The dealers are free to mark them up (to a certain limit), which means more profit to them. They can mark the acquisition fee as well. They cannot change residual.
Whether or not they are successful in marking up the rates depends on the local competition, of course, as well as the customer's attitude. They can ask whatever they want, you just don't have to accept it.
2018 430i Gran Coupe
Thank you
MSRP: 37,535
Paid: 35,800
MF: 0.0008
Res: 56% - added audi maintenance
I paid the $575 acq. fee, the $550 maintenance, tag and dealer fees, and $700 cap reduction (total $2000 down). I know I should not have, but I did. They bought my trade for $1500 more than I had been offered anywhere else, so I figured it was sort of free money.
Payment: $459 pre tax
I also made them throw in some mugs and keychains to make myself feel better. All in all, I am very excited. I have wanted an A4 since 2003. Thanks for all the great insight.
This only leaves $7/month for interest. From the calculation process I saw on an earlier message I see the following possible Money Factor:
if....($30,960+18266)*MF = Monthly Interest Payment, then....
MF =Monthly Interest Payment / (30960+18266) and at $7/month in interest, the money factor works out to be about .00015
This seems significantly lower than what others are saying on this forum. What am I doing wrong?
if this in fact correct, do they transfer that money factor to the A4's that are the seme car, but different opions?
Thanks
In your calculations, you assume that the MSRP is the CAP cost, but most likely, it is some number less than that.

2007 A4, metalic paint, with premium, convenience, cold package.
12K mile/yr, and Audi care for 36 month (includes scheduled maintanance)
Initial payment (includes first month payment and everything) = 1100
Monthly payment 440 (inculdes 8% sales tax)
I recently went ahead with getting a lease on an 07 Audi A4 cvt with a base msrp of around 33k but got it down to invoice around 31 k. My drive off was 925 and 417 a month including orange county sales tax. I got a black on black with blue tooth, premium, and convenience, for a 3 year lease 12000 miles a year. Was this a decent deal or was I ripped off?

You can use the following lease calculator to work up lease payments: Edmunds.com Lease Calculator. You also can calculate them on your own by using the formula that is outlined in the following article: Calculate Your Own Lease Payment.

I placed a deposit on the following deal:
2007 Audi A4 Quattro Tiptronic Automatic Trans (MRSP $31,540)
Metallic Color ($750)
Premium Package ($800)
Heated Seats ($450)
Total MSRP of $33,540
I am not sure what the selling price was, since we were negotiating on the final lease payment per month, and the dealer was playing with that number. I would really apreciate if you can estimate that number for me, looking at other figures that I provide.
So here is what I got:
36 months 15,000 miles per year
$450 per month INCLUDING tax (8,375% in NY)
Acq Fee + First Month Payment + Registration + DMV
Let me know if that deals sounds good to you?
Also do you know approx. how much will be registration and DMV fees?
Thanks a lot.
One last thing..I would recommend Forum readers looking to pull the trigger on an A4 lease to go with the all season tires. They are less expensive to replace at the end of the leasse.
Cheers CarMan.
If the car was around 33k and was sold at 31k with around a monthly of 370 pretax, how much would the drive off fees be in southern california.
After reading this forum I am getting inspired to lease an '07 A4 2.0 Quattro Sedan! I am planning on trading in my '04 Merc C230 Coupe (bought it new in '04)with 30,800 miles on it. I dont intend to put any additional money down. I still owe approx $12K on my car. My credit rating is excellent (just checked a few days ago). I recently got offered $16-17K for my car by an Audi and Lexus dealer as a trade-in value (tho' at that time I was looking to buy). I want to keep my monthly payments below $417 (this is what i pay currently for the Merc). My absolute must haves for the Audi are - Auto, HID lamps, sun-roof, heated seats, and Audi Care Pkg. I live in WA so the tax here is 9.1%. What do you reckon would be a really good deal to negotiate with the local dealers? Even if you give me a range that'd be great. I have never considered a lease option before and if I do decide to go for it, it'll be my first time. Please let me know if I should watch out for anything during the negotiations. Thanking you all in advance!
I have following offer from my deal
$34,635 Silver/Black 2.0 Quattro:
426/mo 12k miles year
415/mo 10k miles year
Total cash down: 1500
Looks like it is around most folks range.. does have any recommendation.. Afraz
My question: Can I legally request the dealer for a new car and refuse the car being repaired even though I drove it for 3 days and 160 miles?
Thanks
I have a question regarding a lease.
I currently have a 2004 A4 1.8T Cabriolet, with sport suspension, and heated seats. 40k miles. It's pretty basic. Current payments are $500 with tax included.
My lease is up in a couple of months and I'm looking at getting into the 2007 A4 2.0 CVT Cabriolet. The MSRP for the car is 42,500
I'd like to put little or no money down, have them take over the final payments and roll all the license and registration, deposit and all the rest into the payments.
Would you have some recommendations of what a reasonable monthly for this situation would be? I'm hoping to put as little money down as possible and put all the other fees into the monthly for ease.
Thanks a lot for your response.

