Default This just sucks (for me)...

Listening to radio on the way into work and Audi commercial comes on. Fully loaded A6 2.8 Celebration, quattro, etc... lease for $399/month w/ $1300 down. I put $2000 down on my 99.5 2.8QMS and lease for $478/month. My friends wife told me someone at her work is leasing a fully loaded A4 for under $350/month! She doesnt know if it's a 1.8T or 2.8, but thinks it's the "higher end" model. Did I get ripped off or is the pricing just falling for these?

Default Don't forget the terms

Some leases sound good but there is a lot of crap that can be tacked on. Plus you have to know the length of the lease.

Default The A6 2.8 doesn't move really well

I think I remember hearing that it's one of their slowest selling models. They've been pricing it agressively to try and move it.

Also, with the economy slipping they are going to need to be proactive to keep sales up.

Default I'm also leasing a '99 2.8.....

I put 3500 down, and pay $426/ mo for 39 months.

This works out to a couple grand better than your lease plan, but I managed to talk the initial price down to 31,000 BEFORE we started talking about the lease plan.

Bear in mind that when they advertise lease prices, they never factor in the various sales/use tax, etc.

Hmmm.. I got mine for $400 over invoice, but I forget what the invoice was.
