Price out a 3 series BMW or a C class Mercedes and your in the same money.
You can buy a Quattro A4 for what Mercedes and BMW charge for their 2wd's.
thank you
But most of the guys there would say you're probably putting too much down on a car you don't own.
$359 per month 24-month lease
Down payment $1999
This is based on a MSRP of $33,170.00. I am looking at an car with MSRP of $35,170. The dealership is saying that the $2000 increase in MSRP implies an increase of $60 / month. Is this typical?
Any help will be appreciated.
I'm wondering what we should expect to pay over invoice for an A4, Black, 1.8/2.0? The TMV report says that in DFW people are paying full MSRP...?
Also, does anyone know what Audi's finance rates are right now? specifically for 60 months?
thank you.

It's $1999 down payment but the total due at lease inception is $3200-3300. Plus the monthly figures probably do not include taxes.
Now will individual dealers offer better terms than these or will they just stick to what Audi is doing?
If you can get the drive-off around $1500 and keep the monthly around the same after taxes and these cars have Premium, Auto and xenons, they'd get a sale from me.

0 Down. $500 a month x 36 Months 12k Miles Per Year, including low jack and paint protection. That is where we are when I left tonight, and they still have some room to move.
I want to get these guys down to $450 a month.. and 15k miles... think it is possible?
Has anybody else heard about the color choices (exterior/interior) on the 2006's?
BTW the local dealer here told me that they are scheduled to get their 2006's in next week.
Ebony has been added to the interior choices and can be ordered w/ the arctic white exterior on the 2006 A4.

I'm hoping to help my mom out who gets quotes from dealers that seem really high - i.e. over MSRP!
I'm in California and will go just about anywhere to score the right car at a decent price.
Is there a way to search dealer inventory through the internet??
A $2K increase in the selling price on the same MSRP car would imply a $60/mo. increase...
Just generally...

I lease an audi A4 avant and recently saw on edmunds that there is $1,000 owner loyalty cash available to owner/lessees.
Two questions:
I want to purchase a new 2005 A4 2.0 and would like to know if I could receive the cash. The dealer in Denver says no. Doesn't seem right.
How does edmunds get this incentive info and is there a way to get the info straight from the company. There is nothing on the audi website.
many thanks
Audi A4 2.0T Frontrak CVT with Premium and 17" wheels
MSRP: 32,020
Residual: 58%
Money Factor: 0.00135
Drive off: $1500
Term: 36 months
Miles: 10k/yr
Payment: $422.29/month which includes CA sales tax.
Claims this is the "very best" he could do and more equipment would mean higher payments. Not sure about the disposition fee at the end of the lease.
I'd guess this computes to about a $2000-2200 discount from MSRP, once you take into account acquisition fees and CA registration.. I assumed an 8.25% sales tax rate..
I don't follow pricing too much for A4s... If $2K off is a good deal, then I'd say the quote looks good.

It's a black A4 so no metallic paint. At audiusa.com, I get 31,870 as the MSRP.
A4 2.0 CVT $28,550
Premium Pkg $2,100
"17" wheels" $500
Destination $720
Total $31870
Well I don't absolutely love this car so the deal would have to blow me away. See if I can get more.
OK WHT, the only way to get xenons is to buy the lighting package at $1,425?
And you have to buy the Premium Package at $2100 in order to get the Lighting Package?
Ridiculous.
A4 2.0 CVT $28,550
Premium Pkg $2,100
"17" wheels" $500
Destination $720
Total $31870
Im in the DFW area, what is a good lease payment for the options I have listed?
Rich
MSRP: 35195
Selling: 34195
Cap cost: 36751 (including processing fee and tags and $2K of neg equity from trade)
Residual 53% (42 months at 12K per year)
Money Factor: .00092
Tax in Charlotte: 3%
Monthly Payment: $495
Due at signing: $0
Anyone think I can get the selling price even lower?
As you probably already know... the numbers add up.. And, you'll be in warranty the entire time, so no problems with the 42 months..
My local dealer is already advertising $1000 off MSRP on the brand-new A3.. so, I'd think you could do a little better on the A4..
$500 less saves you $12/mo... I'd try for that, at the least.. but, I wouldn't be upset with a payment of $495... A pretty decent deal, considering you are rolling in $2K of negative equity..

I may try the 2% over invoice route and see what reaction I get. If negative, I'll go for 3%, which is roughly a $1500 discount (your suggestion).
You're right - considering they are willing to roll in negative equity, it's a solid deal. I do think they can do a little better since sales have been a tad slow. I'll keep the board posted.
Thanks for the input,

Too, I tried to get the .00092 53% 42mnth 12K lease program mentioned in post 444 but the dealer said the best money factor available was 0.00135 for 36 months. Perhaps I’ll try again.
The 05.5's lease out a lot better than a new 06 will as well, so don't expect a dealer to give it way if he doesn't have to.
2005.5 A4 2.0 quattro silver w/black interior--premium, cold, light packages,
$575 acquisition fee
money factor of .00125 or 3%
their sticker: 36095
negotiated price so far: 35000
residual: 20935.10
36 months, 12,000/yr
no security deposit.
monthly payment: 441.93 plus tax.
Is this too high? I'm not really interested in the light package but the dealer says they don't have any cars with premium+cold w/o the light package. Not too many dealers in my area to choose from.
I'm guessing you are making some kind of down payment or cap cost reduction, because the payment is $460.61/mo., using your figures..
Unless we know the initial payment, and how it breaks down, it is impossible to know if they are being straight with you...
The price would seem average at best, though I'm not that familiar with what the A4 is selling for..

