In your post you mentioned this car's MSRP and dealer invoice prices, but never what its specific selling price is. Are you implying that you are getting this car for invoice? If so, that is a good deal. If not, what is your car's selling price. Keep in mind that Audi is providing a $1,000 cash incentive on leases of this car in April to current owners of Audis or a number of other luxury brands.

Thanks again.
i bought the A6 2006 CVT 3.2 sedan with sunroof and prem.packages.
the Deal was...
for 24monthes 10,000 mile/year
$2200 singing pay...
Capitalized cost reduction $479.07
Taxes on Capitalized Cost reduction $37.13
Frist Month $650 (in tax)
no security Deposit,title,registration fees
Acquisition $575
License Fee $357
sales Tax $48.05
Documentary fee $ 45
CA tire Fee $ 8.75
Total $2200
(but it doesnt show on the paper even i purchased Dingfree option $200 for 2year)
so, total i paid in cash was $2200(include dingfree)
the Gross Capitalized Cost : $43729.59 (i think it is selling price right?)
and i paid CCR $ 479.05
so..
adjusted Capitalized Cost is $ 43250.52
the residual value was $ 29753.60
so.. how does carman think about this deal?
I live in NJ and look to enter into a 36month/15,000mile lease for a A6 3.2 with a premium package, sunroof package and navigation. The original MSRP is $50,440, selling price is $47,344 and adj selling price is $50,098 (capitalizing inception fees of: registeration $254, documentation $166, first monthly payment and 6% sales tax). Total Cap cost is $50,674. The dealership is suggesting a 51% residual and 0.00056 factor. Ignoring the $1000 rebate and assuming zero down payment, they are saying the lease payment is $735. Does that make sense, it seems high to me given the other posts here. Id love to hear your thoughts.
I've got a car for a trade... a 2004 S4 w/ 47000 miles. Kelly Blue book is for 27,000 trade in, they appraised it at 24,000. I owe 20,000 on my loan. They offered to pay my loan off and give me $700 a month lease rate.
The sticker on the A6 is 53,000. 3.2, Premium and technology package, sunroof and cold weather. I feel like I am getting the raw end of the deal here as I am not familiar with leases. Could someone please let me know if this is a good deal or what I should ask for..
Thanks in advance
Audi Financial has a lease special in my area on the A6 3.2. 36 months at $499/mo.
$499 down (incl $1,000 reduction if eligible for Loyalty Bonus - what is this bonus?), $575 acquisition fee, $499 first month payment, total due at inception - $1573
Is this as appears, or will there be numerous "exceptions" or added costs in order to close the deal? Would appreciate any thoughts or recommendations.
thanks
My take here is I have made 39 months of payments for 39,000 miles. The early termination statement reads they are charging me for miles over 36,000 as they state "milage prorated annually" (this is NOT in the contract). The car has 39,505 at turn in and had 162 when I received it. They are charging me for 3,343 miles over 36,000 not 343 miles over 39,000. I am paying for the same milage twice.
Help!!!!!

P.S. It looks like you are already aware of it, but don't forget to take the $1,000 incentive that Audi is currently providing to returning customers and to current owners of select competitive vehicles into account when negotiating your deal.

The sample lease that you saw is probably a decent deal, but like most manufacturers' advertised lease payments I would not be surprised if this one left a little meat on the bone so to speak. Consumers who live in areas that have a decent level of competition are often able to negotiate better deals on leases than the ones that are featured on ads.

I was at the dealer today to lease an A6 3.2q and left him a deposit of $500 to locate a light silver car with sunroof, premium package and a Sirus satellite radio. He gave me a lease number of $675 a month with NY taxes in payment for 12k/36 months. Here's the detail:
MSRP: $49,160
Sell Price: $46,100 (includes a $1000 cash incentive)
Money Factor: 0.000611
Residual Value: 53%
What do you think of the lease number and sell price?
Thanks,

I'm looking at an A6 3.2Q, MSRP $49,190, purchase price negotiated to $46,700.
The Premier Purchase offer is for $657/mo for 36 mos w/ $2500 down, $26,070 residual (53%). Rate is 3.35%. 12k miles allowed with 25 cents per mile overage.
The 3.35% rate and the 25 cents both strike me as a bit high. And, the 12k miles/yr seems a bit low (15k?).
The alternative is to do a std 60mo loan at 5.59% with $12,800 down.
What do you think about these #'s?
And it's the nest car I've driven in a lot of years.
Good luck to all.
MSRP of $43,840 including Destination.
Black & ameretto leather
Sirius Radio
In California.
I think I originally posted this under the wrong topic.
Audi is currently offering special lease terms on the A6 3.2 Q with Sunroof and Premium package until May 31. Its under specials on the website.
The MSRP is $48,640 and the Purchase Option is $26,266. For 10,000 miles a year its $499 per month. That requires $2499 upfront with a $575 acquisition fee. Based on my calculations, if you assume a cap cost at the invoice price of $44,956, (which I know is low) the interest rate is only 2%. Otherwise if you assume the cap cost is higher, then the rate is even lower.
Is this possible? Is this deal to good to be true?
Best of luck.
The previous A6 3.2 Quattro lease deal was 519 month 36/10K on a 46k base sunroof pack car. The current deal is $499 month, but they're giving you the $2500 premium package as well.
I'm assuming Audi is trying to clear off the 06's in anticpation for the 07's.
This is the best lease deal that Audi has ever offered on the new body stlye A6's.

