Fellas,

I'm posting over here from the b6s4 board to inquire about RS4 pricing. I've been considering buying/leasing an RS4 come spring time. It seems to be that brand new cars have a sticker price of 70k with the premium package. My budget for a payment per month is $1200. So essentially my questions are:

1 - Is it reasonable to believe I can lease/buy an RS4 for 1200 a month.
2 - What have your delivery times been when ordering a new one.
3 - Will I have that much more room for negotiation if I take a car out of inventory instead of ordering one.
4 - For 1200/month (less is obviously better) what other cars would you consider.

Things to note, I am in my early 20s, single, use the car mainly on weekends (work in Manhattan live in westchester) and will use this car as my primary car.

Thanks in advance guys.

1 - Yes
2 - 12-16 weeks (but probably longer now b/c of August slow down)
3 - Probably not, but some have had luck. In some cases the color helps.
4 - Don't have an answer for this one

So you believe 1200 is a reasonable guestimate for the rs4, would you say 1200 is ball park or I may be able to lease/finance one for less? I understand that in *most* cases it is financially better to buy the car but the convenience of leasing a car is appealing to me.

Just trying to begin my research. I believe that if you are going spend 70,000 dollars on a car you should thoroughly research the product & costs before hand. So thanks for your quick response.

I think that was the price I would have been paying if I leased mine. I just spoke to a friend who works at a dealer yesterday and he told me someone leased a 2008 RS4 with the Audi Exclusive interior for $1100.

I am not sure the RS will be available come spring.

Interesting... what are the differences with the audi exclusive interior?

Why wouldn't it be available in the spring?

2008 is the last model year.. But that should extend through next summer

Do I want to buy a model that is going to have production stopping months after I buy it? As far as I can tell from poking around on the web there won't be a b8 rs4 for a long time, and the b8 s4 isn't coming to soon either.

I absolutely love the power design and feel of the RS4 and I feel as thought thats enough for me to not care about when the next model will be released.
