Replying to: wco81 (Nov 13, 2005 3:46 pm) A4 Quattro 2.0, Manual, Sunroof, Premium, Technology Package, Sports Suspension MSRP $36360 Cap Cost $34630 Down (Cap reduction) $0 Fees, first Month etc, $1080 24 months 12k miles/year Payment $458.16 (includes taxes) Money Factor 0.00189 Residual 75% I think this is right, as you can see for whatever reason they were pretty aggressive on the discount, but wouldn't do the Audi Finance Buy Rate. I think this is what bugs me more than anything, I'd have rathered less of discount and the buy rate. In the end I don't think it's a bad deal, I think had the car been on the lot I might have been able to get it for $10 or $20 bucks a month less. Basically this is $1100 over invoice plus an extra $600 or so on the backend from the higher finance rate. This was at Stevens Creek Audi, San Jose. Recent posts on the lease forums suggest Carlsen, Palo Alto might be more aggressive. I did get the car out for a run in the mountains and it is simply a blast to drive. You can drive it much deeper into the hairpins than I ever would have dared in my 2003 A4. The extra power means you can really accelerate hard out of the turns, in some cases the tires will actually loosen up if you apply too much pedal. The 1.8 wouldn't do that. I'm also starting to appreciate the tuning of the exhaust, it's quite nice. Personally I don't find the Sport Suspension too harsh, but you do feel the road. As well, I give two thumbs up for the Icelink Plus Ipod adapter. It's too bad the Audi radio can't display ID tags. Jeff

Traded an E320 (Great car, but too, way too many issues. Could not go back to a Benz, but that is for another board)... Going the simpler route, it is my 1st lease. 2006, A4 2.0, Quattro, Sunroof, Leather seats, 17" Wheels, and heated seats. (Did not get the Premium Package). 400.00 A Month 1200.00 Outlay (Includes 1st month payment). 12,000 Miles a year 2 Year lease. Nice salesperson, deal and lunch done in 2 hours 45 minutes. (Expected $350.00 turn in fee).

Replying to: j0916 (Nov 13, 2005 2:36 pm) Thanks for that info that the money factor is set by the dealer, not AFS. So, the dealer can take the AFS number but does not have to. I did not know that important point and ... of course, the sales person did not mention that. He just said, I can't promise any lease rates now, as AFS may change them. Er, well, his statement was sort of accurate but was not full disclosure either. |

I am considering purchasing an A4 2.0T 2005.5 from the dealer (the last one on the lot). It has the following specs: Quattro Packages: Premium, sport, audio, lighting Options: Nav, headlight washers The lowest price I can get him to is $34K + T's. This is $5200 below MSRP. Does that seem like a reasonable price? Thanks...

Thanks for your honest opinion -- I am leaning toward the A4 2.0T 2005.5. This is the last one on the dealer's lot and has the following specs: Quattro Packages: Premium, sport, audio, lighting Options: Nav, headlight washers The lowest price I can get them to is $34K + T's. This is $5200 below MSRP. I don't know if you just deal with VW or also Audi but thought I would ask if this is a reasonable price anyway... Thanks...
