My finance document clearly states the following:
 
"Prepayment. If you pay off all your debt early, you will not have to pay a penalty."
 
I wasn't told by the dealer either that I could not pay off the balance earlier. Not that I asked, but in the end only the signed contract counts.

Thank you for all the information. I will try to find out. I am also planning to not put a down payment.

Audi AFS payments - Last date? by krish9

Hi guys,
 
Does anyone know what is the last date of the AFS payments? I know that the Audi summer even ends July 6, 2009 but one of the dealers I talked to said that the AFS ends June 30 and the apr's end on July 6. Any info?

To my understanding, I think the AFS payments end on July 6. Apr is usually changed the one that changes monthly. I could be wrong though.

Finally did it :) - A4 2.0T Q Prestige by krish9

I finally purchased an A4 2.0T Quattro with Prestige and Nav (in California) - ice silver metallic, black interior. Price was 39.5K before the taxes, AFS 2 payments, and the audi care package. Taxes were around 4K+ and the audi care was 740.
 
I want to warn you that the dealer tried to give me the loan 1% higher (2.9%) than what AFS is offering. I noticed that (at that point all the number start to look the same) and pointed it out to him. He said that's what Audi is offering. When I said that I know about AFS offers right now and made some noise, he said that he will put in 1.9%. After that I got the deal done. Be alert guys!
 
Loving every minute in the new car! I felt that it was a good deal. Any comments?

We also got stuck with a higher-than-promotion interest rate at 4.9% but that was one of the concessions we made to get exactly the car we want at exactly the time we needed it. Besides, we will probably just pay the car off immediately after the two free payments. The money isn't doing us much good in the stock market.
 
As I repeatedly told my wife, getting the right car was more important than getting a huge discount. We keep our cars for 10-15 years, so saving a few thousand bucks isn't the most important part of the deal. We are ecstatic over our (her) new A4 Quattro. Made us wish the 8 hour drive to the wine country took even longer, and the dogs had tons of room in back with the rear seats folded down.
 
(Funny, but little things, like a huge rear seat pass-through make a more significant difference in our lives than do more obvious things like two-zone climate control or a back-up camera.) Anyway, I'm glad we spent a long time looking for the car that she is going to love for years and years. She has already said that she'd be ready to give her car to me if we had bought the Acura TL or the Lexis i300. It might be a while before she offers this car to me.)
 
I was loving the transmission on the way here. On the highway, it shifts smoothly with no attention needed. On the mountain roads, the Tiptronic makes it as fun to drive as a sports car.
 
The only problem is the smoothness/180mph-speedometer combination. A couple of times I thought that all surrounding traffic was going slow only to look down and realize that we were going 90. I'm going to have to do some research on speeding tickets and see when it's worthwhile to risk it.

I think you got a great deal. I got my Prestige for 38.5 K w/o navigation.

Congratulations to you and your wife. The reason I mentioned the interest rate is because that is what the dealer tries to do ie get you to sign the loan at a higher interest rate. I was ready to walk out though if I didn't get what I wanted.
 
Have fun with your new car!

I had the same issue with dealer financing. They casually tried to slip in the "we had you down for 2.9%" just before signing. They backed down quickly when I said no, but there were a number of instances of them trying to sweeten the deal at the end. Ended up with a prem plus w/wood trim for 34.4. I think I did ok, but I'm sure there was some room in that price. Probably could have taken another good chunk if I was willing to play the game a little more.
