>Why don't you just order a car from the factory and wait 3 months to get it if your a payment shopper? you make an offer, you better are prepared to deliver on it, *especially* if you want to be a brand that stands out from the pack. luxury brands are designed to cater to expectations and if they create this specific one and don't follow through on their promises, they will inevitably ruin their reputation. you sell a car like this as a turn-on for repeat business. the argument you are making is that of someone no more than ten SAT points above grunting and bashing heads with yard sticks. that being said, I am doing my best after reading this thread to get outside financing before buying my a3 or a4 in the chicago area next month. anyone want to recommend a specific dealer?

Replying to: krautland (Jul 12, 2006 11:52 am) Audi is continuing to have record sales every year. So whatever they're doing, they don't need to worry about a few people who cry that they can't get the cheapest car on the lot. It's called marketing, and every industry advertises lower priced leader items to generate traffic. As an Audi dealership, you have to do what's best for your store. If you load down your lot with stripped A4's with no options, you'll end losing more business than you gain. You'll have cars for the low end customers who want the cheapest car, but your 75% +++ customer base who wants some luxury options on their car will go elsewhere to buy them. |

Stevens Creek Audi (audistevenscreek.com) advertised in the SJ Mercury an A4 auto FWD for $31988. MSRP is supposedly $35285. So I called and they said they're not using AFS, they're offering much lower price but using BankOne and maybe Bank of America with slightly higher interest rates (2.5% he claimed). But the options are CVT, Premium Package and Sunroof package. Well if you add these up, the MSRP comes to 33,000-33,500, not 35,285. So the salesman I was talking to either missed some options or the dealer is lying about the MSRP and making it seem like a bigger discount than it actually is. Are other Audi dealers using some third-party financing instead of using AFS, which seems to have good terms for the A4? |

| Currently I drive a BMW 330XI, however my lease is coming to an end and I was offered a GREAT deal to purchase a new 06 A4 2.0. I was going to just buy out my car (absolutley LOVE my current car-never had any problems), but it would mean I would have to finance for another 3 years. I could purchase the new A4 for $5k more but fianace for 5 yrs (plus lower payments). I feel I should take advantage of this great deal but worried about future problems/reliablity of A4. Reliablity is VERY important to me. I would appreciate any feedback/comments on experience with this car and suggestions about what I should do. Thanks! | |

What is the current deal for purchase? I've heard that there is $3000 manufaturer to dealer money. I'm assuming on an 06 you can probably get invoice - $3000. Is this correct? Somewhere around $5k off of MSRP. Does anyone know how long this promotion is going on or if it will change soon?

I'm still not exactly sure what the current rebates are for the a4. I was told by one dealer that audi is giving $2000 to the dealer for purchase of an a4 2.0t. This doesn't show up on the usual incentive lists because its a deal between audi NA and the dealers. That being said the dealer usually passes the savings on to the buyer. I was told by a different dealer that 06's could be bought for $4k under MSRP but he didn't quantify the actual rebate. I believe its either 2 or 3k from audi to the dealer that you should be entitled to receive. Most dealers here will easily quote between invoice and a couple hundred over invoice on remaining 06's without having to negotiate. I'd keep looking.

Replying to: jrummi (Aug 03, 2006 9:40 am) So no great discounts on the price of the car, unless the lease terms has increased a lot. Or maybe they don't discount as heavily on leases? How much would it cost to extend the warranty a couple of years? They still offer free maintenance on the 06 but won't on the 07, right? Also, there was talk of some more than cosmetic differences between 06 and 07 wasn't there?
