#662 of 676 Money Pit ?????

You should be thanking your lucky stars that you have a 10 year old auto with $170K miles and 'ONLY" spent $5K for repairs/maintenance.
You can spend $5K on just 10K, 15K and 25K scheduled maintenance and forget about the cost on maintenance once you get over 40-50K.
If you think that it's a "moneypit", then use it for a trade and take your $1K (maybe) and get another car.
Just MHO.

Just to clarify -- the car has only 39,000 mi on it now (there is only one dealer w/in ~170,000 mi radius). The nature of the repairs already paid for (~$5000), together with the nature of the impending repairs (~$10,000) is the nub of the question. But thank you.
BTW, comparing Audi repair mileage to our '93 Honda Accord Ex manual, on several repairs, so much for Audi's high performance:
New battery Audi
16K & 39K but Honda
46K and 94K.
New rear brake pads Audi
18K & 37K but Honda
76K
New front brake pads Audi
20K & 39K but Honda
88K

170 miles would force me to find a dealer that repairs Audi's. There has to one close unless you live in the woods or desert......
But, even with 39K, $5K on expense's is cheap for an A6, especially 10 years old. There is something called yearly maintenance that should be done no matter the mileage.
But it's your car.....I do not put Audi's and Honda's in the same class but that is just me.
#665 of 676 2013 A6 Money Factor and Residual

I'm wondering what the Money Factor and the Residual are for: (i) 36mo lease at 12k miles/year; and (ii) 42mo lease at 12k miles/year. My credit would be top tier.
I'd lease by the end of this month 2/13, if they can find the build out that I want.
Thanks in advance.

I think you have the wrong thread.
This question probably belongs in leasing an A6 even though the first requirement to getting a good lease is agreeing to the best purchase price for the car.
I am surprised that there is not too much feedback in this thread on recent prices paid on A6s.

I am looking to purchase the A6 Prem Plus model. The MSRP is $57,020 and two dealers have quoted me $52,500 including the $1,500 conquest money. That discount is 7.9%. What are you finding?
#668 of 676 2010 A6 what should I pay?

I am buying a 2010 A6 Premium Package plus cold weather package. It has just under 24k miles. The dealer is asking $34,995. This is close to what Edmunds calculates for a CPO at $34,591.
I know there must be a few thousand dollars in profit for the dealer built into the price.
How much room should there be for negotiation?

Placed an order for an A6 3.0 and received rate protection on 42 mos/10K, .00157/48% March figures. MSRP $58,820 and my initial cap cost $55,967. Doc fee $190, acquisition $695, and plates,etc $250. The $1500 Conquest rebate will depend on Audi offerings when car arrives 90 days. Michigan. Car Man, your forums and information you offer up helped me tremendously. Thanks for all you do!

I think your price is very similar (if not exactly) to mine:
MSRP: 61370
Offered: 56500
%Discount: 7.935%
From TMV calculator, invoice is sitting at around 6.89%, and TMV is sitting at 4.43%, so we both got a deal under invoice price, which is a good deal IMO.

Dealer ready to give me my choice of Audi A6 2014 for invoice + $500 plus tax plus title plus document fees.
Is this a good deal? Can not find much on audi forum here.
