I can get them to is $34K + T's. This is $5200 below MSRP. I don't know if you just deal with VW or also Audi but thought I would ask if this is a reasonable price anyway...
Thanks...
Thanks once again...
Thanks for the feedback. I did find the sports suspension option rare here in the northeast. My dealer was able to locate the car with all of the other options I wanted (except the walnut trim). I was very surprised because I haven't seen a single one on the lot with this option in ANY color. There is a big regional lot close to my home with over 60 A4's waiting to be shipped to the local dealers and not one had the sports suspension. I'm paying $700 over invoice and take delivery this Monday. I'm most excited about this $250 option than any of the others.
Good luck with your car!

MSRP: $36,735
Selling Price: $34,830 ($800 over invoice)
I'll work out the leasing terms once the vehicle arrives and I'll disclose my opinion of the dealership once the papers have been signed. But preliminary feedback on the dealership is so far, so good!
Invoice / Retail
Base Price.....$26,669.00/ $28,840.00
Sunroof Pack.$1,274.00/ $1,400.00
Destination....$720.00 / $720.00
Prep & Inspe.$195.00/ $0.00
Audi Assc Fee.$266.69/ $0.00
Total.......$29,124.69/ $30,960.00
So, Invoice is $29,124.69. I would be willing to do $350.00 over Total Invoice.
Premium Package
Lighting Package
Tech Package/Navigation System & SAT
Cold Weather Package
Audio Package w/ XM
Trying to decide between the Light Silver metallic w/ Ebony interior or Arctic White w/ Beige interior and Brown Polished Walnut.
If I want the car in 2 weeks I have to take the white. If I can wait then I would get the silver. Still not sure yet.
As to pricing:
The dealer gave me $42,548.00 for a premium purchase.
I'm not sure this was the best deal...but I imagine i can revisit the issue.

