Default A6 pricing question

I'm trying to get my boss to join the Audi family. He's looking at the following:

2.8 Avant
Ebony Pearl exterior
Melange leather interior
Premium package
sunroof package
cd changer
Bose System

the MSRP on audiusa.com is $42.425
he's looking at buying it from Anderson-Behel in San Jose. What can he expect to pay? Is there anything else about this car that he should know?

thanks... josh

p.s. hopefully he won't get addicted and find me on AW all day

Default Go to Carsdirect.com

You'll see what a very good price is. If your boss is a world-class negotiator, he should start with that number and take it down a few notches.

The eventual price always comes down to two things: ability of buyer to get their price, desire of dealership to sell that car.

Default Unless he wants an '01, the '02's should be out in a few weeks with a 3.0 with a bit more zip.

Many issues on '01 vs. '02 pricing re-discounts off MSRP, residual on leases, etc.

Default Tell him to tell 'em not to put the front plate on...

and tell him to wait for the '02 3.0 engine...should be considerably more responsive.

Default Re: Go to Carsdirect.com

I just talked with Rector in Burlingame and I got them to go to $800 over invoice for both the 2.7T and the 2.8. I am still trying to get them to come down about $50/a month on the 2.7T. If I can I will be getting one of those.

BTW ..if anyone here is leasing a 2.7T, what was your drive off, your term and what are your payments if you dont mind me asking. Thanks!

Default Payment difference approx $22 per month per $1000 difference in price.

So, if they are at $800 over invoice, they are going to have to discount the car about $2200. Sounds like you need to find a car with a lower price to begin with, if you are looking for a payment that is $50 less per month than you are being offered now at $800 over invoice.

Default Re: Go to Carsdirect.com

a month ago i leased a 2.7t w/ premium package, preferred lux package, cold package, bose, sunshades and rear airbags on the following terms:

48 months
12k miles/yr.
0 down (paid first month and tags)
no security deposit
$552/mo with sales tax (5.75%/month tax)

the money factor was somewhere around 3%. i don't know what their true final sell price was based upon these terms (there's a luxury tax thrown into the calcuation at some point), but my sense is that it was close to invoice.

i agree with april that you won't be able to do $50/month better, but in addition would question the need/desire to fight with the dealer to bring the sales price down by just a few hundred dollars more, especially if you're leasing. the net monthly difference will be less than $15 per month.
