I have a 2016 A4 with quite a few options/extras. In 2016 the list price was £41,105. I have been given a PX value of between £12,500 and £13,500 by Audi. I have done 87,800 miles.
Today I specced an identical car (current MY19 model) which came in at £45,310 list.
I am able to simply hand my current car back because I have paid half of the finance, although I would be liable to an £800 odd penalty for excess mileage.
There is a new MY20 A4 coming out (for order at least) at the end of the month. It has significant interior changes and looks like an A6/A8 on the inside. Prices are not yet available.
Like for like, (with the same deposit that I paid last time, but without the PX value (£4,400) from my previous car and with the various dealer/manufacturer's contributions available on an A4), my monthly payments were going to be £100 more, if I went with the (current) MY19 A4.
The reason I write, is that Audi are giving an enormous contribution towards the cost of an A6. Such that for an identically specced A6 to my current A4, although the list price was £48,830, with the much greater dealer/Audi contribution (and the same deposit paid by me - but again without any PX value that I had previously), the monthly cost was only going to be £42.04 per month more than I am paying now. The rationale as explained to me by the dealer, is that a number of the options that I pay for on the A4 are standard on the A6, together, of course with the much better manufacturer incentive to buy the A6. I had not even considered buying an A6, but this has certainly given me something to think about.
I am going back to the dealer when the prices for the new A4 come in, but I am sorely tempted by the A6.
