Just to add to the pile, I got the car at $500 over invoice for an avant premium plus... One dealer claimed his "actual cost" was significantly more than invoice, and settled at $1000 less than msrp. Another accepted $500 over invoice, and in this case invoice was IDENTICAL to edmunds, which was the first I've seen someone report that. Usually people get told that the true invoice is more than edmunds. Someday I will get used to paying this much for a 4 cylinder!

Replying to: danxp (Oct 28, 2008 9:54 am) As for deals, I also negotiated to invoice price. I've also heard that the lease on this car is going to get more expensive starting in November. The current money factors and residual were set prior to the last several months and thus haven't been adjusted.

Hello, I've been car shopping for a while and have narrowed it down to 2 cars-- well, almost 2: various flavors of '09 Subaru Outback, and the '09 A4 Avant. These are very different cars, but among AWD wagons, I liked them the best. My question is, does the 09 Avant really only have 17.3 cu ft of space with the seats up, or is that some sort of mistake? When I test-drove each car, I looked in the back, and the Audi looked almost as big as the Subaru to me-- I guess the raking of the C/D pillars on the Avant is so extreme that I didn't notice how relatively short in height the back space was, even though it was plenty long/wide-looking? The Outback, by comparison, offers 33.5 cu ft, and looks it too-- that could be a huge difference. Audi's own site, like Edmunds.com, reports 17.3. The only other figure I found was on the EPA site (http://www.epa.gov/greenvehicles/Detailsresult.do?vehicle_ID=23424), which gives the Avant 27.6 cu ft-- a more visually believable number. But now I don't trust my eyes. Is Audi calculating this figure differently than Subaru? Does anyone here have any insight into whether the behind-the-seats space in the Avant is really that small (and smaller than the '08!)? thank you |

Replying to: allenjackson (Nov 11, 2008 12:03 am) A4 2.0 Premium Plus Leather uphostery costs about 38,000 MSRP, invoice price is 35,725  4.9% financing another dealer has offered me a 35,000 price. I am wondering if I should play a bit more and wait till mid december, What do you think about the interest rate? is it high or low? About the car, I test drove the A4 its a fairly quick machine, very light, nice turns, beautiful interior, can feel more space in the back, the LEDs are sweet, a comparable car would be a 328i will be driving one this weekend. |

I'll reply to my own post (see buying and lease experiences) just to update anyone interested. I told the dealer who I gave a deposit to in April, Brian Harris Audi in Baton Rouge, that I preferred to buy the car locally but if I were willing to go out of state for the same car I've waited on for 8 months, I could beat their offer of $1,000 off MSRP (only offered because they screwed up) by $500 and w/ 2.9% - 4.9% financing versus the $5.9% financing they offered me, and the sales manager told me: "If making a trip to Houston to save $500.00 at this point after we have tried to do as much possible for you is what you feel is better for Kathy than I hope you enjoy your new Audi. After all it is a great car,and you should enjoy it for it long time." His quote, his poor grammar and punctuation, his assumption that the other dealership was in Houston. My loss of a car I've waited on for 8 months and 8 months' worth of interest on my deposit. On the bright side, at 3:00 Monday I'll have $43,200 more than I otherwise would have had. My recommendation: Don't shop at Brian Harris BMW/Porsche/Audi in Baton Rouge, LA.
