Holy sweet jeebus, $70k plus tax for an A4 Avant?? It's a sweet looking wagon, but that price is just insanely ridiculous!!!!

well... to be fair.. the body kit and tire package did cost around 13,500$... but i do have to admit... the german's do know how price the snot out of something.

[ttrank]

My friend paid a lot less than that for his S4 Avant!?!

That's rape!

yikes....
I remember looking at the A3 with DSG when it came out & just about stained my shorts when I heard the price.

I agree.... they do know how to amp the price.

Rather buy two evos. Jeeez

So that car, taxes included, would cost me $79,733.93. NO WAY I would spend $80k on that car!

Would you pay $100k for a Nissan? Yes the GTR. I would!

If I had the money, absolutely. IMO, the GT-R is work $100k MUCH more than an A4 Avant is worth $70k.

[4DGS]

Yea, lets compare apples to bananas?

The GTR is fast and bad ***, the A4 advant is a slow WAGON.

The GTR is comparable to Audi's R8. Just 100k less.

[sdnpaul5at]

Just to confirm, I would not pay $70k for the audi! I hate it when people say $100k for a Nissan, damn right! $200k less than a Ferrari and a car that can hit 100km/h in 3.5 seconds & 200mph!

Really, it's not that bad if you take off the price of the body kit and special wheels and tires (over $8000 for wheels and tires is crazy). Heck a loaded FX will cost you that much.

^Yeah, $8200 extra for 19's versus 18's...

Can't imagine there is any margin in that.

They're really ssstttrrreeetttccchhhiiiinnnnggg on that car.

Totally understand Wayne. What bothers me is the fact that they charge that much additional for a body kit and wheels and tires......it's just absurd. There is no way in hell that an A4 Avant should cost $80k (taxes in) no matter what options are included. To me, that's like putting a body kit and wheels on a $20k Civic and charging $40k for it.

[GEE35FX]

For sure, it is absolutely nuts, asking that price for those extras.

[canucklehead]

new audis are waaaaaay overpriced. i was at a car show a few years back where the S4 Avant (wagon) listed $84k. that's nuts. you can get into an A4 for less than $40k, but don't count on many frills.

bmw's, audi's, MB's of the world have rediculous "option lists" that can quickly add 20-30% to the MSRP of a base vehicle. even a $50k BMW comes with "leatherette" and not leather. real leather costs extra.

this is where lexus saw a big opportunity to simplify luxury car buying, and it worked for them - infiniti/acura as well. for some reason the germans still haven't caught on.
