Yep.
I disagree here. A base trim 4xe is nicer than a comparably priced (from a lease standpoint at least) sorrento phev)

That was his construct of a target deal which has been turned down afaik

@mk1 - As others have stated, do not buy an out-of-warranty German car, unless you plan to purchase an extended warranty.
Maybe you should ask your friend some of the known issues he has seen with this model.
My '21 A6 has had a few issues in the past 6 months, all covered under warranty. They include:
- Replacement of the valve body related to a transmission issue
- Replacement of the starter generator for the hybrid motor
In both instances, my car was not drivable and had to be towed to the dealer. Good thing Audi roadside assistance covered the towing.

I’ll try again. What’s the worst that they can say?!
That’s what I was afraid of…the guy is a former neighbor, a good kid actually, who is trained on Audi. He was going to take it to his shop, assuming the dealer would let me do that, and do a full diagnostic on it and then give me his assessment. Buying something like this used without a warranty makes me nervous so I’m scratching it off the list.

Sorry for confusing you guys. I’m starting to understand why I shouldn’t start multiple threads. Again, I apologize.
That’s the deal I offered and the “one price” dealer said that they were already offering a fair price, so they declined. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Then move on from that dealer if you don’t want to take their deal. TBH, I have not seen much info on '23 A6s. In general, anywhere from 8% + off MSRP on a non-EV Audi is pretty decent. I am not saying it makes for an overall good deal, but most folks are not buying/leasing sedans.
Good luck.

Why are you wasting your time with dealers in your area? Did you bother looking at broker deals in the Marketplace?

I’ve looked at all the deals, multiple times throughout the day. I also can’t find a listing of brokers, but one is emailing me about a Volvo. The problem is I need to move fast like today or tomorrow at the absolute latest.

ftr this is the 5th time in this thread OP was directed to Marketplace (albeit the first with the link).
keep in mind the broker doesn’t need to be in MN the car could be shipped from anywhere. AND: go rent a car until you sort this b/c sales people can smell your frustration and desperation. We’ve all been there, you blew a program month and now the programs have changed - deep breath and reset.

@mk1 - my advice still remains the same.

It’s possible but would need several stars to align to have a car in your driveway by tomorrow through a broker search started now.
Otherwise local dealer CPO or Carmax will be your fastest route

Why 42 months? Is that the sweet spot for an Audi lease?
