#890 of 955 Re: 08 A4 sedan [panxd01] by jlkil Oct 26, 2007 (9:08 pm)
Replying to: panxd01 (Oct 06, 2007 8:38 pm) I just looked at an A4 that was priced ~$32k including the 995 dealer paint and fabric protector. Dealer didn't budge much, I am talking to another dealer that seems more willing to deal, but they are in a much larger city. Just a ballpark figure was a LOT less.

Replying to: supernatural1 (Oct 31, 2007 7:54 am) Sounds like a great deal...do you have specifics? Dealer location? Also, if you could email me the name of the salesperson that would be great...
#893 of 955 Audi Auto Care Plan by theresa11 Nov 09, 2007 (10:04 am)
Now that Audi do not offer free maintenance with a new purchase, does anyone have any comments about the Audi Care program that is currently being offered? I gives you 4ys/50K miles for $590.   Thanks for input.   Teresa Replies to this message: vinnyny (Nov 10, 2007 7:34 am)

Replying to: theresa11 (Nov 09, 2007 10:04 am) I've owned two Audis in the past. I loved both cars, especially the TT Roadster, but I wouldn't have owned either of them without the Audi warranty and maintenance plan. Why? As much fun as they were, they spent lots of time in the shop and the mechanics' bill ran in the thousands. Even an oil change cost twice that of a Honda.
#895 of 955 Audi A4 - lease ja, buy nein ? by mark_wny Nov 12, 2007 (9:04 pm)
I recently visited an Audi dealer and asked, 'what proportion of the cars are leased vs. sold?' I was stunned when the salesman replied, 'about 90% are lease deals.' I have noticed that all the 'special offers' on the Audi website are leases. On the A4 Reliability forum, the consensus seems to be that the cars are wonderful up to about 50K miles, but then are finished.   To a non-Audiphile, this raise a question: can a car that is functional for only 50K miles (half the lifetime of a regular car) really be a valid prospect in any market?

Replying to: mark_wny (Nov 12, 2007 9:04 pm) Mark, I'll share with you my experience which it touches a good point you mentioned. I leased my A4 1.8 on January 2005 (39 months Lease, 50K warranty and scheduled maintance included up to 50k) My lease allowed me 15k miles per year. Since I have a work horse (1994 celica) which I use it together with the Audi, I thought that I would never used my mileage this early, but because I had to lend my beloved Celica to a family member for almost 5 months, that made me go over the mileage. I right now have 53k in the Audi and I still have 5 more months until the lease is over....and guess what? since I have the celica back, the A4 sits in my garage as I am scared to death to drive it because the warranty expired.   I can share the same feeling of some people in this forum, nice car to drive and "own" during the lease/warranty period, but it does make you feel uneasy after the warranty period expires. Of course I feel this way due to 5 unscheduled trips to the dealer to fix a: vacuum system problem, replacing the gas tank, three trips for the engine light "on" and another for loss of power in the middle of the Lincoln Tunnel. Other than that it is a magnificent car to drive, and that that I only have the anemic 1.8L.   You know what, it is almost like being in an abusive relationship, you know you are going to get hurt, but boy what a fun car to drive Audis are. I am even comtemplating in leasing (this time I will not lend my other car and I will only lease it for 36 months-I learned my lesson) the B8 when it comes out..........I know I know......hey I've told you gang, it is indeed a Masochist relationship Replies to this message: mark_wny (Nov 16, 2007 11:14 am)

Replying to: rjorge3 (Nov 14, 2007 9:46 pm) Thanks Jorge for your input. This raises an issue: what are we paying extra for in a German car? When I was a kid, the word was 'sure, a Mercedes costs more - but it will last a lifetime.' Well, we now know that none of the German cars will last a lifetime; as for the Audi, it will last maybe 4 to 5 years - not a heck of a lot. Here in Western NY, there are lots of 10 year-old Cadillacs, Lincolns, Buicks, Nissans and Hondas, giving their owners trouble-free transport.
#898 of 955 07A4 Quattro 6M by zmp Nov 16, 2007 (11:34 am)
I bought this car in July and I have noticed some stuff that I think are unusual. First off, the clutch it's way too "smooth" which means that I have to be very careful when releasing the clutch especially on first gear and reverse if not the car would just die. Also, I can touch the acelerator pedal all the way down to the floor without any noticeable change of speed. Have any of you experienced this on your cars? The service department keeps saying the car meets all the specs, but when I asked the salesman to drive the car, the car just died on him because he released the clutch too fast. He told the service dept. that the car was not driving the same way the test drive car does and asked them to fix it (I had test driven another car which really impressed me. the car I got it's just in a different color. Didn't test drive thinking it would drive the same way). The service guy said they will not fix the car.   Please let me know if you have experienced the same. And also if you could tell me what my options are or what should I do. I'm not happy nor impressed with my car at all. Thanks.
#899 of 955 Good deal? by djsf Nov 18, 2007 (9:59 pm)
Looking at a 2008 Audi A4 2.0 Quattro with the following specs: Automatic Nav w/ipod Bose pkg leather int premium convenience bluetooth heated front seats MSRP is 38775. We're looking at a 36 mos lease with 3k down. We've been shopping a lot of dealers and they are all coming around $440-490 a month. I don't want to leave money on the table but I feel like there is more room to negotiate. Anyone seen a deal similar or better?
