Replying to: thbell (Jun 25, 2009 5:15 am) No problem, thbell. I didn't realize that the dealer was giving you the $2,500 in addition to the $3,500 dealer discount. That makes this deal look a lot better. Still, I wouldn't be surprised if you were able to shave another $500 to $1,000 off of the selling price.

Hey guys, I just wanted to give everyone an update on my Audi experience in Virginia. I have a 2007 BMW 530xi coming off lease. Although I was happy with my car, I was looking to upgrade. I looked at an Audi A8L a few weeks ago. There was one in the showroom, with the B&O audio/Sport package, etc, for an MSRP of around 89,000, and we negotiated to around 84,500. The lease options were very unattractive with residuals of about 40%. The sales manager bascially said that some companies, i.e. BMW, create incentives that favor leasing vs Audi, which seems to encourage buying outright. I am aure I could have gotten more of a deal but I just found it hard to justify buying or leasing a car with that much depreciation. I finally settled on a BMW 550.
