2013 and Earlier - Audi A4 Prices Paid and Buying Experience

mvs1

I'm replying since I scrolled up and saw the Danbury Audi name in nyaudi's post.

My wife and I bought an 05 from Danbury Audi which is our local dealer. She'll end up with a Q5 most likely when the are available. I was just up there for service this past Friday.

There is one person that handles the internet inquires and that person is very good from a consumer's perspective. You may have to push a little initially but she'll work the deal up right in front of you and disclose all the parameters (fees).

Leased the following recently in SoCal:

2007 A4 2.0TQ sedan w/ S-Line Titanium Package
Dolphin Gray

drive off = $735 (first month plus license fees)
monthly = $446
term = 36 months w/ 12k miles per year

To reply to a couple posts - we did buy from Danbury Audi.

We were told that the $2K supplier incentive was expiring end of July. I expected it would extend into August until '07s were gone. However, I had asked the salesperson to let me know if it did so I could send him more business, but never heard back that it continued, so I'm guessing it did not.

Good guy to deal with - Art Markus. As an engineer, I appreciate a salesperson who respects that I do in fact understand numbers and doesn't ask me "what monthly payment do you want?" :-)

So, that means you can just get the supplier deal for 6% off MSRP, with whatever current dealer incentive is available stacked on top of that. The reality is you can negotiate that deal on your own as it seems most places are selling 2007 A4s at close to invoice anyway.

BTW - to reply to another post - we purchased a manual and the 3.2 deal I mentioned seeing at Danbury was also a manual, which is why they mentioned it to me.

Hi I'm working on a deal with Key Audi in Jacksonville, FL.

2007 Audi A4 3.2L Quattro
Dolphin Gray
Ebony Interior
Convienence Package
Bluetooth
MSRP: 40,700
Inv: 37200

My question is: Are you guys saying this dealer should have up to $3000 to go under invoice or under MSRP?

Should I be in there offering 34200?

Thanks
Dittykb

Give it a try if they say no don't get mad just leave. Then maybe settle fo 5k under msrp I saw a dealer lot full of them. All where 5k off Hope this helps.

I may be ordering a 2008 A4 3.2 Quattro automatic. (We much prefer the 6 cylinder over the 4.) The only add-ons are the automatic transmission and the rear side air bags. MSRP with destination charge is $39,525. I'm buying not leasing and am thinking $38k. (I'll start with a lower price offer than that. I'm thinking it could end up at $38k.)

Thoughts? Suggestions? I've never ordered a car before since in previous car purchases we've been lucky to find what we've wanted on a lot.

Anyone purchased a 2008 model?

pistol_pete1

I'm getting a price of $31,175 through the Audi website for the above specs.

I made the drive from over from SC and bought a 2007 A4 at Jim Ellis ATL (they also have a dealer in Marietta). I may have left a little bit on the table, but I'm comfortable with the price I paid and I got the car in the color combination I wanted:

Specifics:
A4 Quattro Black/Beige 98 miles on the odometer
Premium Package
Convenience Package
Navigation System
Sticker: $37,315

Paid : $32,000
Doc Fee: $ 400
$32,400 + SC tax ($300) & License

If anyone is considering purchasing one, they still have quite a few left (one of which is a silver with black premium, convenience, heated seats) that has apparently been on the lot for quite a while. They really wanted to deal on that car but it's not my favorite color combo and it has 1,000 miles on it. I'm not sure when Audi had a price increase (I'm assuming it was on the destination charge), but several cars I priced using Edmunds were off by about $55 too low. That could be a good tool to use to determine how desperate they are to unload a car. There were two CVT's with premium and convenience at the Marietta dealer that were pre price increase that I would have gone after had this deal not worked out. I figure that 6K off of those wouldn't be out of the question. Hope this helps someone out! BTW, so far I love the car! (it's a little more comfortable than my Miata )

A reporter from a national newspaper is hoping to talk to consumers who have been shopping for a European vehicle (BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Audi or others) and have found them to be more expensive because of the Euro exchange rates.

I went to test drive today for a 2008 A4 sedan. Quite impressive with the car except a little pricey.

2.0T CVT
Deep blue
Premium package
Sticker price: $32k
Invoice: $30500

Dealer won't get much lower on invoice price. Anybody bought 08 A4 recently? What should I expect to pay for purchase?

jlkil

I just looked at an A4 that was priced ~$32k including the 995 dealer paint and fabric protector. Dealer didn't budge much, I am talking to another dealer that seems more willing to deal, but they are in a much larger city. Just a ballpark figure was a LOT less.

