#340 of 978 S4 - recent lease or purchase?? by rayainsw Mar 02, 2005 (6:22 am)
Has anyone purchased or leased a 2005 S4 recently?   I would expect that, with 2005.5 A4s arriving (I drove a 3.2 – not quite what I want, acceleration wise) and the 2005.5 S4 due soon, AoA would be helping dealers with remaining S4s. And dealers would be motivated to move them, if they have them. The S4 (Tip.) is on my short list – only 2 or 3 cars.   Any input would be appreciated.   Thanks, - Ray Looking for an acceleration “fix” every time I press the narrow pedal . . .
#342 of 978 A-4 Incentives by vwmon Mar 02, 2005 (1:52 pm)
I understand that the Audi incentives from Feb. have been extended to Mar. 4 and will be then reevaluated. Not many SE's are left though.
#343 of 978 New to Leasing by jstawski Mar 08, 2005 (1:46 pm)
I want to lease a 05.5 A4 2.0T with Navigation, Leather and nothing else. According to the "Build your Audi" feature in Audiusa.com, the Base MSRP is $28,550 and the Price as configured is $33,770. I live in Miami and the state tax is 6.5% I want a 36 month lease with 12k miles a year.   How much should I pay monthly for that car? How is the monthly payment calculated and what should I negotiate to make the monthly payment lower? Remember I'm going to lease the car and i'm probably not going to keep it so I'm only going to give the neccesary down payment (the sales manager told me it will be around $1,800).   Thank you in advance...

#344 of 978 VW Group by concrete1717 Mar 08, 2005 (8:15 pm)
BUSINESS WEEK, 14 MAR 2005: "Hot Audi"   "...the division [Audi] accounted for nearly 100% of VW Group's net earnings last year. In 2004 the average operating profit per car at Audi was $1,374, while Volkswagen brand cars, suffering from high costs, model mistakes, and an aging fleet, lost an average $13 per vehicle...".   ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ DER SPIEGEL (english site), 12 JUL 2004: "Turning up the Heat in Wolfsburg"   "Automobile industry: For the VW group, the whole basis of its business is crumbling away: Customers are no longer accepting the carmaker's high prices. A drastic programme of savings is intended to come to the rescue. The aim is for costs to be reduced by altogether three billion euros.".   ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
#345 of 978 Lease Tips by ctorrey Mar 08, 2005 (9:51 pm)
Replying to: jstawski (Mar 08, 2005 1:46 pm) 1. You need to know three numbers:   Capitalized Cost: The negotiated price of the car   Residual Value: Value of the vehicle at the end of the lease term (sometimes expressed in a percentage). This is set by the leasing company and cannot be negotiated.   Money Factor: The effective interest rate. Multiply by 2400 to get the equiv APR. This is typically set by the leasing company, but dealers sometimes build a little profit here.   2. Do not put anything down (aka cap cost reduction). I won't get into details, but there is risk making a cap cost reduction. You may have to pay a security deposit, acquistion fee, and first month's payment and that's OK.   3. Determine the length of lease (typically 36, 39, 42, and 48 months) and the number of miles (typically 10k or 15k per year).   4. Navigate to car_man's lease thread on edmunds.com, post a request with the above figures and vehicle information and he will layout the calculations.   Good Luck!

#347 of 978 Only Special Editions left of the 1.8 and 3.0 A4s? by wco81 Mar 14, 2005 (2:03 pm)
Is that the only inventory left?   Or are there cars with the old premium package or sports package with leather and so on?   On Carsdirect, they're only displaying the SE. Edmunds is displaying all the old configurations as well as the SE.   Do you option an SE with the PSE package or is that already included?
#348 of 978 Possible Purchase by twinrotts Mar 19, 2005 (5:04 pm)
Have my eye on 98 A4 1.8T Quatro with 76 K. Car has the Sports package and an aftermarket 10 CD changer, 5 spd auto/tip. Some body moldings need replacing plus a chip in windshield. Small rust spot on hood will require total hood repaint. Has not had the timing belt done yet. Drivers sideview is discolored and need replacing. Is this car worth $7700?

#349 of 978 Re: Possible Purchase [twinrotts] by mabubba Mar 20, 2005 (6:08 pm)
Replying to: twinrotts (Mar 19, 2005 5:04 pm) I am currently looking at a new vehicle and I have been offered 7500 for my trade, which is:   1999.5 Audi A4 2.8 Quattro w/80K. I believe it has the Sport package(how do I confirm this?) and it's an auto/tip. It's black/tan leather and the exterior/interior are is excellent condition.   If I sold mine privately I would ask 10k. So I guess 7700 for the 1.8T is a little high, but not too out of line. The reconditioning is going to cost you 1000-1500 though, making the deal only 800-1300 better than mine. Plus I have the v6 and its a year newer.   I don't know if that helps much, but I thought I'd share.   mabubba