Here is the deal I received on my recent A6. Just turned in my 2003 A6 and the new model makes a good thing even better !
A6 - CVT- Premium and Sunroof
Purchased in Dallas, TX
36 Month Lease
53% Residual
.00056 MF
Purchase Price 43,182
Tax - 540 (Texas typically hits you with the full 6.25%-would have been $2,700, but ask for the tax credit to reduce this to about 1.25%)
Title and Fees- $182
Acquisition- $575
Total Negotiated (amount financed) - $46,639.00
Money Down - $0 (paid my first payment and took the keys)
Total Monthly Payment - $602
Few Items of Note from my buying experience:
1. Not one dealer would participate in the Audi posted special ($499 A6 Quattro). Many acted completely lost on the deal.
2. Make sure you demand the MF rate that you see out on this site. I had one dealer acted offended because I was negotiating this rate as part of the package. I know that the "can" mark this up, but he was not happy that I knew the bottom line rate and would hold him to it (Needles to say I did not purchase at this dealership - Thanks Edmunds!)
3. In Texas since you have to pay the full tax on a lease car,make sure you ask for that Tax Credit. Without that credit the price of the lease would go up dramatically. It would have been an extra $2200 non-residualized, thus adding $62 to the monthly payment.
4. Negotiate those Fees. Those hidden charges that they don't want to detail in negotiations varied by $1000 between the dealership (again these are non-residualized an therefore equate to an extra $2000 on the price of the actual car)
5. Work your numbers and present them. With good spreadsheet and the knowledge from these forums, you can justify your numbers and what the monthly payment should be. If they are different from the dealers.... make them justify them. Can't tell you how many times the dealer has said "I just punched those numbers in the computer and this was the monthly price that it gave me". Every time the dealer has said this, it has show on further review that there was an undisclosed fee or different price in his numbers somwhere. Calculating a lease payment is not a mystery....it's a math formula!.
6. Never put $ down on a lease
Good Luck and thanks to everyone on this board for their advice. This is the 5th car I have leased using the knowledge gained from these forums and the leasing calculations on this site. I am sure there are better deals to be found than what I have negotiated, but I have never walked out with buyers remorse or felt completely taken by the dealer.
Happy Drivin!

I am not personally all that familiar with what the market is like for this car right now in terms of its selling price, but you may be able to get a good idea of how much you should pay by visiting the following discussion: "Audi A6: Prices Paid & Buying Experience".
As far as this car's lease program goes, if you were to lease a 2006 Audi A6 3.2 Sedan with quattro through Audi financial Services right now for 36 months with 12,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00056 and 53%, respectively.

Congratulations on a great deal. I have similar numbers and am in the North East. Looking for a similar car but would be willing to part with more $ if I could get Tech package, and wooden steering wheel (I am leaving a Jaguar S-Type, my second because their technology is stale...another story). I hope I can find a non Quat in the NE and that too is another story. But tell me, what is the Tax Credit. Is this a Dallas thing or an Audi thing.
Not sure if that is applicable in any other state, but is specific to the dealer, and not with Audi.
Good luck
many thanks for the great info.
I have never leased before, so I am uncertain of how much room there is to negotiate when Audi runs these promo's. I want to lease (with intent to buy after 36 months) an:
* A6 w/prem, sunroof, tech, & 18" wheels - MSRP $53,340.
When running these aggressive promo's - can I still negotiate a lower selling price & plug in the residual & mf #'s that are used for the promo into the lease calculator? Or when running these promo's is there not much room to move off the MSRP?
Thanks!
$499 per month
36-month lease
Down payment $3,499 (I do not qualify for Audi's $1,000 Loyalty/Conquest reduction)
Refundable security deposit N/A
Acquisition fee $575
Lessee responsible for $0.25/mile over 10,000 miles per year and a disposition fee of $350 due at lease end.
Rate based on $48,640 MSRP of 2006 Audi A6 3.2 quattro® Sedan with 6-Speed Automatic Transmission with Tiptronic, Premium package, Sunroof Package, and destination charge.
Purchase option at lease end for $26,265.60.
Any reaction to whether this is a good basic deal and where to negotiate on this?
I am buying in New York City and the New York Metropolitan area.
Thoughts????
Thanx

The selling prices of leased vehicles are absolutely negotiable. You can use the same money factor and residual value to calculate Audi's current advertised lease payments in conjunction with whatever price you are able to negotiate. There is usually a little room for additional discounts on advertised leases for consumers who live in areas that have a decent level of competition.

And that's only 10k miles a year with no taxes included.
I'd love to get a 4.2L A6 but for that price which only includes the basic 6-speed auto, sunroof, and 'premium' package (which are mostly things that are often standard on the competition's cars)... I have a hard time justifying it.
BTW, right now I'm at about the 12 month mark of a 24 month lease of an Audi A4 6-speed manual w/ sunroof package, XM, metallic paint, heated headlight washers, and 17" wheels (just listing the very spartan options) and paid absolutely zero down, about 800 due at least inception, 389 a month including all taxes and fees and 15k miles a year for 24 months. Now THAT is more like it.