Overall, the 2 things I miss, but not terribly, are the electronic rear view mirror and memory seats.
I went to A/C yesterday and figured about 20+ miles a gallon.
I completed the deal at Riverside Audi.
Cap Cost: $37,160 ( I paid zero $ for cap cost reduction)
Residual: 75%
Money factor: .00159
total out of pocket at signing: $1251
payment: $487
This also includes free maintenance and a free loaner when you drop the car off for service. I am very pleased with the deal and the car and would never conceive of buying, rather than leasing an Audi because they depreciate so horribly, however, they are posting such a high residual and low money factor that leasing makes a great deal of sense.
dealer: The Collection, Coral Gables, FL.
I love my new A4 2.0T quarttro avant wagon. I just got it a few days ago. It is so nice-- fit and finish in the interior is great.
below i will post numbers to my lease deal.
first-- let me say something i realized--- at first i didnt think i would get the car i did because it was in the showroom with LOADED packages and add-ons. Things i didnt think was necessary. But heres the deal- when you lease-- you get to multiply the residual % times the MSRP, so if the MSRP is higher (loaded packages and goodies), then your residual is higher and the gap between cap cost (negotiated price) is essentially the same as if you got a lower priced car without all the fun.Especially right now with the high A4 residuals-- it works out well.
I AM SOOOO GLAD I GOT THE LOADED CAR-- ITS SO MUCH FUN AND THE PACKAGES LIKE TECH BLUETOOTH, BOSE STERIO UPGRADE AND TIRE-WHEEL UPGRADE ARE SWEET.
For basically the same lease payment-- you get NICER car than otherwise 'average'. I can not tell you how much of a difference at least the BOSE and the wheels make.
(just like shoes-- make an outfit).
i also got the manual 6 speed-- its so much fun to drive and control with this engine, if you are into that sort of feel.
here are my numbers:( for a 2 year 12K)-
MSRP- $38,185
negotiated price- 36,440
money factor- 0.00185 (avant)
Residual higher for avant=77% (78% if you get 10K)
i put down 2K to reduce the cap cost (brought down to $34,440)
monthly payment=$329, $358 (includes state tax at 9.1% WA).
THE CAR IS SWEET! GO FOR THE LOADED AT THESE RESIDUALS-- as long as whatever MSRP you be sure to negotiate a decent selling price well under that. It took some effort and haggling but worth it- at least i got under TMV true market value for this car. It looks like i got about $1700 discount from MSRP.
my packages included premium, sunroof, TECH, BOSE premium sound, wheel upgrade, cold weather, wiper? and something else?. The car talks to you!
Is this a 24-month lease with 10k miles per year?
How much was your total drive off not including the MSD? Or your total with MSD?
did you get the Tech package with Bluetooth or just the Tech package?
I am not sure what you mean by "total drive off not including MSD" - can you please clarify?
e.g. Tax, registration, first month, etc.
Or what did you pay before you left the dealership? We can deduct the MSD to compare against other lease deals (including those without MSD).
What about registration, doc fees, etc.?
Sounds like you had to pay $3500-4000 or more including those MSDs before you left the lot?
Acquisition Fee : $575
First Month's lease: $425
License & Doc Fee: $170
Out of pocket: $1,170
Refundable MSD: $2,125
Total: $3,295 of which MSD is 100% refundable at end of lease
A4 2.0T Quattro 2006 - 10k/year - 24 months
$944 signing + lisc/regs + doc fee + tax = $2088.92
$369/monthly
Is this is a good deal? what else can I get?
What is the MSD?
A4 2.0T automatic with moonroof
base: 30960
invoice: 28663
blue book: 29390
=======================================
Last month we were car shopping again – now looking for a sporty wagon. We tried Audi of Mendham this time after driving the Saab and BMW alternatives. They said had no A4 wagons or sedans to drive. The sales guys showed no interest in trying to find a car for us and didn’t even bother getting information from us. We bought a Saab 9-3 SportCombi the next week.
My wife and I are both professionals in our late 30’s and were buying in cash. Why Audi dealers in New Jersey don’t want to talk to us is a mystery. Audi may make great cars – I wouldn’t know, I’ve never had a chance to drive one.
Maybe it's a "Jersey" thing and the harsh attitude is the way people are up there with higher-line cars. Or maybe you just were really unlucky and got the few bad apple sales people.
.
The deal was 10k x 24 mos.
349.99 a month
2150.00 total out of pocket- includes tax upfront,registration for two yrs w/specialty plates,first month payment,aquisition fee,lic/doc fee.
I called New Yrs eve as I was going on vacation last week. Negotiated about 2k off of MSRP of 35680 to 33600 over the phone. Gave them a deposit to lock the special rates in and picked up the car today. They had a good selection and delivered exactly what they promised. And the 76% residual with a 1.4 money factor was a killer deal.
I will be in the market within the next couple months for a 2006 2.0T manual(no quattro) with the premium package(basically leather/sunroof & not much more). I will be selling my 2000 328CI and looking at the Audi's. My question to you all is what are good monthly lease prices for the above on a 3yr 15K lease, no money down? If I were to buy instead, what are they selling for(bottom dollar)? I currently lease a 2006 4Runner and will be purchasing this for my signifficant other. Will Audi allow you to buy extra miles up front on a lease for a cheaper rate than what they charge for a penalty at the end? The reason I ask, is that toyata let me buy an extra 5K miles for half the price at $.10/mile. Any suggestions or purchasing experience with this would be great.
Thank you,
Brandon
A4 2.0T Sline, Technology Package (with Bluetooth)
$37,089.00 (MSRP of 38335)
$1,000 out of pocket lease (including taxes etc.)
Here are the lease payments he quoted me:
36 X $521.00
39 X $530.00
48 X $608.00
60 X $556.00
Also the dealer is claiming that the invoice price of the A4 has gone up $469.69. Does this sound right or is he trying to pull a fast one? :confuse:
2.0t
quattro
prem package
tech/bluetooth
sunroof/leather
pwr sunshade
headlight washers
MSRP of the car is $36510
1st dealer says 24mo residual is 68%, 36mo residual is 56%
m.f. .00122
Selling at $36,000 (510 off MSRP seems expensive)
1st mo , sec deposit, acc fee, plate = $1281.65
24mo=$598.27
36mo=$548.65
2nd dealer
Selling price $35,100 (a little better about $1400 off MSRP)
out of pocket was much different $1900.50
he said m.f. was about 2.5 %
24mo residual $24826.80 = 68%
24mo =$537.80
36mo residual $20445.60 =56%
36mo = $500.36
My problem is this configuration has to be ordered. Both dealers tell me that the programs expire each month and I could be looking at much different programs in 90 days. The two deals are close, but there is more going on than just the selling price difference. I've used an internet lease calculator and one on my palm pilot and I can't figure out where the difference happens. Any and all help appreciated.
He's not pulling a fast one and telling you the truth.
MSRP $49,735 (as configured)
Capitalized cost $45,770, plus $1,741 sales tax (NY 7.375%)
10,000 miles per year, .00235 money factor, 61% residual
Monthly payment: $660 including tax
Upfront:
1st month ($660)
Security deposit ($675)
Dealer fee ($399)
Bank fee ($575)
Title/registration, etc. ($130)
Seems like a a good deal...any thoughts?
I am interested to hear what kind of deals forum members have got for 2006 A4's in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Specifically, how much over invoice ?
Cheers :shades:
The price seems pretty nice which is $21,998.
When I checked CARFAX it seems nothing come up except the fact that previous owner -lease- got service quite often (total 7)including two Electrical system.
Do you guys think is it good idea to buy it or not plz let me know.

