I'd like your opinion on an 2008 A6 3.2 Quattro.
MSRP $52,315, sell price $49,815. 15k per year, 36 months; MF .00040; residual 48%.
lease would be $0 down, $770/mth with tax included.
Audi is giving the dealerships $4,000 for selling a 2007 A6. When you figure the profit , difference between the MSRP and invoice, over $4,000. Then the dealer takes off their actual cost and gives the rest to the buyer. I.E. $4,000 factory money plus $3,500 +- profit after deducting the cost of pre-delivery (PDI), flooring and detailing with some advertising per vehicle. In my example $500. You get off of the vehicles MSRP about $7,500. Some dealers try and keep the factory incentive money $4,000 by not telling the buyer about it. Get informed before trying to make a deal!!
I made the same type of purchase last year on a 2006 A6 avant from Stevens Creek in San Jose,Ca
Your better off buying an 07 model. It's cheaper to lease an 08, even with a lot less money off the MSRP. Banks kill residuals at the model year end.
You are correct.
CAUTION!! Most if not all Audi dealers that lease the 07's will use US Bank. The money factor is high even with an 850 credit score. The real problem is that US Bank adds on the sales tax onto the early payoff. i.e. payoff $ 38,976,27 plus $3,187.18 California sales tax. So if as I was going to do,sell my A6 Avant to a private party after 1 year on the lease for $42,500 and I wanted to transfer it into the new buyer who would then pay thr use (sales) tax on his own. But no!! US Bank would not wave the #3,187.18 sales tax. I feel that is's like a pre-payment penality!! The solution is to return the leased vehicle back to the dealership whereas they would run the vehicle thru their shop for inspection as a lease return and have the new buyer give the dealer a check for the private party selling price ($4,2500) and then they (dealer) would pay off US Bank the $38,976.27 and give me the differance after charging me $300 for the inspection!! A great deal for the dealer as they get another quick used car sale and charge the new buyer for the doc, sales tax and other fees.
I think what I'm saying is that US Bank sucks!! I have sold BMW's, and Porches to private parties without experiencing the above problem.

I have ~3-4 payments remaining on my current 2.7T lease. I'm way under mileage however because family size has changed I may be shopping the SUV market outside of the Audi family, (the Q7 is just too big for wifey). One dealer (Infinity) has already offered to pick up my remaining payments. However what is my obligation (if any) to Audi regarding the ballon payment? Since they're not getting the car back and I'm not planning on purchasing at lease end is there any responsibility on me? Does the new dealer transfer this car back to them?
Any help explaining this end process would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Can you validate this? Was at an Audi dealership in NJ Friday and they told me that if I got an 2008 A6 4.2 with Interior Sports Package that the residual would be 2% less. Seemed fishy to me. So they told me for 36 months and 12K miles it would normally be 49%, but with the Sports Package it would be 47%. The money factor was .00040. Are they being straight with me?
Thanks,

You can call 10 different Audi dealers and they'll all tell you the same thing.
$701 monthly for 10K/36mo = $661 + 6% CT tax of $40
MSRP: $54,815
Net Cap Cost: $51,173 (includes $1,500 Audi loyalty rebate and $590 cost of Audi Care prepaid maint.)
Invoice: $51,500 (includes $775 destination charge and $500 for Audi dealer advertising payments)
Money Factor: 0.0004 (0.96% APR)
Residual: 52% (was 51%, but residual raised 1% when buying the Audi Care)
Lease End Value: $28,503.80
Fees: $1,057 = $575 acquisition, $239 conveyance, $95 reg, $148 taxes, security deposit waived
Total Driveoff: $1,758 = Fees + first monthly payment
TIA
I got a deal for $37.300 which is $10.5K below MSRP. I did a search on Google "2007 audi a6 discount" and it came up with a link to Craigslist. I called the dealer and got what I was looking for. I got pre-approved by Capital One, but they beat the rate by more than .5 point. More money saving there.

Good luck!!!
Audi's current lease ad was 549/mo plus tax with about $4500 due at signing, not including dealer fees. That was on a 50k A6 3.2 Quattro.
Can you give me the current (December) AF money factor and Residual value for a 36 month 15k miles a year lease for A6 3.2? aLSO ARE THERE cash back or insentives that I can use towards a AF lease?
Thanks
I'm looking to finalize a lease on a '08 A6 3.2. Would you please list money factor and residual on 36/15k. Also what is the difference in residual with or without Audi maintenance?
Thanks again
36/15k
MF .00020, Resid 47%
thanks.

Your last two emails have different lease information for the same car. Which is correct?

All 2008 A6's have the S line body treatments standard. It's basically the front chin spolier & rear painted lower valance.
It's the inteior S line upgrade with the sport seats, special wheel and trim on the inside you have to pay $2000 for.
1st month $736
3yr NJ Registration $371
lux tax (about 4%) $211.54
tire $7.50
doc & prep $148.50
bank $575
total fees=$2049.54
Included in the selling price, rolled into monthly payments are :
port fees $195
ad fees $273.49
What fees are covered by gap? Those are the only ones I want to pay upfront.
Are these fees in line? Sounds a little high to me. What do you think?
TIA
If you buy Audi maintenance resid goes up 1% to 48.

Can someone tell me that weather this is a good deal or not.
http://www.leaseguide.com/calc.htm
the $575 acquisition fee that the dealer is charging you is legitimate. AFS charges it on every vehicle that it leases and individual dealers do not have the ability to waive it. I usually look at the other non-state levied fees that you mentioned, like doc, ad, etc... as part of the total price of the vehicle that I am interested in. By focusing on the out-the-door price of the car that you want you can filter out all of the noise and focus on the big picture, which is you want to drive off in the car that you are interested in for the lowest total price possible. If this car's selling price, including all of the fees, is less than what you would have to pay for it at other dealers in your area it doesn't really matter how the fees break down.

Car Man I bought the car 2 Weeks ago Friday. For the price I gave you before. They told me they have hidden $3000 or so got from the dealer on top of the $1500 dealer cash. Hehe. They gave me some of that back too.
Your deal sounds questionable.
Also the A6 4.2: 36month/15k and the 42month/15k.
Thanks again

The car with $717 a month I posted earlier was sold. There were twins. The sold car had sunshades thats why $10.00 less than the payment.
How can you say it's questionable? This is the deal I got. The best part is there was 2 dealers who were willing to do this out of 8 dealers. And the car was also a dealer trade in not a car that they had in stock. They had to truck it and bring it at their cost to their dealership. If the dealer was loosing money I don't think they would go this far to sell a car! Thats why I beleive him when he said $3000 from Audi on top of $1500 dealer cash. Since 2 dealers was willing to do it that statement should be true.
You did well, enjoy the car.
TIA
