Thanks Car_Man,
The dealer gave me his sticker price as his price. But, as of yesterday, I have decided to buy a BMW instead. Thanks so much for your reply.

CarMan:
Could you give me your opinion on what a good price would be for this A8?
It is a short wheelbase Audit quattro at6 black on black. It has the premium and sport packages - 4k and 2.8k respectively along with alcantara package 1.5k, front seat ventilation 1.5k, dual pane windows $600, and sirrus sat $550. Base msrp is 68,130k and 79,800k with the options.
I want to lease the car thru Audi's program for 3 years and 45k miles (15 per year). (I am assuming the money factor is .00160 and the residual is 55%.)
My question is: what is a good price for the car? I have offered 71k and they have countered with 76k indicating that they will not go lower.
So what do you think?
Many thanx for your help.

How do I find out what the money factor and residual value from Audi Financial Services are? I called the Audi 800 number and was transferred six times to people who all refused to disclose the information, asying I could only get it from my dealer

Just ordered my A8 but because it wont arrive until Feb I cant get any price protection beyond the end of the year. Do you expect any changes or incentives at year end or in 1st quarter??

Hi slhewitt53. I would be happy to estimate what this car's lease payment should be like for you. However, in order for me to do so I also need you to provide me with its full MSRP (with the destination charge added in).
Check out the following article that is available here at Edmunds.com to get an idea of how lease payments are calculated: Calculate Your Own Lease Payment.

No problem, Lefty3. I think that you made a wise decision. You shouldn't have to pay full MSRP for an Audi right now.

Hi slhewitt53. I am not personally all that familiar with what the market is like for this car in your area right now. I suspect that the $71,000 that you offered is too low. This car has a spread of around $4,400 between its full MSRP and dealer invoice price. The price that you offered is several thousand dollars below invoice. The price that they countered with, $71,000, looks to be less than $1,000 over invoice. That sounds like a very reasonable price for this car to me.
As far as the lease program for this model goes, the numbers that you mentioned are right in line with Audi Financial Services' current program for it.

Hi jdma8l. Audi Financial Services will not provide information on vehicles' current lease programs to consumers. In fact, I am not aware of any source that provides accurate information on manufacturers' current lease programs to the general public. I should be able to give you an idea of what the lease program is currently like on the vehicle that you are interested in though if you tell me the exact model that you want, how long you want to lease it for, and how many miles per year you need to be able to drive it.

Hello smittyj. I absolutely expect Audi's lease program on this car to be different early next year than it is right now. It is difficult to say whether that change will be for better or for worse though. Some manufacturers, like BMW, allow consumers to lock in their current lease programs on ordered vehicles. I don't believe that Audi does this, but you may want to ask your dealer just to make certain.
