It looks like there was a $1500 cash incentive in place in February. Does anyone know if it is still available, or if not, whether there are any replacements? Thanks.

The German cars are very expensive to manufacture and bring over here. Audi is one of the few companies still building all their cars over in Ingolstat. BMW and Mercedes are building cars in Alabama and South Carolina and still charging top dollar. Audi is crushing Mercedes on reliability. The current A6 is rated as one of the safest cars on the road today in any class. The E class, M35/45, 5 series are not double best picks by the IIHS. They're fine cars, but the build quailty and safety on the A6 are above reproach. Many Audi's are still priced below what BMW and MB are charging MSRP wise, so there is still a lot of value there, although they are getting more expensive every year. The US dollar is at an all time low and worth 1/2 as much as the Euro. Audi is making far more money keeping their cars in Europe. |

So with a good deal from your dealer, I doubt an A6 like you want it will cost you $200/month more on a lease payment than the M35. Add 40-50/mo to your Infinti lease payment as an average for service. It'll probaly cost you $1500 in oil changes, tune-up, filters, etc to keep an M35 running for 50k miles. Infinity makes a nice car, so I'm not saying it's not a good car. Most 50k cars are well built and there's plenty of good choices in this market segment. I'm personally not a fan of Infiniti's "ATM machine" style dash layout. I'm on my second A6 (Have a 2008 4.2 Sline), and I really like the MMI system in Audi's new cars.

Replying to: donnymac (Mar 10, 2008 1:19 pm)  higher speeds. It's a lot easier to navigate and get into a parking space in an Audi because of the servotronic. Older BMW's can be so heavy at times it almost feels like your driving a car w/o power steering. I'll admit that Audi's 3.2 A6 is underpowered for the maket and needs more juice. 09 models are going to get the valvelift technology and 10 more hp to 265 from what I here. But it still needs a little more. Aud's new 2009 A4 coming in the fall is growing by a whopping 6 inches in the wheelbase, and will bring the car very close to the current A6. If the 09 A4 is so close in size to the A6 and can be had for 40-45k, it's should be a heck of a value and something to consider. |

Here's the deal. I normally purchase, and do not lease. But I have a unique problem. I just brought in my 2002 Audi A6 due to intermitent engine light. Found out I need a completely new engine / rebuild. Cost is insane. I asked if they would be willing to take the car and lease me a new one. Ignoring the insanity of a car dying at 65k miles even after all maintenance done at the dealer, I thought I might be able cut my losses with a lease. Here's what they offered. 2008 A6 3.2 Quattro Includes premium package, cold weather package, ipod integration. msrp $51,315, net Audi loyalty offer of $2000 to get a sales price of $49,315. Lease end value = 50% money factor = .00092 They are offering $2000 for my 2002 A6 which is essentially junk value. This doesn't sound like a great deal. I'd like to get some other opinions. I've copied the offer below. It has the rest of the detail. First Payment Date: 04/13/08 18) Audi Care: $ 590.00 ) Lease Institution: AUDI 19) Cash Cap Reduction: $ 2,000.00 ) M.S.R.P.: $ 51,315.00 20) Total Trade Allow: $ 2,000.00 ) Residualized Equip: Adjusted Cap Cost: $ 47,476.15 ) Mileage Calc: 21) Customer Cash Down: ) L.E.V.%: 50.00% 22) Total Sales Tax: $ 2,067.50 ) Lease-end Value: $ 25,657.50 23) ***MONTHLY PAYMENT***: $ 673.35 ) Term: 36 Base Monthly Rental: $ 673.35 ) Money Factor: 0.00092 24) Security Deposit: 25) License: $ 259.00 ) Selling Price: $ 49,200.00 26) Registration: ) Extended Warranty: 27) Upfront Acq.
