Anybody have an Audi A5?

[vipervin]

well, my last two cars have been leased and used and I did negotiate the residual with the dealer ( im sure they do negotiate with the bank as well behind doors ) but I did manage to get the residual to be where I wanted it to be in both cases. ( first a 2006 BMW 650i Cab and now a Maserati GT 2008 )

You sure you weren't negotiating from an artificially low residual value? The residual value and money factor are set by the manufacturer. It is fixed and will always be fixed. However, it doesn't necessarily mean that the dealership won't mark it up to make more profit from uninformed buyers.

I have a 2010 S4 and love it - with the exception of the brake squeal in the freezing winter temp's.

BTW, if you're in the market for a car, make sure you buy through the American Express Zag program -- it guarantees you -$500 under invoice. Knocked $100 /month off my lease.

Driving a 07 S5 myself and I still love it. But I think I ll head for the 2011 CLS 63 AMG this year. If you get any A5 I would suggest to get the 3.0l Diesel.

I'd take an Audi over an Infiniti any day of the week. But then again, my motto right now:

disregard depreciating assets, acquire plane tickets

Glad you got G37 instead. enjoy 328hp. Audi's are nice, but they seriously need to start putting better engines into A5 and A4.

That being said S4 is really nice with its 3.0 supercharged motor. Altough it is more expensive than 335i

I wish to buy Audi very soon. It is my dream car
