Replying to: dino11 (May 17, 2006 2:24 am) 2006 Audi A4 FWD 2.0T with CVT Automatic Brilliant Black Ebony Leather 36 months - 12k per year OPTIONS: Premium Pkg Sunroof Pkg Tech Pkg Walnut Trim Walnut Steering Wheel/Shift Knob Rear Sun Shades Sport Suspension MSRP - $36,735 Invoice - $33,919 Negotiated Cap Cost - $34,032.18 ($113.18 over invoice) Down Pmt - $430.06 Net Cap Cost - $33,602.12 Residual 55% Money Factor .00038 (0.91%) Pre-Tax Pmt - $392.61 Tax (8.75%) - $ 32.39 Monthly Pmt - $425.00 I was also initially quoted the Advertising and Prep Handling fees of $495 but I quickly negotiated that out of the deal too. If I count those as legitimate charges I actually got the car for $381.82 UNDER invoice. Both the salesman and the finance manager mentioned that I was getting the car go below cost. The finance manager actually called the salesman to make sure the numbers were right -- though, it may have just been theatrics. Who knows. Regardless, Audi is really dealing aggressively on this car right now ... at least at the dealership I went to they were. You still have a couple weeks before the latest promotion is over. I suggest you move now if you are interested in this car. I don't know what information is appropriate to post here, but if you want details on the dealership and who to talk to just e-mail me. I'll be happy to set you up. It was the quickest, cleanest, most pain-free car transaction I've ever had. Everything was handled over the course of a few of e-mails, he e-mailed me a 1-page credit app then called me the next morning asking when I wanted to come pick the car up. I spent about 20 minutes test driving it before buying, 15 minutes signing papers, and 15 minutes going over the features with the salesman. We were in and out in about an hour. As I'm sure has been mentioned before, getting informed beforehand is the key. Know what you want, what its worth, and what you're willing to pay for it. E-mail YOUR TERMS to the dealership in a "take it or leave it" format. Get a good Excel leasing worksheet (or do what I did and make your own) and spell out everything down to the last penny. (you'll never match the dealer exactly, but you'll be within a few bucks that way). And when they try to switch you to something else, stand your ground and be prepared to walk away. The best part of having a good leasing worksheet is the ability to quickly recalculate payments on the fly to make sure that extra feature or new residual isn't being manipulated by the dealer to pad their profit. Dealers know that once most people make up their mind and are actually standing in the dealership investing time in the process, they usually won't balk if the price jumps a few extra hundred dollars. Don't fall for it. The car I got ended up being more than I initially wanted, but my complete reluctance to the additional options (tech pkg and wood steering wheel) allowed me to essentially force the dealer to give those options to me below cost just so he could sell me a car off his lot rather than trading with another dealer for a car. I have the highest praise for this dealership, and my salesman in particular. He was highly motivated to sell my my car, but I never once felt like he was trying to pull a fast one on me (that could be due to him being an honest salesman, or the fact that he simply knew I wouldn't fall for it anyway). All in all, we are definitely "extremely" satisfied. |

I think this is not a good deal, but I'm not sure. They had a quattro advertised for $349+tax $1900 due at sign in. I went in and wanted an A4 without quattro and they wanted $399+tax and $999 due at signin. Here are the specs of the car: A4 2.0T 8EC5EC FWD Sedan 4D (Manual) Premium, 17in, MoonRoof, and heated front seats. MSRP 32760 Invoice 30222 Price: 30900 what should I expect on a lease?

Replying to: KarenS (May 23, 2001 6:23 am) After leaving a deposit of $300 with Legend Audi, my wife and I opted to lease through Huntington Audi. When I returned to Legend a week later to claim my refund on the deposit, I was denied a refund! The manager was the one responsible for refusing to issue a refund. Through the entire ordeal he was rude and unprofessional. He resorted to name calling on the phone and exhibited terrible customer service. This led my wife and I to 1) contact my credit card company to freeze payment, 2) submit a formal complaint to Audi USA and 3) complaint to Better Business Bureau. My advice is to steer clear of the Legend Autorama dealership on Long Island. You'll will most likely get burned. Huntington Audi treated us wonderfully, we took delivery on our new A4 a couple of weeks ago and absolutely love the car! Huntington provided a great customer experience for us.

Replying to: dsinsocal1 (May 17, 2006 11:08 pm) I'm new at this and need some help on my first independent lease from my parents. I am looking at the A4 and I know there is a current promotion for 36 mo. for $349 a month but with all the hidden fees in advertised lease deals, I wasn't sure if it was a good one. I'm looking to do a 24 or 36 mo. lease on an Audi A4 2.0 CVT with automatic transmission. I do not need any other upgraded options (I assume that all Audi cars come with leather). I'd like to put as little down as possible up front- no more than $1000 (including fees) and I'd like the standard 12K miles per year. What do you think is the lowest monthly payment I could make per month without putting more than $1000 or $1500 down? I'm trying to keep the lease payments under $370 before tax. Also, what are the current MF and and residuals for CA? Any and all advice is greatly appreciated! Thank you, Ashley
