The other negotiable aspect of this deal is your car's selling price. If you tell me what this number is, I;d be happy to tell you what I think of it.

Do you have the current MF and residual (36 months/12k miles per year) for AFS for the following:
2007 A3 3.2 S-Line
Cold Weather
Technology Package
Open Sky
MSRP: $37,750
A dealer told this can be had for "about" $525/month but didn't supply any details (yet).
Thanks in advance....
You never mentioned this car's selling price in your post. Make sure to find out exactly what it is. The selling prices of leased vehicles are negotiable, just as if you were paying cash for or financing them. Negotiate as low a selling price as possible on the A3 that you want and then have the dealer that you are working with calculate its monthly payment using the aforementioned lease program.

Also if take delivery on March 7th, can the dealer apply new lease rates even though he's already told me he can do the deal with the current rates?
The price I negotiated was $35,750 for a car with an MSRP of $37,300 and an invoice of $34,883. So 2.5% over invoice...but it's one of the few 3.2s I have seen in stock around here in CT and it happened to be the exact color, etc. I wanted...I also don't believe in crushing the dealer to the point where they don't make a dime....all that said, what do you think about the price?
looking for current lease money factor residual on A3 3.2 15k 24 and 36 month lease.
Thank you.
Do you have the lease rates for the base Audi A3 2.0t with DSG for 12k and 15k, for 36 months?
Thanks in advance,

Here's the car I am hoping to lease. Could you please post the lease details assuming a 24 or 36 month lease with 10,000 miles per year?
-2007 A3 2.0T
-Premium
-Automatic
-Cold Weather
-Audio Package *
-Ibis White/black leather (yum!)
* Also, I did have another question - it is not clear whether both the 'Audio Package' and the 'Audi Symphony' contain Sirius radio. Do you know? I'll probably not get the Audio Package if both have Sirius.
Thanks!
I am looking to lease an A3 for 36 months with 10k miles per year. What is the money factor and residual for:
2.0T Premium/DSG
2.0T S Line/DSG
3.2 Quattro
Thanks for your help.
Somethng that one of the dealers told me:
1. Apparently, if you choose S-Line, your Residual drops by 2 points (51%), as compared to selecting Premium Package, which yelds 53% residual.
2. In either case I got Money Factor of 0.0009.
3. No security desposit with this MF.
Hope this is of value to someone.
PS. Anyone seen anything lower??
According to one of the dealers I've been talking to, the Bose system is only available with the Open Sky System - which isn't something I really want.
As for Sirius, it only comes with the Bose system - so if you want Sirius you've got to get Open Sky as well...
Thanks!

I know that the "Audio Package" definitely does include Sirius radio, but I'm not sure if it is included in the "Symphony." I suspect that it is not.

Did the MF and Residual change after the 2nd of April (end of audi a3 lease special)? Or what are the current rates for 36month, 12k a year lease?
Thanks a lot!
thx!
Looks like that lease special program is really over (officially it was running till April 2), unless somebody will confirm otherwise (hence my question). I missed it too, and was quoted the same ~8%. Even though according to this document A3 sales are not going well.
I fail to see your point, neither honda or toyota is a luxury sporty car. If you want bulk sales there is Skoda for that or VW. But that's all just trolling.
Point is, instead of leasing I opted for financing, while APR is still low there...

I live in Florida and I am in the middle of looking for a lease program (A3). Last weekend, we visited the local Audi dealer and they gave us this price for Audi A3 2.0T (Base) with automatic trans:
MSRP: $27,990.00
Down: $2000 (including first month payment, but not including the acquisition fee or deposit)
Payments: $345 plus tax
Term: 36 months (36,000 mile)
What do you think of this deal? The leasing manager told us they maybe able to take another $10-$15 off per month.
Should I ask for more? such as maintenance services, etc?
When is the leasing program expired? Thanks!
What would I be looking at in terms of Money factor and residual for a 36 month lease? Miles would probably be 10K to 12K. I live in Minnesota and will probably lease in June or July. In the past have the lease programs become better with the new model years arrival approaching?
Thanks for your help. Currently deciding between purchasing an 06 or leasing an 07. Depending on what the difference in payments would be.
It is me again, I tried to edit my previous post, but couldn't.
Just wanted to clarify my questions.
Originally, we planned to purchase. After all, owning 15 different vechicles in the last 6 years, we decided it is better to lease. We are planning to lease 2007 Audi A3 2.0T (Auto) and basic model. We were given the MSRP: $27,990. They said put $2000 down including the first month due (they didn't ask for deposit or acquasition fee). However, they mentioned that if we decided to go with another Audi lease (after this lease expired), they will waive the acquisition fee.
The monthly payment is $345 plus tax. If we want to include the maintenance services, add $15 per month.
The lease term is 36 months (36K miles), 25 cents per mile for over the mileage.
Right before we left, they mentioned something about the monthly price.....they could lower $10-$15 per month (so pretty much cover the maintenance services). The maintenance sevice did not include the tires rotation which is out of the pocket.
Also, he mentioned something about tires, they may charged $$$ if tires worn out at a certain % wear.
We need to know exactly what covers and what not. How could we know this? Any hidden fees or future costs when returning?
Normal wear is okay with them.
Thanks buddy!
As far as this car's lease program goes, Audi just introduced its new July program on 7/3.

