Feel like I did pretty good with this one given Bay area dynamics. Was torn between buying out the lease for our 2020 Audi SQ5 and getting something new. Started looking at the XC90 after seeing other forum posts and incentives for the month. After wife and I test drove the B6 we agreed it’d only make sense to consider the T8 because “green-er” from the plug-in (my avg mpg on the SQ5 over 22K miles was 17) and more power (455 hp helps offset the weight of this monster). Coming from sports-cars and performance SUVs the B6 had me wanting a bit more.
Deal details:
MSRP: $78,915
Pre-incentive discount: 9.4%
Incentives: $11,750 (pHEV credit, dealer lease cash, employee discount, Conquest)
Money Factor: .00307 - marked up only a tiny bit (+10 basis points)
Security deposits: $8K
DAS: $2K
Dealer Add-on: $800 for scratch and dent but i’m thinking to take this off and should have 30 days to do so
Overall: Without scratch and dent the monthly is $667 pre-tax with $2K DAS
No other NorCal dealers would come close to this pre-incentive discount. It also ended up sweeter than we initially negotiated because the dealer offered to cover off my remaining lease obligation on the SQ5 (Dispo fee + last month’s payment). They couldn’t get the trade to work on the Audi so they just took an additional $1K off the selling price and let me handle myself (after which i took to another Audi dealer that bought out my remaining lease obligation).
