end of lease
Two months left on my lease. Any suggestions on what I can do? I would like to lease another 3.2. My prior lease was $725/month including NY tax on a $48,000 car (no money down, except bank fee, security & 1st month). Will I see these numbers again? I believe Audi is waiving security deposits for loyal customers.

im in the same boat. No security deposit and no disposition fee if you lease another audi.
Unfortuanately there is no $1800 loyalty cash towards another lease. I got hooked up with that on my current A6. I want to keep my A6 for another year. Too many other cars are either too new and have rediculous leases or they are getting completely redone next year.

Re: end of lease
My 2005 A6 3.2 was $53,286 and leased for $640/mo for 36 months and 45K miles.
Audi must not be "as interested" as BMW in dominating the market, for this discrepancy keeps happening year after year -- with but about 15 minutes of exception.
Who knows?
A dealer friend of mine claims the true cost of one of these cars is about 25% of MSRP, so there is a lot of markup: dealer, middleman, and god knows who else, folks getting a piece of the pie.
Audi should be, ?, wanting to gain on BMW -- but you know, they have been getting better and better every year and the reviews often demonstrate that Audis are arguably better than the comparable BMW. The new 535xi can be had for about $100 more than I am paying here in Cincinnati for my A6.
An Audi A4 of the new design and specs looks like a winner.
I love my C6, it is the best of 28 Audis, although NOT my fave -- that still remains the 1995 S6 I had.
Not much new in the A6 for 2008, I would think they would be heavily discounted just to keep up even modest sales, 'specially when the new A4 arrives next year.
A new A6?
I'd love to have one.
But not unless it is equal to or less than $640 per month when BMW's 535xi is "so cheap."
Count me in for a new A4 -- it will be about one inch shorter in the wheelbase than the A6, have more and better features and performance and will do for the A6 what the new Cadillac CTS is doing for the STS.
Anyone UP for a 3.2 bi-turbo A6?

Re: end of lease
Mark, your lease was a great deal. You knew how to push the right buttons back then.
If the new A4 is what you say it is, then why would anyone even consider a new A6? Seems weird to me stepping down to an A4 and getting much more for your money versus the A6.

Re: Wow that seems like a high payment
Actually, that was a good deal back in those days or a least I thought it was. The new A6 was just released and most on this forum paid more for it then, except for Mark. I do not have my lease in front of me but I would guess the buyout is 25-$28,000. I will have 45,000 miles on the OD at lease end.

Re: end of lease
Hey all, I'm new here
My 06 A4 lease is up next month so I decided to get into an 08 A6 3.2 quattro. Audi gave me a $1500 loyalty credit and with $3400 down (1st month, bank fee & tax) my payment is $665 on a $52,000 car (premium, cold weather, tech, and ipod connection - no nav, I like maps) with 18,000 miles a year for 3 years. No security or dispo fee. I'm in NY also. Should be getting it this week...
I bounced back and forth between 2 dealers and the first price the quoted me for the same car was $100 more a month. After making them compete against each other, I got what I think is a great deal.
Cheers
