I recently closed a deal for an A4 Premium Plus Quattro with Sports Pkg and Audi Advanced Key.
The MSRP of the car is$41,155
Negotiated Selling Price: $39,180
Additional Rebate: $1000 (Because my household has a new Infiniti as well)
Audi Care: $800 (rolled in)
Residual: 56%
MF : .0015 (I think somewhere around there. First time buyer on a Visa in US)
Term: 39 months
Down: 1500 (including first month payment)
Monthly: $570 (including TTL)
How good or bad did I do?
You're right Audibuyer - I'd never put that much down on a lease because if something happened and the car was totaled you'd lose out on whatever you've put down.
Heard the audi loyalty rebate isn't valid on the is the avant? Is that correct?

Here is the deal I was offered if I do it by end of month(tomorrow).let me know if you think it's good.
Premium plus, 6 spd manual quattro: Monsoon gray with sport pkg, b&o sound, dark wood inlay
Msrp: $40,900
Selling price: $37,660 (not sure where this comes from, I get a slightly higher selling price when i back into it when I use monthly payment)
cash down: $1000+ dealer keeps loyalty rebate of $750= $1750
Lease rate: .00098 or 2.35%
Mileage/term: 15k per year/36 months
Residual: 55% or $22,495
Other fees: acquisition fee of $695, doc fee and plates $477, first month lease payment of $511=1683
maintenance pkg: $800 ( bumps up residual 1%)
monthly payment: $481 + tax of $30 or $511
Dealer is also taking in my 2010 a4 lease in 11 months early which has a payoff of $24200 and has 36300 miles or about 5k miles over prorated limit. He claims it is a wash for him, but I am trying to get him use part of this " trade in" to remove the 1k down. Kbb is giving a trade in value of $25800.
Msrp: $40,900
Selling price: $36000 (includes dealer keeping loyalty rebate of $750)
Out of pocket: $1000
Lease rate: .00098 or 2.35%
Mileage/term: 15k per year/36 months
Residual: 55% or $22,495 (bumped up 1% due to Maint Pkg)
Acquisition fee of $695, doc fee and plates $477, first month lease payment of $500 and maintenance pkg of $800 rolled into lease
Monthly payment: $470 + tax of $30 or $500
The only other quote I got from another dealer was $623 ($123 higher) a month. The low selling price may be partly becuase I turned in a very attractive lease car (2010 A4 premium with 36k), but no dealer I spoke to was giving me any credit for being rightside up, everyone was saying it was just a wash.
For kicks I called a BMW dealer and without much negotiation got 36m/15k lease quote for a 2011 328ix with MSRP of $42100 for a rate of $505 with only 1K out of pocket. Pretty sure with more homework I could havegotten at least another $60 off or 2k lower selling price. But love the A4 so stayed with Audi.
Thanks in advance for you help , I am looking for a good deal on the following leases.
Audi A4 Premium Quattro 36 month lease with 10k miles what should be the money factor and residual for top credit tier?
and
Audi A3 Premium TDI 36 month lease with 10k mules what should be the money factor and residual for top credit tier?
Cheers1
I'm trying to lease an A4 Premium model with A/T (base front wheel drive without any additional options).
What's the current lease like on this model for 10,000 miles per year for 36 months? I'm interested in both 0 down or 2500 down.
Also, when you say residual is 54% for example, is this 54% of actual MSRP before discount or after discount?
Thanks in advance!
MSRP is MSRP.. That has nothing to do with selling price...

Audi Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2012 A4 Sedan Premium quattro with 10,000 miles per year are .00080 and 56%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of a 2012 A3 TDI Premium are .00141 and 57%.

Oops i thought I was getting a bad deal but now I see that Money Factor is higher on a TDI model.
They also informed me that 10k is the minimum miles even though I only need 7.5k is that true?
I hate to abuse of your confidence but I am now thinking of a Audi A6 Premium Plus 2.0T, can you help me with numbers for 36month/10k and 36month/7500?
Thanks Again,
William
Audi Financial Services' March buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2012 A6 Premium Plus 2.0T with 10,000 miles per year are .00056 and 51%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.