A3 2.0 S-Line with Open Sky, Black on Black
MSRP 30,895 on Edmunds calculator (though $30,840 at dealer)
Invoice 28,634 on Edmunds calculator
36 mo lease
12k and 15k miles annually
Is MF .00205 as above with 51% residual? Or am I slightly off?
Thank you.
I am planning on getting an A3 this or the next weekend... am on a tight budget and so I'll be getting the very basic automatic in lava-grey - no premium, cold weather, open sky, nothing!
This DC area dealer offered to sell at $1,500 below invoice - it works out to be $1,200 below KBB/Edmunds invoice.
Audi A3 DSG Lava-grey
MSRP: 28,045 (destination charge included)
Negotiated price: 24,873
With all taxes and tile: 26,652 (no 550 warranty included)
I plan on paying the taxes, title, processing fee, and say 2,000 down-payment from the 24,873 negotiated price(more if
the lease deals are better)
1. Does the deal sound OK - 1,500 below invoice? Shall I try to bargain further?
2. I plan to lease it for 3-4 years @ 10,000 miles/year. Does Audi have any offers for leasing terms? And what is the residual value and money factor for this car?
3. If I lease it, should I go for premium/cw/open sky? Seems that everyone has some options on their A3s. Would the monthly lease payments be substantially different?
4. And finally, should I be aware of any other "unexpected costs" that I might encounter at the dealership?
This is going to be my first car purchase in the US (or anywhere for that matter), and I've only been to a dealership once, for the A3 testdrive.
Any insights are very much appreciated.
Allbest.
Not sure about the MSRP, but I think it was in the $26K range (including the destination charge). It is absolutely the basic model with 6-speed Manual, clothes interior, red or white color. No upgrade!
Should I wait for the special lease program? I should have leased the car when I was there in the month of May....where they offered us $2K down, $340/mo plus tax with auto trans & audi care program for 12K per year (3 year lease).
Anyone know if they are going to have a new lease program for A3? Please advise. Thanks!
The lease rate recently posted seems to conflict with the data I am obtaining from a local phila dealer.
For the 2007 A3 2.0T, the dealer states:
24 month (15k) - Resid = 56% and Money Factor = .0033
36 month (15K) - Resid = 51% and Money Factor = .0033
Others are posting a MF of .00205.
Can someone confirm?
Thank you.
I am also looking at the A4 and the BMW 328 and so far the BMW with leather, auto, sport Pckg for $465 with first payment DMV and security deposit seems to be the best deal. A4 is the end of its life (2009 new model) and the A3 has ridicules rate around mid $500.
Any thoughts anyone?
Now, it's the end of the model year for the 2007's, and I'm ready. I know there are plenty left on the lots. I live in New Orleans, but have also been looking in Baton Rouge and Houston. Plenty available, but the financing is ABSOLUTELY AWFUL!
I didn't even ask the MF or residuals, because the quote I got for $3000 down, 48 month, 12k miles was "a little over $600 a month!" I was disgusted! I am leasing a 2007 GMC Acadia which has an MSRP about $15k more than the A3 for that! It seems obvious that Audi is not serious about selling these A3's.
That being said, I really like the car, and the 2008 changes seem minor, but cool. Sirius is standard and iPod link is available now. I know they are in the US, as a dealer has told me they are in the port of Houston.
Does anybody have any idea about time from port to lot? Also, I echo the question above. Any ideas about lease specials on the new model year? Does Audi have a track record with that?

I live in Maryland and I am looking to lease an Audi3. I visited the local Audi dealer and they gave me this price for Audi A3 2.0T with automatic trans, S-package, and cold weather package.
MSRP: $31,385
Selling price: $31,284
Could you work up a lease package for 24 months/15,000 per year? What is the money factor and what is the residual?
Thanks in advance.
It is difficult to say what Audi's future lease program on the A3 will look like, but I do not personally expect it to make any significant enhancements to the A2's program in the near future.

You never mentioned what model year the car that you are considering leasing is, so for now I will assume it is a 2008 model. Through October 1st, Audi Financial Services' 24 month, 15,000 mile per year buy rate lease money factor and residual value for the 2008 A3 2.0T Sedan with the S-Line Package are .00307 and 58%, respectively. Using these numbers, an MSRP of $31,385, and a selling price of $31,284, I estimate that your zero down, pre-tax monthly payment should be around a whopping $697. There are a TON of nice vehicles out there that you could get for less than that.