Looking for a 2.0 in Austin-what dealer was advertising this price?
Thx.
you're not alone!
it seems audi don't care about customer service. i just recently visited princeton audi with my wife and was treated the same way. we were looking for the a4 special lease but the first words out of the salesman was that he does not have those cars and won't be getting one any time soon.
audi just missed on another customer, just signed up for a bmw. it's their loss.
I have money to buy a car, but am considering leasing so I can save the money and invest in other places. I have only driven one car and had it for ten years so I do not have experience in leasing. I also have a long commute to work (i.e 30 miles one way) so am not sure if this should factor into my decision. Any advice or thoughts?
Also... if you tend to keep your cars a long time, leasing isn't a viable option..

Way back, I was offered a great deal which would allow me to get into the A4. Feeling excited and nutz, and having money from working a lot, I felt the entitlement. Don't get me wrong, it is and was a great car. But at the end of the lease, to continue driving it (aka, own) my payments would go up.
Think of leasing this way: "Ok, I will lease. Able to ride around in a great car, for 3 years. Maintenance covered. Essentially a no problem car. Catch: what will I do when that 36m is up?!"
I was not happy, having limited options and not having the particular means to buy another car, let alone have my monthly payment increase. However, should money be of no significance to you, then there really is no bad answer, let alone advice.
Granted, cars are like computers: never will make you money, always depreciate, and they will always come out with something better. So, if money is of no consequence, yes, go with the lease. However, if you can not be or allow yourself to be that free-spending, then definitely buy.
In probably 24-26m I will look to get back to an Audi! This time to own. For there are still little things that happen during a lease that are nerve-racking because it isn't YOUR car. Maintenance may be covered. Warranties may come in handy (but one has this if one buys a car... = push). But, if you ding the rims (as I did), it still comes out of your pocket for the rim repair guy through the dealer for X dollars. Different driving when it is someone elses.
Some things to think about... Best of luck.
If I do lease, do you recommend adding on navigation and technology package or buying a portable unit like TomTom? Thanks. It seems like if you order it with Navi and Tech package you end up paying for the entire cost over the lease and do not get anything back after the lease.
Some makes have lower residual percentages on NAV models, such as Acura, Honda, etc.. Some don't (BMW).
Unfortunately, I have no idea about Audi.. If the residual percentage is the same, then you are paying for the NAV at the same rate as the rest of the vehicle.. Then it just comes down to what you want to spend your money on... I like sport packages with upgraded tires/wheels... and xenon headlamps... Others like leather and XM radio..
Be sure to get what you want..

Just a general question...
I am getting a chance to deal directly with a sales manager through a good friend of mine. I was wondering how much levrage (if any) are there in terms of dealing with this kind of relationship?
What should I expect? (if anything) The differences? etc..
Thanks