1st payment 482.15 (40.22 in tax!)
cap reducation (down payment) 1218.24
tax on cap reducation 110.86
documentation fee 35.00
DMV/Admin Fees 153.75
Thanks.
9.1% tax? Ouch.. That sounds like PA or WA....
I don't know if .00125 is the base money factor... but, if it is, the good thing about this lease is they aren't adding in a bunch of bogus fees, or jacking up acquisition fees, etc....
So, the only thing you really have to consider: Is $1100 off MSRP a good deal, or not? I don't follow prices enough to answer that for you..
On another note.. I know it feels good to keep your payment lower (like, under $500?), but there is really no point in making a cap cost reduction.. It is just an illusory savings.. It doesn't lower the total cost of the lease..
If it were me, I'd take out the $1218.24 + 110.86 tax.. dropping your due at signing to about $715... Of course, this will raise your payment to about $481/mo. + tax... About $525/mo. total..
If you can negotiate a lower price? Each $100 lower will save about $3/mo. on the payment..

I am looking to lease, probably for 36 months and I have great credit. Can anyone tell me about how much I should be thinking to put down? Is $3000 down and $350/month too much for this car? Can I get this car for something more like $299/ month?
Any information will help....this is my first lease!
I never liked leasing, especially putting money down. You are better off saving the money you would put down, and use it to pay the difference for the higher monthly payment. Also make sure you negotiate the price of the car before telling them you want to lease. Dealers often advertise low monthly payments, but in order to get the monthly payment so low, a lot of money needs to be put down. Not good strategy for a lease. Go with no money down (other than the essentials).
I'm looking at a 2006 A4, 2.0 T Quattro, 6 spd, Premium, Sunroof, sport suspension, MSRP 34,400, Invoice 32, 040, Paying 32,940. $900 over invoice seems pretty good to me. I plan on buying.
A good way to check the lease is to see what is would cost to buy, including the best interest rate you can find. See what the total payments are. Do the same for the lease. From most expert web sites, buying is ultimately cheaper, especially if you drive over 12,000 miles a year.
Im a first time audi buyer and am currently in negotiations with the dealer for an 2005 A4 2.0 T quattro. I wanted to find out if infact Audi is offering the Audi loyalty bonus on the A4s. My sister recently bought an A4 and I figured it might be worth a shot. Please reply if anyone has any ideas.
Also, I've heard that some companies offer new college graduate incentives. Does Audi offer any and what are the requirements?
thanks,
The question is whether or not those vehicles are worth the investment. Are there any major problems with these two cars? Does anyone considering them a money hole? I don't know the reliability on these cars, and being that I am in the Coast Guard there isn't alot to go around so reliability is a big concern of mine. Are they dependable/comparable to a camry or accord or is this the kind of car that has "it's fair share of problems?"
thanks for the help
This is even better news. I was looking to trade-in my 2004 A4 3.0 CVT for the 2005.5 model and I was being offered a 3-yr lease payment of about $530 including tax. I was turned off by the deal. The dealer now just informed that Audi just launched a owner loyalty program last week and the same cars is being offered to me at $410 including tax. This is true good to be true.
Has anyone heard of this loyalty program???
I just picked up a new A4 over the weekend and, after a few days, think the car is the bomb but I gotta tell you that I probably wouldn't buy a four year old A4... and you did mention reliability as a "big concern." For the price of a used A4 Avant you are in the ball park price range of a four-door Scion, Mazda 3 wagon and a bunch of other small, sporty wagon-like cars... but then perhaps you have a sense of adventure :P
Hey... best of luck to ya!

I'm almost ready to make a deal but I can't get any payment calculator to tie back to dealers payments. The difference in monthly payment is always around $100 bucks. Here's how I'm calculating the monthly payment:
MSPR: $41,570
Residual Value: $22,448 (54% - 15K 3-YR lease)
Purchase Price: $39,000
MF: .00072
Down: $5000
Audi Incentive: $1000
Term: 36 months
My payment figures:
Depreciation: $293
Finance: $40
Tax: $27
Total Payment: $361
Dealer Calculate Payment: $434
A difference of $73 per month. Am I calculating incorrectly or is the dealer trying to screw me???
1) The dealer has already factored the incentive into the purchase price..
2) What you are referring to as $5000 down, is really $5000 due at signing... If you take out 1st payment, security deposit and acquistion fee, then that lowers the downpayment part of it to around $3500...
That equals $2500 total.. Almost $70/mo.. That is pretty close to your difference... That might be it... or not... just guessing..
