Maybe I should just supercharge my S4 and save some cash. The cars look almost the same. What do you all think?
Any idea what price should i get paying for a demo? He's quoted $60k on the new one. I want to offer $56k for the demo one but i dont know what's reasonable.
in stock. i love the color, interior, and oversized
dual exhaust. what i don't like is the vents in the
rear quarter panel and the pain in the [non-permissible content removed] to clean
rims!!
matty...i'm still crossing my fingers that there
will be some nice discounts on the 06's earlier than
the fall. right now i drive an 05 A8. my lease expires
in december. i'm guessing the A8 and A4 will see some
horsepower increases with the 07 model year. plus the S8 and S6 will be available in the fall also. if i could i would own an S4, S8, and A8!!! but heck you can only
drive one at a time!!
If the lease on your A8 expires in December, that will be a perfect time for you to get an '06 on closeout. Personally, if you like the 6 and 8 series' I would check out an S6. The V10 Lambo engine is going to be sweet and the car will be available for delivery by then.
I also don't think it's worth it to sell your new S4 for an RS4. Also, if you buy the RS4, I can see you'll be angry at yourself for not waiting for the RS6.
I myself have an '05 S4 Cabriolet (tiptronic), and it annoys me very much that Audi isn't bringing the RS4 Cabriolet to America. If the new '09 S5 Cabriolet is out, or even the RS5, by the time I get a new car, I'll definitely get one of those.
It's good enough to say "I have 440hp."
For the record, I've found a 6MT at a local dealer that I instantly liked. I'm getting a great deal on it and it's an 06. Paying invoice for it. I'm going to be picking it up in a couple of days and I'm totally psyched.
My sales guy was very cool and allowed me to thoroughly test drive two different S4s back-to-back, one Tip and the other MT. I took them both home over the weekend. I concluded the manual tranny is the best way to go!
My B7 has about 9K miles so far. The only problem I have experienced happened one time when I was slowing down for a red light. I put the car in neutral at about 60mph and while I was coasting to a stop the engine stalled. When I noticed what happened I turned it over and the car started immediatly. No big deal, it only happened once, though I may have the idle increased a hair when I take the car in for it's 15K.

The best part is that this is tax free, so no state taxes on it. Though I still have to pay the gas guzzlers tax. Will take 3 months to build, but I can't wait to drive on the Autobaun! :shades:
as a female I need to ask your advice...just buying a new S4 and got an offer $3000 below MSRP and lojack at no charge. Should I get more down? I just started to do the whole thing via internet and I think that is a good start...
Sale Price :51,586
Cost : 49,586 + 2000 markup
Total Cap Cost:53,723 (2,137 taxes)
Security Deposits :$5,400
57% residual
(Total residual: $29,537 @ 36 months)
15K per year
24 months: $1027 per month
36 months: $862 per month
Is this a good deal or is the dealer working me over?
Thanks!

Dealer wanted $52K I offered $49K...they accepted. In hindsight, know they would have gone lower...damn! All that said, love this car...best all around car (power, luxury, fun to drive) I've owned
Again, it wasn't the speed that so impressed me about this car, it's the fact that it corners on a dime!!! :shades:
BTW...I decided on the 07 S4. More exclusive (just don't see that many compared to the BMW 3 series), all-wheel drive, a sweet sounding V8 and a look that really appeals to me.
Bottom line...no one can make the call for you; you need to buy the car that speaks to you.
Thank you so much.
I'm considering purchasing this 25th anniversary S4:
link title
I drove it today, and it's pretty sweet. However it's got a black roof. EVERY other pic I've seen on the 'net of the 25th anniversary cars shows the roof body-coloured.
The Carfax is clean, so I'm curious if Audi changed the roof colour during the limited production run, or if the original owner must have painted it?
Details on how this works from the agent are:
I spec the car I want, colors, extras, and such, the agent sends me the list of cars at the next auction, I tell the agent what I want, the agent attends the action, inspects the car(s), calls me and discusses the car while he(the agent) is standing beside it. The agent and I decided if the car is what I want, if so the agent bids up to my max $, if my bid wins, the agent buys the car with the agents money (not mine) then has the car inspected by a shop. The agent and I meet so I can buy the car from the agent. If I do not like the car for whatever reason I am not bound to buy it from the agent and am only out my travel expenses.
Anyone had any experiences with agents?
I'm curious about the current money factor for the RS4 sedan (12K miles, 36 months). Any other useful info on residuals, incentives, and how much I can expect to pay at, under, or over invoice would also be greatly appreciated!
Also, how easy is it to break a current lease with Audi (an A4) to start a new lease on the RS4?
Thanks!
I used an agent - mainly does fleet but will source one-off new or used cars, to recently buy a replacement for my 02 Forester with an 09 (great vehicle, btw) and he was the negotiator for terms - paid for by someone else. It was a good experience even tho i did most of the leg work to get to my asking price - he had the tough conversation on price and trade-in (unless it really is a conspiracy and he's in cahoots with the dealer!). i drove it and picked it up - all very friendly.
I'm considering using him to source a below-market 07 S4. Any futher thoughts?
:confuse:
Specs: '04 S4 with 28K miles ( silver color, manual transmission, bose, nav, seat warmers etc).
Asking price is $14,000. This is a good friend of mine and I know this car well, driven it several times, no known problems except for some light scratches on the bumpers). Is this a good price or should I be wasting my time shopping around dealerships? Basically in the market for a used sport compact.
2nd allocated 2010 S4 to arrive ~September 2009
I can configure the car however I choose when the order guide becomes availble
I will pay 3% above dealer invoice as well as the $399 "dealer service" fee, tax, tag, title
Audi Care will be included in the above price
Has anyone else committed to a 2010 S4? What was your experience?
3% above invoice means that you'll be paying roughly $1500 above invoice. I looked at last years S4 and it seems that on average people were paying $1000 above invoice.
Considering this is a new model and a pre-order, sounds like you got a pretty good deal. How much haggling did you have to do to get this? Any other details because I think I'm going to call up my dealership and try to get this deal too. Was just wondering if you had any other advice. Also did they mention how they were going to price options? Thanks.
