Replying to: kyfdx (Mar 18, 2006 7:55 am) Please let me know what you were able to negotiate Thanks! |

The price expected depends upon the market and how willing the dealer is ready to negotiate. I've got a friend who just purchased a loaded A8  cost. But he lives in NC, where the market may not be as hot as California or NE. I paid about $113k for my W-12, which originally costed $129k. Their aren't many W-12's around and people definetely weren't buying at full price, any luxury car for that matter.

| The situation at each dealer is different. We average 5-6 percent over invoice on our A8's. However, if its the end of the model year and we have a few left, 2k over invoice is a reasonable deal. | |

Most dealers will cut a W12 loose at the end of the model year for fear of getting stuck with it. And most dealers won't order a W12 unless it's a special order car. Some dealerships like The Collection in Miami and other high-end markets in southern California keeps several W12's in stock and have more A8's. Audi does things on an allocation basis, and the more you sell, the more you can order next time around.

Audi doesn't import or sell many A8's to start, so there will be shortages all over, even in SoCal. The are plenty of "off-the-shelf" A8's to go around. But W-12's, not near as many. I know this as I receive updates from my Audi rep at Audi of NA. I recently just plopped a $50k deposit on a S8 for a NOV/JAN delivery, and received $5k off of sticker, so if you have the $$$, there are deals to be made.

Replying to: rjlaero (Mar 27, 2006 6:35 pm) I don't know where you get your info from, but Audi's doesn't sell very many cars, particularly A8's. Production went from 2700 to just over 4200 last year, and they import more supply than demand, so all of the holdbacks and profits don't mean thing when you're not selling cars. Mercedes and BMW doesn't have to worry about this as their big cars are going to move, no matter what. Audi does have to worry. Sure they sell a boat load of A3's ,A4's, and TT's, but even the A6's sells are off.

If your deal sounds too goo to be true, I don't think there's anything wrong with asking some deeper questions on how you struck such a great deal on a brand new 2006 A8, or if there's something missing that needs to be explained. I thought the whole point of this forum was to try to help other people out in getting a good deal. And here's the sales figures for 2005 A8. It's 5430...not 4200 like you mentioned. Also, the A6 did quite well in 2005. They sold 18,074 in 2005 vs 14,905 in 2004. A 21.3 % increase. I like dealing in exact numbers, and not generalizations. http://media.audiusa.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=9697

Replying to: rjlaero (Mar 28, 2006 4:01 pm) I don't mind questions, just not speculation and blasphermy. I don't mind explaining how I got a deal. W-12's are not popular in my neck-of-the-woods, A8's for that matter, despite the standard AWD in New England's harsh winter weather. Back to supply and demand. BTW, which Audi do you own? |
