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

What do you think the price should be on the following A4 2.0 Cabriolet Quattro MSRP = $44,575 (includes 2.0 AWD cab, with prem pkg, bluetooth, heated front seats, ipod interface and dest. chg.) Edmunds Invoice Price for the above = $41,511 Dealer says will sell for invoice price (don't know if theirs is different from Edmunds yet and don't know if they plan to add on other charges other than tax, tags, reg.) In addition to selling for invoice, Audi will subtract another $2000 (conquest/loyalty) off the price if I lease -- (using the Edmund's invoice price, this brings the lease plus residual total to $39,511 plus tax tags, registration and any etcs.) Is this good? Any charges etc. I should be aware of? Is Audi offering to pay the first month's payment on this car? Does anyone know if the .00002 MF is available for this car? Is MF negotiable, or is this fixed by Audi Financial? Are dealers offering any special prices on Audi Care? Should I go for that? Other suggestions? Thanks in advance to those of you that offer advice. This site is great! |

2008 Audi A4 SE Quattro with Convenience Package, Rear Side Airbags, S-Line Package/Titanium Package, 6-speed, iPod interface, etc....MSRP 35625. How low will the dealer go on these cars, or do they all go for sticker or more? Does anyone have any guidance on this, or perhaps the residual value, and a money factor that is currently used for either a 36 or 39 month lease. I live in NYC if that matters. Thanks in advance!! |