Just purchased 07 A4 Quattro
Auto
Premium PKG
Rear airbag
Silver Metellic

MSRP $33,940
bought it for $28,900 plus tax
They gave me 2.9% financing for 60 months too.
I think it was a good deal

msmith777

Sounds like a great deal...do you have specifics? Dealer location? Also, if you could email me the name of the salesperson that would be great...

theresa11

Now that Audi do not offer free maintenance with a new purchase, does anyone have any comments about the Audi Care program that is currently being offered? I gives you 4ys/50K miles for $590.

Thanks for input.

I've owned two Audis in the past. I loved both cars, especially the TT Roadster, but I wouldn't have owned either of them without the Audi warranty and maintenance plan. Why? As much fun as they were, they spent lots of time in the shop and the mechanics' bill ran in the thousands. Even an oil change cost twice that of a Honda.

mark_wny

I recently visited an Audi dealer and asked, 'what proportion of the cars are leased vs. sold?' I was stunned when the salesman replied, 'about 90% are lease deals.' I have noticed that all the 'special offers' on the Audi website are leases. On the A4 Reliability forum, the consensus seems to be that the cars are wonderful up to about 50K miles, but then are finished.
To a non-Audiphile, this raise a question: can a car that is functional for only 50K miles (half the lifetime of a regular car) really be a valid prospect in any market?

rjorge3

Mark, I'll share with you my experience which it touches a good point you mentioned. I leased my A4 1.8 on January 2005 (39 months Lease, 50K warranty and scheduled maintance included up to 50k) My lease allowed me 15k miles per year. Since I have a work horse (1994 celica) which I use it together with the Audi, I thought that I would never used my mileage this early, but because I had to lend my beloved Celica to a family member for almost 5 months, that made me go over the mileage. I right now have 53k in the Audi and I still have 5 more months until the lease is over....and guess what? since I have the celica back, the A4 sits in my garage as I am scared to death to drive it because the warranty expired.

I can share the same feeling of some people in this forum, nice car to drive and "own" during the lease/warranty period, but it does make you feel uneasy after the warranty period expires. Of course I feel this way due to 5 unscheduled trips to the dealer to fix a: vacuum system problem, replacing the gas tank, three trips for the engine light "on" and another for loss of power in the middle of the Lincoln Tunnel. Other than that it is a magnificent car to drive, and that that I only have the anemic 1.8L.

You know what, it is almost like being in an abusive relationship, you know you are going to get hurt, but boy what a fun car to drive Audis are. I am even comtemplating in leasing (this time I will not lend my other car and I will only lease it for 36 months-I learned my lesson) the B8 when it comes out..........I know I know......hey I've told you gang, it is indeed a Masochist relationship :shades:

mark_wny

Thanks Jorge for your input. This raises an issue: what are we paying extra for in a German car? When I was a kid, the word was 'sure, a Mercedes costs more - but it will last a lifetime.' Well, we now know that none of the German cars will last a lifetime; as for the Audi, it will last maybe 4 to 5 years - not a heck of a lot. Here in Western NY, there are lots of 10 year-old Cadillacs, Lincolns, Buicks, Nissans and Hondas, giving their owners trouble-free transport.

I bought this car in July and I have noticed some stuff that I think are unusual. First off, the clutch it's way too "smooth" which means that I have to be very careful when releasing the clutch especially on first gear and reverse if not the car would just die. Also, I can touch the acelerator pedal all the way down to the floor without any noticeable change of speed. Have any of you experienced this on your cars? The service department keeps saying the car meets all the specs, but when I asked the salesman to drive the car, the car just died on him because he released the clutch too fast. He told the service dept. that the car was not driving the same way the test drive car does and asked them to fix it (I had test driven another car which really impressed me. the car I got it's just in a different color. Didn't test drive thinking it would drive the same way). The service guy said they will not fix the car.

Please let me know if you have experienced the same. And also if you could tell me what my options are or what should I do. I'm not happy nor impressed with my car at all. Thanks.

Looking at a 2008 Audi A4 2.0 Quattro with the following specs:
Automatic
Nav w/ipod
Bose pkg
leather int
premium
convenience
bluetooth
heated front seats
MSRP is 38775. We're looking at a 36 mos lease with 3k down. We've been shopping a lot of dealers and they are all coming around $440-490 a month. I don't want to leave money on the table but I feel like there is more room to negotiate. Anyone seen a deal similar or better?