Get the Audi Care package because it is $550, but it raises your residual by 1%, so it really raises your monthly payment by about $4-5/month
THere is a web site on linked in this forum somewhere that will show you everything you need to know about how to calculate the lease payment, and it helped me a lot.
When I was at the dealership and I knew what I was talking about it helped me negotiate a deal at invoice and at the bank buy-rate. Only thing I couldn't get enough money for was my trade in.
Anyway, hope this helps a little. Check out about 3-pages back for the link to the lease calculation example. will help you with all you need to know.
Why would there be these two deals that are essentially the same, yet offer different rates? Also, is there anyone that is familiar with this program, and are there any additional risks than that of a lease?
Our Premier Purchase* option combines the rewards of ownership with many of the benefits of leasing. As with purchasing, the title of the car is in your name and every payment you make builds ownership. But like leasing, your monthly payments may be lower.
At the end of your contract, there is a final payment called a "balloon payment," which is predetermined at the beginning of your contract. Audi Financial Services offers you the following three options at the end of your contract:
Pay off your contract balance, which includes the final balloon payment on the vehicle, and you take ownership of your Audi.
Finance your final balloon amount.
Return the vehicle. Just notify us 30 days prior to your contract end date and make arrangements to turn in your vehicle.
I hope this helps a little.

I have also considered starting the replacement lease earlier than Dec (like soon) to overlap a bit and spread the miles out a bit. But this has two issues I see - more insurance, plus I doubt I will avoid the $350 turn-in fee that is typically waived when you re-lease.
Any ideas on best way to proceed?
Also, historically, what is best time to lease? I was happy with the deal on the 2005 because new models were just about out and the money factor worked out to 0.6% int. I know that was a little unusual because new models were coming mid-year. I was set to buy cash, and decided why bother when they'd basically float me the car interest-free - good decision since that $38K has been in the stock market making great money the past couple of years! So what is the best time for balancing residual vs. MSRP to get best net cost? I don't have to have the latest model if it matters.
Thanks for any advice!
I would love your opinion.
I was offered this deal in Socal.

Is this a good deal, does it match your calculations? and what would 12000 miles a year work out to?
Thanks
thanks
thanks for any help
(my credit got ruined due to identity theft--so putting it under my name isn't an option)
Would it be possible to start a new business (s-corp), and qualify for the same lease under my business (even if it's only 1 week old)?
What's the cost difference between a personal and business car lease? how about the cost of insurance?
Basically, i want to be able to write off this lease on my taxes (because car would be used 60% for business) ... so i'm not sure if i'll even be able to do that, if the car was under my father's name, therefore the business lease would come into play.... so not sure which would be more "cost affective"...
Thanks for any input on this.
-ales
side note: i also just became and "independent contractor" , and i am planning on starting an s-corp for better taxes.
I think your tax related questions could be answered best by a good Tax consultant.

If you are set on getting a new A4 now, I can give you an idea of how much it would cost to lease one. I just need some additional information from you first, including the car's approximate selling price, how long you want to lease it for, and how many miles per year you need to be able to drive it. You should be able to get an idea of what sort of selling price to expect by visiting the following discussion: "Audi A4: Prices Paid & Buying Experience".
