| I bought my for $83,000 loaded. Absolutely no discount and it was full MSRP. The dealer said there are shortages all over the country and if I wanted a black one it would take 3 months. The Audi A8 is a hot selling car and there are not very many around so why would the dealer need to discount. He wouldn't period..... | |
not a "hot selling" car. Very dissappointing actually. 500 cars is really pathetic. But I do enjoy the exclusivity of my W-12. Only 7 for the entire state of New York.

I just bought an Audi A8L and am curious how the masses think I did. Let me know so that I can feel better that I didn't get reamed  . Here are the specs. Audi A8L with a bunch of options MSRP: $81,560 12,000 Miles and 36 Months $2,900 out of pocket ($2,695 was inceptions) $1,121.50 + Tax per month ($1,200 incl tax) I got mine from Prestige Audi in Miami, Florida. There were only 5 A8's in all of South Florida so I didn't have many choices. Let me know what you think. Thanks, Steven

Replying to: sscheck (May 29, 2006 5:02 am) I leased mine in March $83K Loaded with all options and warranty's. 24,000 miles $10,415 Cash out pocket. $1,035 per month (tax $30) I got 68% residual and 0.00250 (6%) money factor. I put a lot down to keep the payment down. I would not have done the big down again, $5,000 less would have raised it $200 more per month. But it cash would have been in the bank. All in all it will cost me $36,000 to drive it for 2 years. Audi paid first payment so that was cool. |

Replying to: blkhemi (May 28, 2006 1:23 pm) Try 26.6 Billion in revenue and 1.3 billion in profit! That's 14.6% more than last year. Audi has sold more cars each and every year for 10 years straight. It's not how many sell each month but the overall picture. A8 Sales up 4.1% from previous year. Would you like to Retract that statement that Audi is "not a hot selling car"??? If your dealer had more A8's would you still make this absurd statement I don't think so. My dealer wishes he could get 25 more right now. You own a very rare and well sought after vehicle that is so awesome. You can go down the road and people look in awe! You see maybe 1 or 2 other A8's per Quarter. Come on man! I have a 2006 A8L 4.2 and I see maybe one other on the road per month.

Replying to: coloradoa8l (May 29, 2006 10:59 am) Don't get me wrong, I love the Audi brand. I think that they're the best of the Germans. So no I won't retract the statement. I still stand correct. Audi has only sold a little over 500 A8's. And that's a good thing for me as I don't like to see a carbon copy of a $100k-plus automobile just like mine. And for this reason, Audi will continue to keep me as a customer, and that's why I purchased an S8 to be delivered in November.

Replying to: blkhemi (May 29, 2006 12:53 pm) It's a simple formula, Audi sells more in europe than the USA because there are more to available. Ask any dealer and they will tell you they wish they had more. If Audi needed to sell more A8's than they would come way down in price and ship them like crazy. But because sales in europe and now other middle eastern states is so strong we just can't get them. Think about this for a second, I bought my A8 in March, One of only two A8L's available on the lot and they would not budge one penny on the price. Do you think they would have this attitude if the car was a dud like you claim? Nope didn't think so either. Enjoy your W-12 and I will enjoy my "Second year S8" Late!

Replying to: coloradoa8l (May 29, 2006 6:57 pm) The only reason I'm selling the W-12 is that I have a great friend of mine who totalled out his Phaeton V-8 and loves my W-12 powertrain so much that he's looked high and low for a Phaeton W-12 and came up with nothing. So the S8 comes along and the wife got tired of stooping her head under the roof of the CLS 55 and sold it and we aquired the S8. MY daughter and sister both drive S4 Cab's and my uncle is now in the process of trading his hard-as-bricks X5 4.4 in favor of the Q7. So Audi does get a lot of business from my side of the world. I couldn't imagine my garage without one now, and that is easy to come buy from the last year as the S65 AMG 760iL V-12, while nice, just didn't offer the full circle like the A8 does, with little to no compromise.
