I recently have found Audi A4 for near $34,000. It's a 2005.5 thats very slightly used. It's everything I want: 2.0L Quattro Manual Sunroof Navi 34,000 seems kind of steep, but is it? TMV from Edmunds shows the high end of 2.0L quattro being around 29K. How much do you think I could get it down for especially when I finance through them. Any help would be appreciated.

I found an Audi's leasing deal from Edmunds: "$349 Monthly Payment Calculate Other Monthly Payments 36 Month Term $1299 Down Payment NA Security Deposit 10000 Annual Mileage Restrictions Lease based on the 2006 Audi A4 2.0T CVT Sedan with Frontrak and sunroof package. Comments $2223 due at signing. Dealer participation may vary. Incentives and Rebates are provided subject to the terms of our Visitor Agreement. Tax, tags and insurance are extra. " Here are a quote I got from a local dealer. Is it a good deal? 10,000 miles per year $1,299 cap reduction $2,658 total out of pocket $349 + tax = $378 per month Here's what the 2,658 coming from $1,299 down payment $575 lease aquisition fee $107 tax on down payment $299 registration fee $378 first months payment The relationship of $2658 and advertised $2223 "subtract $107, $299, and $29 ($378-$349) from $2,658 you get your $2,223." Does it make sense? |

Replying to: montanaaggie (Jun 12, 2006 7:29 pm) I JUST bought one for $32,000 and it had 5,600 miles on it. On top of that, I got 2.9% for 24 months. I'm pretty happy about this purchase! This is my 2nd A4 in my garage. My other is a 2001 base sedan 5-sp frontrac that has been an exceptional car for me. |

Looking at a 2.0 quattro auto...sunroof package with heated seats, upgraded alloys. Can't actually buy with just heated seats typically...need one of the packages. Anyway....2006, asking 32k, only 4,200 miles. Key is it is certified, which is 100k miles, bumper to bumper warranty. Told that warranty costs over $2,000 if purchased with new vehicle. Is $32,000 high, low, about right??? thanks!!

I was frustrated by an experience at a local dealer. The recent add was for an a4 2.0T quattro automatic with sunroof package for $369 (and was lowered to $349 apparently over the weekend). Anyone who has actually been to a dealership knows that this car doesn't exist on many lots, but they are more than happy to "put you in" one with more options, and a much higher profit margin. Frustrated with being told this at a local dealer, I called Audi USA to complain that the lease seems misleading since few dealerships are actually stocked with this model at this great price. I told them that to get the car they advertised, I'd been told I'd have to wait a few weeks to special order, or have to pay "transfer fees" to get the car from another dealership (this guy even went through a search in front of me to tell me the closest car to my state was on the other side of the country). Of course, he was pushing a model with a premium/cold weather/sunroof package that would raise the invoice and MSRP by a few thousand, and thus the lease rate would be higher. Using sites like this or Kelly Blue Book, it is easy to see that there is a price overlap between the model I just described, and the model in the ad special (in the small print the MSRP is 36,310). So I took a shot with the national customer service and told them I felt I was being baited in and switched to a higher end model of the A4. I told them that of course, I didn't mind the more equipped car, but why should I have to pay for it when no dealership has the model from he ad that I came in looking to buy on their lot. Furthermore, I told them that if the MSRP in the ad is 36,310, the more equipped car was actually selling for LESS than the advertised model (invoice with destination for a 2.0T quattro with sunroof/cold weather/premium starts at 32,993,with a TMV of 35,284 according to this site). The rep was very concerned that dealerships are running this ad without having the model in question available, so she took my information and asked me to pick a local dealership that she would put me in touch with. Within 10 minutes, I had a sales manager of a dealership in my area on the phone. When I asked her if she had the particular model in the ad on her lot, she said no, and she added that no one in the area or neighboring states did either. She then told me that she would lease me ANY a4 2.0T quattro with automatic transmission/sunroof/premium/cold weather (the most typically equipped model on the lot) for 379/mo for 36 mo/10k miles, or 382.02/mo for 36 mo/12k miles (both rates plus the $1299 down (which I have opted to roll into the total monthly rate and have no cap cost reduction). ANY CAR! Doing the math with the published "invoice rates" plus $1000 dealer profit, and using the money factor provided from the roadfly.com site, you know that I'd have to pay in the $420's on the depreciation part alone, before adding the interest factor or cap cost reduction. Needless to say I am happy. I am guessing that someone at Audi may have thrown the dealership a rebate on the car, or maybe using the term "bait and switch" struck a nerve (especially when this dealership indeed did not have the model in the ad) or maybe this manager wanted to get rid of stock before the ad special ended. Either way, this is how I got my deal. I have gotten a ton of advice from this column, so I wanted to give some back. I hope someone else can use this tactic to their advantage
