2005 Audi A4 1.8TQ
« on: January 09, 2005, 01:57:56 pm »
Need your guys opinion and advice. The above mentined car is what I am looking at. I just requested a quote from Queensway Audi and this is what I got.

- dolphin grey with the platinum interior with the premium package
The 1.8T would lease with 0$ down for 24 months for $982.08 plus GST/PST Lowest residual possible $23,271.00  ,40000 km /year)
The 1.8T would finance with 0-money down for 48 month is $1,112.02

The interest rate for financing is 2.9% - for the lease it is 2.16% for the 1.8T

I think they are way high on the numbers. When I went on audi canada websit and prices the car I wanted it came out to around 43K MSRP but that was with premium and lighting pkgs.

Has anyone recently made a simipliar A4 purchase ? Would you be willing to share some details as to price you payed and where you got it from etc ?

please email me at crazyravr@hotmail.com or post here.

thank you

Are you sure you have typed the correct #s?
The residual seems too low, I would have assumed
the A4 after 24 months with 80,000km would have residual as high as $25,000.

Does your monthly have freight and PDI rolled into the payment?

Have you requested a price with the sport package, this package should make the residual higher.

There are couple regulars here that  have this model,they'll be able to help you.

No no sport pkg.

The info I gave was straight from a dealers quote over email and included all the fees. This is all priced out the door. I told then what I wanted exactly and they got back to me with their price. This is just a staring point but I want to know how much down I can go on all this.

Sorry, I don't think I can help you... mine's on a 48 mo. lease.

But I can tell you that I feel I got an unbelievable deal through Audi Centre Oakville and if you wish to PM me, I'll happily give you the name of the salesperson and any other details you wish.

Same, 48 month lease on an 04 and my father did a 48 month lease on an 05.  If we talked "price" instead of monthlies we could contribute.  That lease rate is excellent I might add.

I also strongly encourage you to consider the sports pkg - helps the handling a lot.

Out of curiosity, what kind of lease rate can you get on a 1.8T? How is residual?
I suppose rates will go down as we get closer to the release of the new A4 in NA.
Thanks!

Isn't the redesigned A4 due on our shores in a couple months?
Or is it a true MY2006 model.
The more I see the new A4 the more I like it,especially the new engine.

Dealerships are taking deposits for the 06 A4 and promising April delivery.  My boss plunked down a deposit on an A4 3.2 Avant for his wife (should be a nice combo with the SL500 he drives).

Crazy, I bought in Vancouver so not sure how much the details help, but I'll let you know.

So I have been back and forth with a dealer and this is what I got from him so far.

1.8TQ 6spd
- sport pkg
- premium pkg
- lighting pkg
- dolphin grey on black
- 39month term with 20000km/year and 0 down


$45,245.00 is the list price from which the residual-values were based on.

The monthly payments were based on a saleprice of $43,500.00

The up front payments include:first month,refundible security deposit(calculated as $50.00 more than the monthly payment before tax -rounded up to the next ten),PDI $749.00,A/C tax $100.00,Gas Tax $75.00,administration $300.00(last four items are plus GST/PST),PPSA (registration to the creditbureau).


48 month lease at 6.48% /20000 km   $662.71 per month plus taxes ($762.11 taxes in) Res. $19,907.80  up front  $2,947.71

 

42 month lease 2.76% /20000 km    $624.39 per month plus taxes ($718.04 taxes in ) Res. $20,360.25  up front $2,863.64

 

39 month lease 2.16% /20000km     $606.02 per month plus taxes ($696.03 taxes in ) Res. $22,170.05 up front $2,821.63


How does all this sound to you guys? IMO from what some ppl told me this is way high. Do you guys think I could negotiate lower and maybe droping the "upfront" fees? Is that doable ? Any input will be appreciated.

Thanx

Monthly seems right, but still think the residual is too low.
I like the 39 month term the best.

Will the difference between 42 and 48 mo. lease make a big deal -- 'cuz that payment is waay more than mine and mine's equipped the same except the lighting pkg.

Thats what I thought as well Jeff... plus did you have to pay all those fees on top of the final price ? Or is everything included in your payments ?

Hmm... I'll have to look it up when I get home again.  It seems to me I worked a deal where some of those might have been covered off.

Just as a comparison here are some lease #'s
on a S60 AWD MSRP around $44,000cad, $0.00 down,
20,000km, and if I remember monies due at delivery is around $1,500.00.

24 Month 2.80% Monthly $722.76 Residual- $28,796.80  
36 Month 2.80% Monthly $617.98 Residual- $24,747.25  
48 Month 2.80% Monthly $572.20 Residual $20,247.75
Monthly does not include tax.
I use the S60 as an example as the A4 is very comparable in cost.

Or….save big bucks, shine up you rear-view, and drive a Subaru Legacy GT.

A Subaru is quite a step down from an Audi or Volvo IMO... especially in fit, finish, material quality and overall interior design.

All it takes to impress people is a big engine, or a small engine with a turbo slapped on it. It's pathetic really. How come people don't have higher expectations out of 30-40-50k$ cars?!?

They did a comparison between the S40 and the Legacy GT on a TV show a few months ago... the guy pointed out at least 10 spots in the Legacy where he could have ripped off some piece of ceiling material because it was just hanging, or piece of plastic around the steering wheel that weren't fixed to anything. He really wasn't impressed with Subaru's assembling.

I disagree with the premise of Shnak's post, but Snowy, the financing on a Legacy GT is nasty.  You'd be surprised how close the monthlies would come out on a LGT Limited (to get vaguely comparable features to the A4) to the ones quoted above.

Of what you've posted, I would grab the 39 month lease and I think you should be able to shave at least another $500 out of the car and/or fees.  Actually, maybe more given these cars are being redesigned away in the next couple of months.

Also, excellent spec - just about perfect (needs to be a wagon to be perfect - not just 'cause I love wagons, but compare the visibility to the rear between the sedan and wagon and you'll be convinced).