callum

HI there,
would appreciate your opinions on which to go for.
looking to buy a CPO A4, 2 options: 2006 2.0T quattro with premium package and cold weather package and 20,000 on the clock, or a 2007 2.0T quattro with 130 miles but base model no premium or cold weather package. the 2006 will work out $1000-2000 cheaper. I'm in boston - and am going to put a lot of miles on commuting, 25K each year. weighing up the more room on the 100,000 warranty versus the extra package. The cloth seats felt quite comfortable to me, and never had seated heats before so not sure if it means that much to me - and I should take the car that's got less miles and prob not been thrashed before.
what do you think?
thanks much

jlkil

kind of surprised the audi I looked at nearly 2 months ago was still on the lot. Struck a deal on it, dealer dropped to invoice pricing; gave me a bit more than wholesale on an 02 jetta with 140K miles and got audi care in deal. also got the 5yr/100,000 warranty. I want to get the rubber floor mats; parts dept was closed and they are usually ordered. Any idea on what these should be ($105 on audi site)?
Car is black on black with 6 speed manual, leather, bluetooth and ipod. Can't get the bluetooth to pair with my tmobile dash and my ipod has a USB interface, so I don't think it will work. As a storm was moving in, I opted out of clean up until a better day.
If you are in the market for an Audi, the dealers are really willing to work with you now. Great Christmas present .

bennyg111

I normally hate shopping for a car the whole experience sucks and I always feel pressured to to make a decision right then and now. Well with Jackson Audi in Hawaii there was none of that. I told them I was thinking about an A4 the salesman said he had one that just came out of the demo program. it was the 2.0T with tiptronic with almost every option under the sun I still dont know what all this car has. Well they gave me 23000 for my 2005 F105 lariat and then sold me the Audi for 23000 and it only has 5400 miles on it. Talk about a deal. When I decided it was the car for me I called the dealership and said I would take it and to get the paperwork ready. By the time I got there all the paperwork was drawn up and the car was detailed and fuel was topped off. It was the best buying experience I have ever had.

jyang

I went to dealership today and was offered the following price:
1. 07 2.0T FWD multitronic, prem and heated front seat for 27.5k with MSRP of 31.9k
2. 07 2.0T Quattro triptronic, prem and con. package for 33.5k with MSRP 36k.

What price I should shoot for? Thanks!

callum

I would go for the quattro first of all - it's amazing, the car sticks to the ground like nothing I've driven before even with sharp corners at medium speed. But.. I think you can get better prices. I paid $26,9 for 2007 quattro albeit without premium package - which I am not too worried about now, dealer loaner car with just 2K on clock. With the handling nothing else matters!

jyang

Thanks so much for your advice!

2008 A4 Quattro with automatic transmission, premium package, premium paint (Dolphin Gray), and heated seats. Paid total, on the road $34,800 (transferred tags, not new tags) at Len Stoler in Reisterstown, Maryland. With their internet special, we received a $125 Ruth's Chris Steakhouse gift certificate as well. Love the car--great fun on winding country roads. Especially when compared to the blah Toyota Camry we had before. Not sure if we could have squeezed out a couple of more bucks, but a couple of other dealers we called would not offer anything lower.

ltjbukem

all dealers i spoke to on the phone claimed not to know what the special editions were but then i did more digging and aparently this package includes heated front seats, 17" wheels, 12 months of sirius radio and leather seating surfaces. all for a bargain price of 1,050 extra on the msrp. but if you were to buy these separately it would cost you probably upwards of 1,500. is it any surprise these dealers are feigning ignorance on this special edition??

has anyone successfully ordered a special edition. is this a real-deal model that you can order from your dealer?

bryanseattle

If the 2009 A4 is going to start being delivered to US dealers in the late spring as apparently planned, Audi must be planning some sort of incentives or marketing support fairly soon to help get rid of the 2008's. Anybody have any info on when or how much that might be?

cleaner_guy

Hi All,

I love reading all the forums on edmunds and I occasionally post something. Well this time I need the help. My wife and I test drove an Audi A4 2.0t quattro tonight and we really like it. We are interested in quartz gray with black leather, premium package, convienince package, heated front seats and Bose/sat. radio. MSRP 37,100 and change. We would like to lease for 36 months and 18k year. Just curious if anyone can give us and idea of what we should pay. Thanks!!!!

ltjbukem

these are a lot of miles you want on the lease...the residual on 10k is .57; on 12k, it's 0.56. if we could extrapolate this, then 18k would be 0.53....

does carman know the money factor and residuals on such an unusual lease??

cleaner_guy

Thanks for the quick response! Carman? Help Please

Hello,

I'm planning to lease Leasing 2008 Audi A4 FWD CVT with S-Line sport and Titanium package options. Edmunds show MSRP $33,475, Invoice $31,186 and TMV $32,061 for Los Angeles area. How should I go about negotiating a monthly leasing rate? One way I can think of is using the lease price offered at Audi USA website for 2008 A4 Quatro Automatic with premium package and heated front seat ($359/month + $3,184 down payment with MSRP $34,375) ) and compare the MSRP and the TMV for that model and options, and then ask for a similar discount on the initial down payment for my model. So, I should ask for a total discount of ($34,375-$33,475) + ($33,475-$31,186) or $3,189 for same lease rate of $359/month. Does this leasing plan make sense for negotiation? What are my negotiation options if I want a higher yearly allowance of 12,000 miles instead of standard 10,000 miles?

