#998 of 1531 Re: What is REAL cost; invoice clearly inflated [09tlawd] by carsonotk Sep 22, 2008 (6:34 pm)
Replying to: 09tlawd (Sep 19, 2008 5:21 pm) This is an interesting question, ie. is the published invoice price real? Just bought a 2009 A4 sedan at about 5% over invoice, or $1000 less than sticker. The dealer told me that my invoice data was too low by $700 and confirmed this with the invoice for an identical car he had just sold (and which I had seen on the lot a few days before). So if the true figure is the edmunds.com invoice, I paid 5% over, and if it was the dealer's figure, I paid 3% over.   I have an unconfirmed suspicion that dealer invoice is inflated somehow. But one would think that Audi would risk a class action lawsuit and a reputation risk if they did that. Maybe they get by with publishing "estimated" invoice figures, that edmunds.com then publishes as actual invoice. The invoice does seem a little too close to MSRP for a premium vehicle like this.   Anyway, I hope the suspicions are unfounded, as I would like to believe this was a decent deal! Car arrives in mid-October from Germany. I probably won't care about a thousand or two once I get behind the wheel!

1) Audi doesn't "publish" the invoice price... It's a confidential document, meant only for their dealers.. So, I don't think there is any risk on their part, no matter what the numbers are.   2) Actual dealer invoices usually have some sort of regional advertising charge. That usually accounts for any discrepancy between what Edmunds states as the invoice, and what the dealer says..   There isn't a lot of room between MSRP and invoice on an Audi. Personally, I think that is just a way to keep the MSRP lower than the competition..   regards, kyfdx Replies to this message: carsonotk (Sep 23, 2008 5:07 pm) kyfdx (Sep 23, 2008 6:16 pm)

Replying to: kyfdx (Sep 23, 2008 4:58 pm) Good information to have kyfdx. But how does Edmunds calculate an invoice price if it is confidential? Replies to this message: kyfdx (Sep 23, 2008 6:16 pm)

Replying to: carsonotk (Sep 23, 2008 5:07 pm) Well... I'd guess there is someone that breaks that confidence..

Replying to: luvlee824 (Sep 08, 2008 10:38 am) My local dealer is trying to work out a deal on a 2009 A4 2.0 Dark Grey with nav 12k miles a year 36 month lease with 2k cash out the door.

#1006 of 1531 2009 A4 Fronttrak CVT? by soapdish616 Oct 05, 2008 (10:55 am)
Can someone give more details on the 2009 A4 CVT non-quattro car? I can't find it on Audi USA's configuration... any dealers out there who have such a car? Or when it's coming?   What's the difference in MPG, with the CVT?
#1007 of 1531 Re: 2009 A4 2.0 Premium Plus lease [dilbertic] by drjoed Oct 05, 2008 (1:07 pm)
Replying to: dilbertic (Oct 01, 2008 9:21 am) Maybe I am missing something here but what exactly is the deal? There is really no "trade in" that I am aware of with a lease car. The car belongs to Audi and you are simply "turning it in". I also have a 2007 A4 Quattro that I leased in Nov. of '06 and my lease is up next month. I have 19K miles and the car is in perfect condition. I will need to decide if I am going to turn it in or buy it and keep it for a few more years. I will have 2 years on the factory warranty and I could pick up the "certified" extended warranty to get 2 more years if I want. Does anyone have any opinions re: holding on to my A4 and also about the cost/value of the extended warranty?? My original salesman called me recently re: lease end options and mentioned that the dealer would "take back"my car and sell it to me with the certified warranty. He made it sound like this was a deal they were offering me but I also got a letter from Audi telling me that if I want to buy my car I can talk to them about financing and also they will finace in the extended warranty if I want.
