msrp 31560
417/month w/ 16k miles/yr
2200 down including everything....
Experience at dealership was terrible but the $417 is what I kind of wanted to pay....
On a visit, I was quoted 38.5 k for a car with a MSRP of 40185
(parking sensor, metal paint, premium package and sunroof). These are not really options I need or want but it is the car he has in stock. I have arranged my own financing and would be purchasing for cash.
Any thoughts as to the price?
I think there's a Lease forum where you can ask about specific lease terms, including how the money factor compares.
Which dealer in the Bay Area is this and what are the miles, 15k per year?
Part of the reason people buy Audi's, MB's, BMW's, and other high line cars is because they want options. People like navigation, S line sport packages, bluetooth, heated seats, bose stereo's and such.
Why don't you just order a car from the factory and wait 3 months to get it if your a payment shopper?
If you want a lot with 100 base model cars, go over the Honda or Toyota store. Audi is a limited high-line brand company and they don't sell 500,000 corollas and civic each year.
you make an offer, you better are prepared to deliver on it, *especially* if you want to be a brand that stands out from the pack. luxury brands are designed to cater to expectations and if they create this specific one and don't follow through on their promises, they will inevitably ruin their reputation. you sell a car like this as a turn-on for repeat business.
the argument you are making is that of someone no more than ten SAT points above grunting and bashing heads with yard sticks.
that being said, I am doing my best after reading this thread to get outside financing before buying my a3 or a4 in the chicago area next month. anyone want to recommend a specific dealer?
Audi is continuing to have record sales every year. So whatever they're doing, they don't need to worry about a few people who cry that they can't get the cheapest car on the lot.
It's called marketing, and every industry advertises lower priced leader items to generate traffic.
As an Audi dealership, you have to do what's best for your store. If you load down your lot with stripped A4's with no options, you'll end losing more business than you gain. You'll have cars for the low end customers who want the cheapest car, but your 75% +++ customer base who wants some luxury options on their car will go elsewhere to buy them.
Silver
Premium

MSRP: $35,085
Selling price: $32,670
Residual 60%
Money factor .000175
36 months at 12K yr.
1st payment, total NY sales tax, security deposit, license fee = $2,200 total due
Monthly payment = $433
Questions:
1. Should I pay the total NY sales tax upfront?
2. Dealer mentioned I could split the security deposit, reducing $6 more off a month?
3. Is this a good deal?
But the options are CVT, Premium Package and Sunroof package. Well if you add these up, the MSRP comes to 33,000-33,500, not 35,285.
So the salesman I was talking to either missed some options or the dealer is lying about the MSRP and making it seem like a bigger discount than it actually is.
Are other Audi dealers using some third-party financing instead of using AFS, which seems to have good terms for the A4?
I've heard that there is $3000 manufaturer to dealer money.
I'm assuming on an 06 you can probably get invoice - $3000. Is this correct? Somewhere around $5k off of MSRP. Does anyone know how long this promotion is going on or if it will change soon?
I was told by one dealer that audi is giving $2000 to the dealer for purchase of an a4 2.0t. This doesn't show up on the usual incentive lists because its a deal between audi NA and the dealers. That being said the dealer usually passes the savings on to the buyer. I was told by a different dealer that 06's could be bought for $4k under MSRP but he didn't quantify the actual rebate.
I believe its either 2 or 3k from audi to the dealer that you should be entitled to receive.
Most dealers here will easily quote between invoice and a couple hundred over invoice on remaining 06's without having to negotiate. I'd keep looking.
So no great discounts on the price of the car, unless the lease terms has increased a lot. Or maybe they don't discount as heavily on leases?
How much would it cost to extend the warranty a couple of years? They still offer free maintenance on the 06 but won't on the 07, right?
Also, there was talk of some more than cosmetic differences between 06 and 07 wasn't there?

Thanks again... Now I can enjoy my car...
As an aside - did you consider any other cars prior to leasing your A4? If so was BMW or Mercedes in consideration, and how did you come to your conclusion?
Thank you in advance for your help; I haven't leased before and fear being taken for a ride - no pun intended.

Do the EXTENDED warranties start from day of 1st use, or when the factory warranry expires?
What would it cover that the factory warranty does not?
Wrong board.
What kind of packages did the 33500 quote include? Sunroof? Premium? Did you have any better choices if you included the technology packages? also in boston -
thanks

Maybe not the best deal, but certainly not the worst. Good luck to everyone else. Edit: This is in Sacramento, CA
The car has 98,000 miles...what are some things I need to know for this kind of mileage. The suspension doesn't make any noise and the dealership has no idea if the timing belt has been replaced so I know that the thermostat and the water pump would need to be changed immediately along with the timing belt.
What are some other things I should know before purchasing this vehicle? Are Audi's known for making it to upwards of 160K miles? I want to make sure this vehicle will last me at least 4 years before purchasing it.
Thanks ahead of time for any help!
Since this is primarily a pricing discussion, you might have better luck posing your question in one of the other A4 discussions..

No info on packages or option pricing.
I'm going to lease a 2006 A4 2.0T, since the MF Audi uses on them is excellent, the residual is decent, and the maintenance is still included, so the key factor is the price you can get on the car. I just want to find a CA dealer who will be very motivated to deal on the car and thus produce the best possible lease payment. Therefore I'm not as worried about depreciation as I would be if I were buying. The '07s would probably have a better residual if you leased, but would probably be a tad more expensive, and also have a higher MF, plus you'd have to factor in maintenance costs, so I think the better "value" if I'm leasing would be to go with the '06. Agree?
Any ideas on dealerships I should try? I'm in San Francisco, but I'll go anywhere in the state if the deal is worth it. Thanks!
thanks for the info
Are they gone?
Or people prefer to lease and the dealer money doesn't apply for leases?
Hope this helps someone.