BTW, Am I missing a lot by opting for FWD/CVT instead of Quatro/Automatic (I chose FWD primarily due to its slightly higher gas mileage rating)?

Thanks in advance!

I am looking to buy a 2008 A4 2.0T whose MSRP is listed at $33,550. It is a Quattro with little or no extras. What's a good price that I should expect to pay? I am in Charlotte, NC and there's only one Audi dealer here.

rascal99

I also bought at Audi of Charlotte. They were very laid back. I simply used Edmunds pricing and dropped the price a few hundred dollars lower and they accepted it. I would suggest trying to get them to throw the cost of the maintenence plan in with the car price to seal the deal. It is about $500 and seems to be worth the cost. BTW, I just had my 25K mile service and so far I haven't had a single issue with the car. And this dealership experience has been great. They give my a loaner car every scheduled service. I have a manual transmission and they gave me an automatic A4 loaner last time so I could see if I liked it. I never drove an A4 automatic before. I still prefer a manual and probably always will ;0)

sxg

Thanks. When you say you used Edmunds pricing and dropped the price by a few hundred, is that off the MSRP quoted by Audi of Charlotte? Doesn't sound like too much off the MSRP!

I am also a manual tranny guy and plan to driving manuals as long as they keep making them...

rascal99

No, I think I ended up paying about $700 over invoice. I just used the Edmunds TMV price as a guideline, which is apparently an average of what most people end up paying. If you can't get them as low as you want you may want to try to get them to throw the service contract into the deal. Some people have had some success with that. Keep us posted!

nygxdriver

I am looking to for a new car (already an Audi owner of a 2007 Q7) primarily to be a station car but I also want something which is fun to drive for the weekends. I have been looking at the Infiniti G35x and the BMW 328Xi in addition to the Audi A4 2.0 Quattro. My dealer called me today and said he had a new 2008 2.0T Quattro in Brilliant Red with Beige leather, Premium package,Heated Seats,Bluetooth, Ipod and Birch wood inlays. I figured the MSRP to be $35,525. the offer was 33K. I figure with the new 2009s supposed to be coming in I might be able to get a little more off. What do you guys think?

Thanks!

wly1

We paid $455 over invoice (2008 A4 Quattro, A/T, premium paint, heated seats, premium package), but we do have competition in our area, and we did negotiate with three dealers at the same time. We also received a $125 restaurant gift card for starting the deal on the internet. Worked out perfectly for our wedding anniversery dinner. Internet made the negotiations quick and easy.

nygxdriver

According to Edmunds the invoice is about 33,106 (i had to estimate it because for whatever reason they don't have the premium package listed as an option so i used $800 for the invoice price) so this deal is about 100 less then invoice. Have you seen the brilliant red? I havent seen it live yet so I'm worried i might not like it. I'm sure as we get closer to spring the deals will keep getting better as they are going to be getting the new A4s soon. I still am probably going to take this deal if i can get him to throw in Audi Care.

kmamadei

Looking to lease (36 mo, 12K mi) an A4 Avant 3.2 with convenience, bluetooth, and ipod. Have sent a starting price offer to two dealers for 39K. Anyone getting close to that these days? Also, carman, do you know the current money factor that audi is using in IL?

Thanks.

nygxdriver

Does anyone know what AFS current financing rates are for the A4 2.0T Quattro w/Auto tranny are? I have excellent credit and I am already leasing with AFS.

kmamadei

Hi, I just financed through AFS for the the A4 Avant 2.0 and got a money factor .00025.

Hi Car Man,

I noticed that the Audi Supplier program website was quietly updated to note that the program has been renewed to expire on Dec 31, 2008. This might be good news for me since I work for Motorola, a member of the program, and my current A4 lease will expire in two months. What kind of discount should I expect to receive on a fully optioned Titanium package A4 2.0T Q (manual)? I am fairly certain sure I would have to order it to get my desired options and color. (not sure if this is still possible)

I will be cross-shopping the TT 3.2. I assume that any supplier incentives would be about the same on a percentage basis for both models?

Thanks!
