I negotiated a price of $2750 on the S8, and around 3500 for the W12. It's mostly about what equipment you have on the car.
I have the B&O sound system, full leather interior, rear fridge(W12) on and on. And that's why mine was on the high side.
I got the wheels insured for 1850 each(car). Given the fact that the S8 wheel is about 1200 bucks, and the W12 "fan" wheel is about 1400 a piece, it's money well spent, especially up here in "pothole heaven"
I just don't want to deal with it any more and I decided to trade the 8L in on a new Lexus. When I check the various web sites as to the value of my car the estimates come in between $40,000 and $42,000. When checking with dealers I find they will only give $32,000 to $33,000 which are auction prices. They say they can't sell the car and they just sell it at auction. What a disappointment, I guess I own the car a while longer and accept the fact that Audi has a low resale unless maybe on another Audi and another Audi is not for me..
The car currently has 45,500 miles on it. I purchased it for $32,000.
The dealer wants to sell me an extended warranty for $4988\ 4 yrs or 50K additional miles.
does it make any sense to buy the warranty or should I just invest the money and pay for the repairs myself.
Any horror stories about repairs and those that did or didn't buy an extended warranty on a used Audi.
I am a few weeks away from turning my A8L in and finally getting the S8. Stopped by my dealership yesterday and the fleet mgr showed me the residuals chart for various models. My '06 A8L had a 69% residual (12k/year). The chart shows 53% for S8 and even lower for A8. The mgr said that the residual went down for every Audi model.
Is this true? Because this makes a huge difference in what the monthly lease payment will be - about $500/month more for the same car (and same price).
Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Getting in certified at an Audi dealer is usually less money, but I guess the overall deal and purchase price come into play.
I'd personally never own an A8 out of warranty. 5k may be peanuts if you ever have an engine or transmission problem. You could be looking @ 10,000-15,000 easily on a German V8 engine or tranny if something went bad. Also, the air suspension can be very expensive to fix should it every break.
The 04 model A8 was the 1st year re-design, and they had a lot more problems than the newer ones.
My question is, they will give me a fabulous price to order one, orone off the lot (from another dealer since they have none) but on a car that is ordered, is there even any holdback amount at all to bargain with?
The price above invoice they were willing to give me is pretty dang good but my dad still insists I'm getting screwed if I don't get more off because of that holdback which is to cover the finance charges for a car held longer than 90 days
Also, I have had Audis that were bright red, black, dark gray, and silver (two).
My current A8 was silver metallic and that paint never showed the scratches.
What color do you all like?
Thanks
I bought a Toyota Tundra instead.
Also, when my S5 came through, I did not take it, because I could not justify spending that kind of money in this economy.
So someone got a nice standard trans, black on black, S5 sports coupe with everything on it.. Wahhhhh.
In Atlanta, the 2007 Certified A8s are ~3.5K more than a comparable BMW 750Li. The Audi dealerships are not able to match the BMW prices. Any idea what's going on?
I like the A8s, but can't justify spending the additional money when they are less popular than the BMWs. Thought Audi would be trying to win over the BMW drivers.
