#35 of 83 A8 Lease Question ... by timincali

Feb 27, 2007 (9:56 pm)

I started my quest for a new car this week and had no intentions of buying an A8. Well needless to say, one look and I was hooked. The offer I have on the table is the following:
  
A8 Short w/ premium, 19”, massage, Sirius
MSRP - $77970
Invoice - $72574 (according to KBB)
Offer - $73608
Residual – 44% (45% if I have them throw in the $599 maintenance program)
Money Factor – 0.00145
Payment with 7.75% tax - $1322.79
  
I’m in So Cal and wanted to know if the Residual and MF sound right for my region thru Audi Financial. A couple of posts back you stated that they were 46% and 0.0013. I just want to be sure that they are not marking these up. Also, do you think that there is room for further negotiation?
  
Thanks,
Tim-in-Cali

Tim,
 
Look at my numbers (I'm also in SoCal), I don't think $1322/m is fair. How many months and miles/year?
 
24m lease
12k/year
A8L Premium + Sports package.
  
MSRP $81,650
Got it down to $79,200
  
First/last down, $1260/month including CA tax (8.25%).

That's because the L leases out a little better than the SWB

"but there is no S line A8" - what do you mean, rjlaero?

technar,
 
The A8 doesn't have the S line treatments with the more agressive front end, steering wheel stitching, different wood or metal trim, and S line badges like the A3, A4, A6, & Q7.
 
The A8 has a sport pacakge, but it's only upgraded wheels & sport suspension.

Got it. Misunderstood the original post.
 
On a different note...
After about a year I'm ready for something different. Just not enough power. Maybe an S8 or a 911. Any other A8 owner wants to share their opinion?

I think the A8 is a car good enough for me in all aspects; somehow, by driving it, you feel you want more of the A8, and that is why I am waiting for the S8’ coming by the end of March or early April. Then, again, what do I need the big hp for? The cups in South Jersey give out the speeding tickets like the sex hormone desire in their inner bodies. I am just a car nut!

I left out that it is a 36mo lease 15K/year. What was your money factor and residual? At what So Cal dealer did you get your deal and when?
 
Thanks,
Tim-in-Cali

Couldn't tell you what the money factor and residual were right now.
 
I went with 24 months because Audi Financial had a better deal on 24 vs. 36 months. Not sure if it was some kind of a special they had going at the time or if the same is true right now.
 
An extra 3k/year will probably add $20/month from what I remember the dealer was offering.
 
Dealer: Keyes Audi on Van Nuys blvd in Van Nuys (went through their internet sales mgr).

Thanks ... I know I still have more haggling to do. I think that I can squeeze more out of my dealer. When did you buy yours? Maybe there was a special Audi Financial deal going on at the time.
