Hello- Great tips on this forum. Thanks for all your help. Wanted to run this by you before I make the lease plunge. Does this seem like a good deal on a lease? Black A3, with navigation plus, open sky, premium package, convenience package, bi-xenon headlights, and bluetooth. Msrp is 35,320 your price is 33,769 (cap cost) 12k miles acquisition fee is 575 tire fee is 8.75 doc fee is 45.00 money factor is .00035 residual value is 49% drive offs (including acquistion fee, 1st payment, and lic./registration ) is 1457.36 monthly payment is 475.94 plus tax or 515.21 total (unless you put more money down) Also, what is the difference between pvez engine and s-lines? I'm not a big car person, so any general pros/ cons would be helpful. thank you for your help in advance

Replying to: hopalina (Jun 11, 2008 5:56 pm) There's also the 3.2 S-Line model, which is a different engine with a different set of features, including the features in the S-Line package on the 2.0T model + quattro + a larger engine + a couple other goodies which are available as options on the 2.0T model. Generally speaking, people that get the A3 3.2 are purchasing it for Audi's quattro, because otherwise the costs don't outweigh the benefits. The 3.2 doesn't get the same fuel economy as the 2.0T model, and doesn't give you as much of a performance boost as you'd expect given the larger engine. Also, it is only available with the automatic DSG transmission. So unless you're an audi-phile passionate about quattro, the 2.0 (PZEV or not) is probably sufficient to meet all your needs.

Hi guys, Do you know what the current residual and money factor values are for leasing a A3 2.0T (manual) in Massachussetts (12K per year, 36 months), without waiving security deposit? I also wonder whether it makes sense to wait until August-September (my current lease expires at the end of September, but they are offering me a good deal on early termination because the mileage is very low). Does Audi run good incentives during that period usually? Thanks a lot, Max |

I just picked up a 2006 Lava Pearl Grey Certified pre-owned 2.0T (6-speed manual) on Friday with 36,275 miles on it for $23,450. Sports package Xenon headlights Leather Open Sky System Sport Suspension It was difficult to find one here in CT. I am okay with the price, but I traded in my 2003 530i which was underwater on the loan so I rolled the shortfall into the A3. After driving a 3-Series then a 5-Series the last 4 years I wanted something smaller, and after a lot of research I decided on the A3. I love the way it drives. The engine is fantastic. The low end torque is very impressive. My wife had 2 A4's from 1998 to 2001 so I am familiar with the brand. I think they make great cars, and with the price of gas around $4.50 a gallon for premium here in CT I am going to be happy with improved gas mileage over the BMW. I am a big hatchback fan and I was very disappointed that BMW did not bring a 1-Series hatch over here. I don't see myself returning to a BMW (which I love) unless they bring over a diesel hatchback. I would love to see Audi put a TDI engine in the A3 over here in the US, but for the next few years I am very happy with what I will be driving. Larry |

It seems that the prices on leftover 2008s are getting pretty serious... New 2008 A3 - Ocean Blue 2.0T FWD Automatic Premium Pkg Open Sky Convenience Pkg Heated Seats iPod Bluetooth BOSE/Sirius satellite MSRP = $34070 1st Offer from Dealer: $31600 (Claimed as "$500 below Invoice"; Edmunds lists Invoice at $31,739 ) 2nd Offer from dealer: $29,750. Expect to pick it up tmorrow. Onto some other factors.... Also asked about adding a 3M "Invisible Bra"; dealer claimed MSRP of $995, but would discount to $795 - - no thanks. The DIY kit is $150, so that's asking more than $600 for the 2-3 hours of labor. There's a local guy that does it for the dealerships that asks only $450; will probably it with him next week. Something that is a good deal is Audi financing: if you qualify (credit score over 740), its 2.9% interest for up to 72 months. Since we can earn 4% on a 7-month CD (and rates are likely to continue to go up), its worth taking advantage of. -hh |
