| My lease is up in July and I am thinking Audi A4. Do you think I can get a killer deal if the 09 model will be available in Sept? How much should I expect to pay below MSRP? I am thinking A4 Avant / AWD / Tip with options.. $38k. Thanks, | |

The 3 yr lease on my 05 A4 was schedule to be up in Feb 08. Since I no longer drive to work everyday I decided to lease a certified pre-owned 06 A4, which was a good deal vs. buying my 05 off lease. 0 down (expect taxes & fees) $285/month. In January, Tri State Audi's were running this special with very attractive lease rates on the 06's. My saleswoman (who had leased me my first A4) was very aggressive with the sale..calling twice a day for a week. Fine, used to that. Problem was, my old lease wasn't up until Feb 5, and it was only Jan 3rd. So, Riverside Audi agreed to make my last lease payment. I made the transaction and they agreed to make my last payment. After getting multiple calls from Audi/ VW Financial that I owed the payment, I called my saleswoman at least 4 times. She claimed the payment was "in the mail". Unreturned calls and emails to head of sales (new and pre-owned) - no response. Calls to Audi of America - they are nice, but in the end, I think has no influence on a private owned dealership. Riverside Audi saleswoman calls me back (finally) and says they never agreed to pay my last payment. WHAT?!? My fault I didn’t get it in writing, but seriously, you are making that claim? Audi of America called and was actually shocked too. Fast forward to April – they just made the payment, but there is now a late payment on my credit report for it. Riverside Audi is a very pushy, make the sale, then don’t care to maintain relationship type of atmosphere. Their service dept happens to be top notch, in my experience. Prior to my first Audi I had 3 Acuras… much different sales relationship and experience. |

| Could you post that on "Dealership ratings and reviews" too? It would be nice to give other folks a warning. Thanks for posting. | |

Cars.com lists a bunch of incentives for A4, including up to $2000 cash back on the A4 3.2. However, I cannot find any incentives listed on Edmunds, KBB or any other car websites. Does anyone know if cars.com is reliable and has anyone taken advantage of the offers? |

I've been doing research online -- thinking about an Audi A4 AWD or a BMW 3 series convertible. Have been working hard and driving a beat up old hand-me-down car -- and decided it's time to break open the wallet and have a little fun! However, after reading the online discussions, it seems like ALL the Audi and BMW service departments in my area are pretty crumby (service not done right, cars taken for joy rides, dealerships not accountable). What's the deal? If this stuff turns out to be true, it would sure take the joy out of the ride. For those of you driving Audis in the D.C./MD/VA area -- do you have any good stories? (BTW -- my Toyota dealership has not been honest or good to deal with either -- but that's another story). None of the dealerships post their entire new car inventories on their sites. Is there an easy way to check out each dealer's current inventory without calling or visiting each one? Any suggestions about how to not get taken for a ride on a resale? I'd be happy with a car with a few miles on it -- but am afraid of buying someone else's problems. A mechanic told me beware of CPOs -- that the only warranty that the CPO paperwork provides is a guarantee that the car is not new!! Any thoughts? |

Replying to: augustus12345 (Jun 02, 2008 3:23 pm) I guess it depends on your local market, but those quotes seem quite high. I just leased a 2008 A4 2.0 T CVT Special Edition (Black on Black Leather) last Sunday 5/25 from Audi West Covina. Keep in mind that this is for the CVT transmission, which has an MSRP of $975 less than the Quattro manual you are looking at. Here are the particulars: MSRP: 32,075 (including destination and iPod interface) Selling price: 29,175 Adjusted cap: 30,400 ($650 Audi Care and $575 Acquisition Fee rolled in) Residual Value: 16,999.75 (53% w/ Audi Care) MF: 0.00002 36 months / 45,000 miles Monthly payment: $373.18 + tax Due at signing: $0 This was a true sign-and-drive lease, as I did not pay anything at inception. Audi even covered the 1st payment under the current lease special on the SE models. So, I just have to make the remaining 35 payments of $373.18 + tax. If you are looking to lease, make sure that you negotiate the purchase price instead of getting quotes on monthly payments and amount due at signing. When you negotiate a lease this way, you typically don't end up with favorable terms. The lease specials on the A4 SE are insanely good right now... use this to your advantage. Best of luck! --Jordan
