I love my 2004 A6 2.7T S-line Quattro, and when I bought it I got a hell of a lot more car included "standard" than the BMW 5 series or MB E series offered back then. But it is true that Audi has upped prices and increased the nickel and dime approach. And the new A6 isn't nearly as fun to drive. The 6 cylinder engine is smooth but blah, compared to my 2.7T and the steering and handling now feels more like an American car - too much power assist and not as precise. So I can't agree with you that it has the kind of unqiuely German feel of the BMWs, which are what set them apart from the Japanese luxury cars.

I don't like BMW's steering. It's too heavy. Audi's servotronic lightens up at lower speed and tightens up 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.

Don't forget that my brakes were also included free before in 05'. I got it in May of 05' when that was still included. First of all, a brake job on an Audi is about 800-900 dollars for the full brakes. I'm not saying they are cheaper on an Infiniti but I have had Japanese cars in the past and most local secondary (not dealer) shops that specialize in Japanese cars will do it a lot cheaper than that. I agree with someone else that mentioned they weren't a big fan of the "piano" style dash on the Infiniti. I'm not a big fan either. I love the MMI as I am used to it after 3 years of driving. Also, didn't know the money off was $2,000 for March. It was only $1,500 in February.I'm not knocking Audi...just wish they didn't increase price so much for same thing.

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.

They are offering $2000 for my 2002 A6 which is essentially junk value.

Wow they have not discounted the car at all. You would be able to get it for much less if you go through internet sales. Why don't you try selling your old Audi to Carmax? They might give you a better price. Also I hear there is $3000 hidden dealer cash? You can easily get it below invoice if this is true

#450 of 1326 Good deal or not? by glfan

Mar 16, 2008 (10:55 pm)

Hi, I was offered $1k below invoice on an Audi A6 Quattro before the $2k rebate(purchase price at $3k below invoice). Did someone say that there's a $3k dealer cash? Is it on top of the published $2k rebate? The lease factor is 0.00033, that's virtually nothing(below 1% effective APR), right? Residue is at 50% on a 12k/36month lease. Is this good deal or not? Can anyone comment? When is A6 going to have a model change? This is the 4th model year. BTW, thanks to you all. This is a great forum!

The current A6 is going to soldier on several more years most likely until 2011 before any major styling changes.
 
The 08 models will likely get a small power increase to 265hp as in the new A5 and upcoming 2009 A4 3.2.
 
The leases are pretty good on the A6's right now. The residuals are just ok, but the money rate factors are crazy low less than 1% interest.
 
Putting a new engine in an A6 is extremely expensive. There's nothing a dealer can do with your car except take it to the auction.