If I use the money factor and residual provided by Car_Man above (thanks!), that means they reduced Cap Cost to approx $31,900. Which is $500 over invoice.
What are your thoughts?
It looks like a decent deal, but I haven't been tracking A4 leases for long. Will this deal stay? Or is it temporary? My current lease isn't up until Aug so I have a few months to lock something else down.
It looks like Audi and Infinity are dealing on the leases, they're several thousand cheaper than Merc or BMW counterparts.
thanks for your help
I would finance balance for 2 years and drive for at least another 3 years.
Questions:
1. Is this a good investment or simply the dealer trying to make $3K++ off me?
(Just had a friend hit year 4 (post warranty) with a BMW and got hit with $3K in engine / computer repairs so this investment might be worth considering)
2. Are there better deals through Warranty Brokers that will provide comparable extended warranty coverage? If so, any recommendations?
I am in the same boat as you are... my 2009 A4 lease is up and I am planning to purchase at the end (in a week) - it is interesting coz I was quoted 2.99% and the warranty is optional - it is up to us - I highly doubt they can tie up the rate to warranty. the rate should be tied to your credit score.
also - is buying at the end of the lease a better option than to lease a new one?
if I buy it is coming out to approx 434 per month - and if lease a new one - I was able to get it down to approx 510 (exact same car) - i wonder if those $75 more is worth not dealing with a car that has 50K miles on it.

Just make sure that the dealer takes the $750 loyalty cash or $1,000 conquest cash into account if you are eligible for either.

it's totally stupid too. so i can buy the car for 30 and sell it to the dealer for 30. i send the morons in inglstaad a check and the dealer hands me a check. it's just an extra step for me to get out of this horrible bull. but yeah, THEY MAKE ME PAY TAXES ON IT!!!!! ABSURD! DO NOT LEASE WITH AUDI!
I have a supplier certificate that lets me have the car at invoice price... now - is invoice price a GOOD DEAL? or can we go lower?
any thoughts? please let me know.
Hi all!! I'm new to this forum and have never really leased a car on my own, my 2 previous Audi's were negotiated by & registered under my father, and was hoping you could give me some advice. I will be leasing a new car this week, and will likely choose an A4 again. I went to an Audi dealership in NJ and they gave me the following lease deal:
2012 Audi A4 2.0T Sedan tiptronic quattro in brilliant black with beige interior and:
-dark walnut wood inlays
-heated fron seats
-convenience package
-exhaust tips v/o
-style package
Lease for 36 months, 12,000 miles per year:
- without AudiCare- 1692 down for basic inceptions and first months payment, $412.50 per month including taxes OR
-With AudiCare (which I will likely choose), $1706 down, $426.04 per month including taxes.
The msrp for this car is $38,375 and the invoice amount is $36,133.50. I honestly don't know what the selling price is or should be. I was wondering if someone could tell me if this is a good deal or not, and what the buy rate lease money factor is for it (and how I would use that number). I was given the Audi loyalty incentive for presently owning another Audi.
Any help would be so greatly appreciated as soon as possible...I hope to close the deal this Thursday!!
Thanks so much
2012 A4 Premium Plus (non-metallic paint) Quattro 36 month lease, 12k/year, $2,700 Total Out-of-Pocket. Including last two payments = $570 (VW Jetta - a couple of scratches and dents) and disposition fee of $350 worked in the deal.
MONTHLY PAYMENT - $435/month.
Left a deposit today. Is this a good deal??????? Dealer in Northern NJ.
Note: Qualified for To Tier Credit.
Thanks for all your help
I have a quote for Audi A4 2.0T Premium Plus Quattro, 36months, 15K miles :
MSRP : 40250
Neg Price: 37495
Money Factor : .0008
Residual : 53% (21332.5)
Acquisition : 695
Cash (first month with tax+sec Deposit+Doc+Title fee) : 1427 (546.8+550+331)
Monthly payment(Base+tax) : 515.77+30.95
Is this considered a good deal? Do the numbers add up to give me the monthly payment right?
In addition, the car has 190miles on it and probably because people test drive on it. Will that give me any discount or 190 is nothing at all.
Really appreciate your help!

In short, the easiest way to get a good deal on a leased vehicle is to shop around for the lowest possible selling price and then have the dealer that you decide to go with calculate your vehicle's monthly payment using its buy rate lease money factor.
If I was in the market for an A4 in your area right now, I personally would shoot for a selling price of $500 or so over dealer invoice before the deduction of any incentives. If you are a current Audi owner or lessee, you would be eligible for a $750 owner loyalty cash incentive on leases of this car. Make sure to take this cash into account.
Once you have negotiated a selling price that you are comfortable with, have the dealer calculate your monthly payment using Audi Financial Services' buy rate lease money factor of .00080.

You never mentioned this car's selling price, but you should shoot for a price of around $500 over invoice minus any available cash incentives.
