I am sorry but I did have my first 1983 Porsche 928S in 1983, and took delivery in late 1982 at seventeen. The MSRP was about $55k. It was the fastest production car in the US at the time at 146mph. My insurance was about $10.5k a year for the first year. So, I don't think of a car today at $150k or even $350k being expensive. If you do the math, I think my old 1983 928S would be a $400k+ car. So, maybe you shouldn't stick with the low-end German stuff. I have had only about 550 cars since 1985, mostly about 490 Euro imports between 1984-1990. So, I am quite aware of the expense and insurance costs of these cars. I guess I just don't get it. Unless you pay $250k or more, why bitch about the car. If it breaks down, purchase another one and move one. I mean a decent house in LA is about $5MM! And that's a poor person's house in LA terms. I guess what I am saying is just get up to speed on cost in this country. There is no longer a middle, or upper middle class. You are either poor, the last of the upper middle class, or rich and/or super-rich (being above $500MM or so). It's sad but someone voted Bush President! |

The residual on my lease contract is around $65k after 4 years. Why is that bad? Brian |

At the end of the model year the factory puts money on the cars so, then and only then, is it possible to discount 10g's and not lose money.

Replying to: jpvwaudi (Jan 12, 2007 1:11 pm) I love the tweeters popping up and stuff, but with XM, CD, etc., I was kind of disappointed with an option that retails for about $6300. I did get about $600 off that option. I just hope it all works out. I just went by a friend in a new Aston Vanquish S ($289k or so), he tried NOT to look but eventually did. The car is truly gorgeous. And again, I have every option, except the Solar Sunroof, which I think is a waste in CA or anywhere sunny, because it's doesn't charge a separate battery to run the actual compressor, just the fans. So it can barely cool the car in the sun. |

Car_Man I started my quest for a new car this week and had no intentions of buying an A8. Well needless to say, one look and I was hooked. The offer I have on the table is the following: A8 Short w/ premium, 19”, massage, Sirius MSRP - $77970 Invoice - $72574 (according to KBB) Offer - $73608 Residual – 44% (45% if I have them throw in the $599 maintenance program) Money Factor – 0.00145 Payment with 7.75% tax - $1322.79 I’m in So Cal and wanted to know if the Residual and MF sound right for my region thru Audi Financial. A couple of posts back you stated that they were 46% and 0.0013. I just want to be sure that they are not marking these up. Also, do you think that there is room for further negotiation? Thanks, Tim-in-Cali |
