Replying to: thbell (Nov 12, 2008 8:23 am) You should be able to get a good idea of how much your car is worth by stopping by the following sections of Edmunds.com a month or two before the scheduled end of your lease: Edmunds.com True Market Value in the Used Vehicle Pricing section of this site and the "Real-World Trade-In Values" discussion. You even can place a call to Audi Financial Services a month or two before your lease ends to see if the would be willing to negotiate your car's purchase price even lower. More often than not banks won't, but they do occasionally so it's worth a shot. Whatever you do, don't tell them how low your mileage is when you call. Good luck and let us know how everything turns out. Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum

Does anyone (esp. Car_Man) have thoughts on this program that's offered when you buy or lease a new audi? I was quoted a price of $850, which covers up to $5K of damage, with any one line item allowed to be no more than $1K. It's sold thru a company called America Auto Guardian, which supposedly has an agreement with Audi. Salesman said you just get the end lease inspection, send the invoice to AAG, and they take care of the damages. I just had my inspection on a 2 year audi lease and got hit with $1370 in charges for scratched rims and a few scratches and dents on the car. Found a body shop to do the repairs for $1100, but that's still more than it would have cost me if I'd had the coverage. I'm now going into a 3 year lease so it seems worth it to pay the insurance upfront when I know it'll probably get scratched and dinged again, and knowing now how nitpicky Audi is on the charges. Salesman also said I could tint the windows and then not get charged for it when I turn the car as Audi considers that excess wear and tear so it'd be covered (as long as total cost to remove that modification is less than $1K)..

Just signed on a 2008 Audi A6 3.2 CVT w/ premium, nav, ipod, homelink, s line exterior. 36 months/ 10k miles per year. MSRP was around $44215 (after $5150 enhancement credit-- original MSRP was $49365). Selling price before rebates was a little under $35000. But I added $650 Audicare (which raised residual by 1%) and the $845 excess wear and tear protection. $1540 total driveoff including first months payment. I qualified for the $1500 Loyalty bonus which helped make it such a good deal, and Audi technically picked up my first month's payment. $443/month including taxes. Car is Silver metallic on gray. Had to be ordered from another dealer bc there are so few left that fit my specs (Salesman went out of his way to find one to make the deal happen). If you want a black one or quattro, there are still a lot of these available. Best dealership in CA that made it a fun experience: Santa Monica Audi. One salesman in particular made everything happen and was extremely straightforward and helpful. Message me for his name and he will hook you up. They also realized they had miscalculated the residual in my favor by 1%, but they ate the cost so my deal stayed the same. That alone should tell you something about why I think so highly of this salesperson and dealership. Massive thanks to CAR_MAN and members of this forum who helped along the way! |

Replying to: twodomes (Nov 21, 2008 12:46 am) Unfortunately, I am not familiar with the company America Auto Guardian. You might want to ask the dealer for more information about them or google them. Lots of companies are probably going to go bankrupt in 2008. It would be annoying to purchase a policy from one of them and be left with a worthless $850 piece of paper.
