#51 of 1543 Extended warranty by awd2003 Jan 22, 2003 (12:20 pm)
What kind of warranty is available for a 2000 A4 1.8T quattro 5spd. with 36000. It just came off factory coverage with a good inspection report.
#52 of 1543 96 Audi A4 by dgreeney May 15, 2003 (12:22 pm)
My 96, which I purchased used at 36,000 three years ago, now has 105,000 miles on it. Local imported car repair shop says I need a new timimg belt plus a major tune up, cost around $1,300. Does this sound reasonable?
#53 of 1543 New Audi A4 purchase by sdradioguy Sep 27, 2003 (8:09 am)
Yesterday, I bought an A4 1.8T quattro 6sp. from Metro in San Diego for $32,000 + TTL. It has everything on it except for the Cold Package and OnStar. The price I paid was almost $1,200 under MSRP.   The salesman and I went back in forth for about an hour. The last $175 dollars is what ate up most of the time. The salesman pointed to the scarcity of 6sp. quattros, and how Audi will be very slow to get any more in the supply pipeline for the next 4 months or so. Anyone else care to confirm/deny this?   We also kept talking about the tripling of the registration fees, which kicks in October 1st, and who would be more affected by it -- me, because I'd have to pay an extra 500 to 600 dollars, or him, because sales might take a nosedive after the tax hike. I made it clear I was willing to wait up to another year to see if the tax hike would be rolled back. They acquiesed.   I highly recommend Metro. The people there seem honest, and they don't do what Miramar does -- tack on an extra $2,400 to their similarly equipped quattro 6 sp. just because they can. Miramar likes to point out that it has free loaners for routine service visits (whereas the others only provide shuttles). But I do not see that to be worth the difference.
#54 of 1543 Leasing program for A4? by cmubruin Oct 29, 2003 (10:49 pm)
In the past, has anyone seen any good leasing plans on the A4?   Earlier in August and September, Audi was leasing their 2003 A4s for $289 and $299 in California in order to clear out their inventory for the 2004s. Now I truly love the A4 and have been looking to acquire one for quite some time now, however I'm very apprehensive about its reliability in the long term. I've heard so many stories and would simply like to lease it so that it's under warranty during my "ownership" period. But the current lease rate is $3000 down and $380 or so for an A4 quattro. Does it get better later on in the year? Thanks!
#55 of 1543 ...plus.. by cmubruin Oct 29, 2003 (10:50 pm)
oh, and I meant that 2004 A4s were going for that $3000 down, $380/month lease price.
#56 of 1543 Audi lease by alyosha1 Oct 30, 2003 (10:07 am)
All of those leases you were talking about are BS, by manipulating your downpayment you can advertise it as 0 monthly payment, with 1800 down  In that respect lease with 3000 down actually means that you prepay about 80 bucks from you monthly payment upfront, menaing that you real monthly payment is about 460, not too hot, but not bad either. What you have to realize that Audi lease is generally a good deal, and here is how to think about it: If you can get your Audi A4 price to somewhere 1300-1500 under MSRP, the rest is just simple math and pretty much non negotiable, they give 0.00175 money factor for 36month, or 0.00185 for 48 months, residual values are the highest between any cars (artificially at that- cause Audi doesnt sell to rental fleets) somewhere about 62-63% for 36 months, a little less for 48. So all in all you can get A4 quattro with options for no money down (other than fees - about 500 in acq. fee, plus tags) for about 430 for 48 months.

I meant $0 monthly payment with 18000$ down, sorry about that/
#58 of 1543 by cmubruin Nov 02, 2003 (3:28 am)
Well, let me give you a comparison. BMW is currently having 3000 down, 289 for a 3 series. 48 months as well, however this is for a 2003. now, has anyone ever seen audi's go for this lease price in the past? and i dont' mean for 2003s, but in general, does audi ever go this low in Feb, March, Dec, June, whenever? i know you fudge with the numbers and can manipulate per month fees, but i'm really looking to see if audi a4s can be matched to BMWs similar numbers besides end-of-year clearance times
#59 of 1543 A4 3.0 or 1.8 by gene65 Nov 07, 2003 (8:36 am)
I am looking for A4. Should I buy a 1.8T or 3.0? How much more problems with 1.8T and quatro? Also the dealer told me that I have to buy a quatro since the resale on regular is not good. I don't think I will need the quatro in Chicago area. With ABS & traction control I can handle it easy. I also think not to have too much on it to save money. That a good deal in Chicago area is? Any suggestions?
