I'm looking at buying an 08 A6, < 10K miles, cold weather pk, premium pk. Dealer has is for $38,900. It has 1 previous owner. as this is my first major car purchase in a few years I was wondering if you all could give me some advice on what I can expect to pay below this price.
thanks
Jeff
What does everyone think about this price?
Thanks for your thoughts.
I'm in a position to write a check for the car - so dealer financing is not needed. Would a cash deal like this mean anything?
A6 3.0 SEDAN 4-DR AUTO QUATTRO
PHANTOM BLACK PEARL EFFECT
BLACK
ALL-WEATHER FLOOR MATS & TRUNK LINER
AUDI SIDE ASSIST
COLD WEATHER PACKAGE
SPORT PKG - 19" PERFORM. TIRES
PRESTIGE PACKAGE
That is a good deal on a $56,425 MSRP in my opinion. Plus, Audi will cover first month payment with a financing rate of 1.9% for 36 months. About $1,500 below "invoice".
I also do not see much of a difference with 2012 model (actually do not like headlights).
535xi is at least $6k more that this. I realize that BMWs have scheduled maintenance; however, that is worth no more than $2k.

Just worried about the high miles. Is this a decent buy?
'03 Audi A6 2.7T QT SDN 39,000mi of elderly parnts. Single Audi/Lexus dealer w/n ~170mi. $45K pd new. Want dlr take back moneypit, then get CR-reliable car. Suggestions re audi strategy?
~$5000 Lifetime repairs pd to-date [incl replacing I/O tie rod assembly, ignition coils, torsen differential seal, door lock switches, O sensor, coolant & exhaust temp sensors, aux water pump, eng shield hardware, chain tensioner seals, rr cam plugs, fr axle differential seal, valve cover gasket, emerg flasher switch, battery (2nd x) and brake light switch].
~$6300 + tx in ADDITIONAL repairs "recommended" Dec '11 but now deferred [including replacing fr brake pads/rotors (2nd x)), pan gasket and engine rr main seal, lt fr drive axle & CV boot (2nd boot), rt ft axle shaft seal, shifter assembly for reverse light, and rr rotors].
~$3000 + tx in MORE ADDITIONAL repair (dealer's analysis but not currently "recommended") : replace valve seal guides (after 2 induction services for exhaust smoke on startup). Therefore, ~$10,000 imminent/future repairs!!!
Thank you for any feedback esp re strategy/tactic questions, such as e.g. :
1) what top dollar could be demanded back from dealer if assume car were in excellent condition so p's weren't punished for car's lemony history?
2) do you agree the repair history/imminent future is outrageous given mileage (used in se-sw US)?
(3) Using the purchase price paid & repairs paid/to be paid over 9 years, the car's monthly "lease" rate would've been ~$460/mo. Do you know how that would compare with a real lease rate (eg for 5 years, no loan, most favorable terms for lessee)?
(4) Would it be better to use for trade-in for new Lexus from this dealer which, with clean slate & no exhaust smoke, could be further traded for a CR-reliable/safe, etc car like Honda? Thanx for help.
You can spend $5K on just 10K, 15K and 25K scheduled maintenance and forget about the cost on maintenance once you get over 40-50K.
If you think that it's a "moneypit", then use it for a trade and take your $1K (maybe) and get another car.
Just MHO.
BTW, comparing Audi repair mileage to our '93 Honda Accord Ex manual, on several repairs, so much for Audi's high performance:
New battery Audi @ 16K & 39K but Honda @ 46K and 94K.
New rear brake pads Audi @ 18K & 37K but Honda @ 76K
New front brake pads Audi @ 20K & 39K but Honda @ 88K
But, even with 39K, $5K on expense's is cheap for an A6, especially 10 years old. There is something called yearly maintenance that should be done no matter the mileage.
But it's your car.....I do not put Audi's and Honda's in the same class but that is just me.
I'd lease by the end of this month 2/13, if they can find the build out that I want.
Thanks in advance.
This question probably belongs in leasing an A6 even though the first requirement to getting a good lease is agreeing to the best purchase price for the car.
I am surprised that there is not too much feedback in this thread on recent prices paid on A6s.
I know there must be a few thousand dollars in profit for the dealer built into the price.
How much room should there be for negotiation?
MSRP: 61370
Offered: 56500
%Discount: 7.935%
From TMV calculator, invoice is sitting at around 6.89%, and TMV is sitting at 4.43%, so we both got a deal under invoice price, which is a good deal IMO.
:lemon:
Quattro versions and I believe the 2.0 like the 3.0 has the 8AT.
I'm also looking at a 2012 CPO A-6 Quattro 3.0 which I would buy.
The A-6 3.0T IMO, is the best of the mid-sized Luxury sedans. Big numbers though. On a lease with 15K miles which I need, I'm seeing over $725.00 per month with no $$$$$ down (I don't beleive in putting Cap Cost $$$$ into a lease just to lower the payment).
Thanks. BRN
A6 TDI Premium plus 648 a month nothing down all costs included for 12,000 a year is that a good deal?
