I drove a 24 eTron GT today and liked it a bunch. I am fairly certain (but would need to verify) that my kids two boosters would fit in the back seat with sufficient leg room. In addition to the new GT I drove today, they also had two demos (one GT in black which is probably not a great color for the summer heat where I live and an RS in blue.
What sorts of target discounts should I seek for a new GT or the two demos noted? Also curious how to think about residual values and MF for demo cars. The dealer said the GT could be had for “around $700 for 24 mos with just drive offs) but I didn’t really push on pricing yet.
I have one rear-facing and one front-facing car seat and it’s fine. I bought two lower profile car seats and I’ve been pleasant surprised by how much of a non-issue it is getting the kids in and out. We have my wife’s SUV as the primary family car, but I take the kids to school and other places just fine. You’ll be just fine with booster seats as long as you’re not planning to have your GT serve as your primary family car.
Thank you for sharing your experience. We are going to continue using my wife’s car as the primary family vehicle, but between school drop-offs/pick-ups and various activities I will typically have both kids in my car at least once every two days. The boosters are pretty small though and the kids climb in and buckle themselves in, so I won’t need to stoop over to assist.
I have looked through the available broker deals in the marketplace for the eTron GT, but as I think about putting together a target with local dealers, I am curious what the rebate and discount variables look like. For new, I have the MF and residual assumptions. There is the $7500 lease credit as well. Are there other dealer cash or rebates to take into account, or am I simply filling in the difference through a % discount on the vehicle?
If I were looking at an iX, for example, I would know a solid deal is getting the full $9,900 in rebates and a 12% discount on the car before the rebates are applied. Not sure how to structure for the eTron.
I think only time to score a etron deal is when its 1 off or unless theres a good lease program of the month. But cars like that i think its best when they come by as “1 off” deal
Sorry for the silly question, but what do you mean a one off deal? Like I happen to find the right dealer on the right day and they give me an outside of market discount to move a car?
I am seeing a $7,500 lease bonus and $10,000 customer cash bonus. There is an additional $6,500 customer cash but not sure if that applies to lease programs. So if I assume $7500 in taxed incentives, $10,000 customer cash bonus, and a 10% discount, that would put the pre-tax monthly at $659 w/$2,744 due at signing. Monthly effective including tax would be $827 for 24/7.5k. Not sure whether that’s a reasonable target, though, if I’m seeing broker offers of ~$880 effective including tax?
Based on what I’m seeing in the calculator, it seems the $7,500 lease bonus cash, $10,000 Audi Credit, and $6,500 customer credit are stackable. So that would be $24,000 of bonus dollars / credits before any additional discount is applied to the vehicle? One dealer simply said “you qualify for the $7,500 bonus + a 10% discount”, which results in numbers much higher than I’m seeing from brokers here.
Wow, I can get out of my 2023 nine months early for the privilege of driving the identical car (minus the only option on my current example) for only $14k DAS plus govt fees and $818 a month for the next three years.
I’m going through this right now on my 2024 RS E-tron GT, 3 months old, 2,350 miles.
Ill keep you updated, but there is a sizable gap between net capital cost vs insurance valuation, in my favor where AudiFS built-in GAP “waiver” won’t be utilized.
Almost finished, will post once the payout completes and I receive my chunk from the insurance.
