Can you please provide the MF and residual for a California lease of a 2011 Audi S5 Premium, 36 months and 48 months, 10k miles per year, above ave credit. The local dealers are advertising $699/mo +tax for 48 months at 10k/yr with $4k down. They will not give the terms so I am trying to figure out how they come up with this number.
Thanks,
Mark
Ok, Let me first tell you about my situation. I am Single 28 yrs old, just recently got a job and want to buy a new car. It should have sporty features but should also be a good value for my money.
I have test driven a few cars and have made my mind on 2012 Audi A5 and 2012 Audi TT. I am planning to finance this car for about 5 years and then maybe sell it off.
Please let me know which car would you recommend as my first sports/luxury car.
a few points that I have in my mind for these cars is as below:
1. Audi TT has been one of THE sports cars offered by Audi but Audi A5 is a little more spacious.
2. Both the cars have and I-4 engine, 212 HP and 258 lb-ft of Torque hence there is not much of a differentiation here.
Which one would be the right car to invest today as per my needs.
Or do you think i should go for a more powerful engine such as a V6 offered by BMW 338i coupe or Infiniti G37??
Any advise is highly appreciated.
Thanks!
I haven't seen the four year numbers, but I'll see what I can find out.

36 mos/12,000 miles
MSRP $48,850 - my cost $47,384
Northeast delivery
No money down (only security dep/taxes)
Top tier credit
MF .00203
52% residual
Good deal?
Can you give me the new money factor and residual % from AFS? I've been to three dealers in LA and the best deal I got---with the new July 5th buy rate---is $487 with taxes. Here are the stats:
Audi A5 Premium Plus
MSRP: $47, 625 (Navi, B&O, Sport Package with 19's)
Sell Price: $46,400
36 month lease
$10,000 down (total drive off)
I don't know if I should even get this car if the 2012 is coming out this month. Doesn't make sense on the resale if you ask me. Anyway, let me know about the MF and residual % when you get a chance. Thanks so much Car Man!

The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of an '11 model are .00127 and 50%.
I have to say that $10,000 is an awful lot of money to pay at lease signing. You would be better off putting as little down as possible.

Thanks so much! One thing I forgot to say is that I only need 10,000 miles per year, not 15000. Can you tell me how that affects the 2012 and 2011 numbers? What changes?
If I lease the car for, at best, 500 bucks with tax. After 36 months, I'll have paid 18,000 dollars. Add that to the 10,000 I put down and I'm 28,000 in the red. The buy back is approximately 25,000 at the end of the lease. That means I'm in the red for a total of 53k after 36 months.
BUT, if I sell the Audi for 40k, which is approximately what a 3 year old audi a5 goes for, then I am only in the red 13k for 3 years on an audi lease. The high resale value of the Audi makes it better to lease. I can buy back a car for 25 grand and sell it for 40 grand. That's due to the amazing resale of the audi (versus say the BMW which has a garbage depreciation rate).
On another note... If the bank says the car will be worth $25K in three years, it's really doubtful you can get $40K for it... That might be the asking price at a dealer, right now.. but, asking isn't getting.... and, they have many more resources to sell an expensive used car (financing, advertising, etc..).
And lastly... never go into a lease, assuming your total cost will be anything but the amounts you are required to pay during the term.. Anything else is just a gamble. In the real world, the chances of coming out with any equity in a car at lease end probably are very, very small...

Can you tell me if this is a good offer?
New 2012 Audi A5 Prestige for July delivery.
36 mos/12,000 miles
MSRP $48,850 - my cost $47,384
Northeast delivery
No money down (only security dep/taxes)
Top tier credit
MF .00203
52% residual
Thanks!
Thanks for your message. The 10k up front does not effect anything...except it does lower my monthly overhead significantly. That is just my preference. 400 bucks a month instead of 700.
Re: the lease, sure...anticipating market value is always a gamble, buying or leasing...but the odds "probably being very, very small" are just not true. I've been searching for 09 Audi A5's for 2 months. I know the market...I know what's sold on ebay, not just been auctioned, from private sellers...I know I was hawking a 2009 Prestige with 20k miles and it sold for 38k. Not from a dealer.
Thus, the odds that I can get AT LEAST 10k more than the 25k I pay for my car at the end of 3 years is very high...as my odds are supported by current 3 year old Audi A5s. I've weighed the pros and cons and crunched all the numbers. Resale value of an Audi is not just going to plummet by 35% randomly (from 38k to 25k).
The flat fact is that Audi A5s have a very low residual mark---53%, etc---and make it way too attractive to not buy at the end of the lease. BMWs on the other hand, with their 65 to 70% residual mark, have a purchase price at or above market value. Thus it is a bad investment.
So what do ya say car man, do you think you can give me those numbers for a 2011 and a 2012 lease at:
1) 10k miles per year with an Audi Premium Plus (Navi, B&O and Sport Package--MSRP 47,625)
2) Money rate?
3) Residual?
Thank you!

I've been really crunching the numbers with leasing and I can figure out why my numbers don't match an Audi Dealer's when we agree on the same factors for a 2012 A5. For example, I get them to agree on:
Money Factor: .00161
Drive off: $10,000
Sale Price: $46,400 (MSRP $47,625)
Residual: $28,100 (59%)
Miles: 10,000/yr
Term: 36 months
Add' Fees: $1000 (Acquisition, etc)
Lease calculators show the payment as being $399 with tax....yet these dealers quote me, AT BEST, $475 including tax. I just don't get where I am losing the money. I don't like not understanding something before I purchase...and I thought the lease principles applied are black and white.
Am I getting snaked? Let me know. You're the lease expert!
Thanks...much appreciated!
I went into a dealership yesterday and this is what was offered.
The car was approximately $40,200 MSRP and included Blue Tooth/Home Link, Ipod, heated seats and Audi Care.
The deal was for 39 months, 10,000 miles per year, $510 per month, and $3000 down.
This price includes my Audi Loyalty discount.
I am currently turing in an already paid off 2008 Audi A4 in excellent condition and the lease is officially up August 11th.
I had 36,000 miles but I only used 29,300 miles.
The first salesmen mentioned that I could use some of the equity in the car to lower the price. The same salesmen came back and told me there were a couple of dings and the car and that if I turned the car it would be awash. Later when I was talking to the salesmen's manager and about to leave the manager mentioned that there was equity in the car and I could use it should I choose to lease the car from them instead of leaving the dealership (My buddy and I sensed that the initial salesmen was full of bull regarding the car being awash)
Two questions:
With the equity bargaining piece in play can I get a better deal?
Am I getting a good deal at present?
I feel like I should be able to do better.
To put it in perspective I was able to get my last A4 with nothing down except registration and first months and I got Ipod, heated seats, audi care, and wood trim for $405 a month.
What do you folks think?
Thanks in advance!
I'm not trying to be a smart [non-permissible content removed] but even after having read your thought I don't see the point of putting 10K down on a lease and then buying the car. That has to cost you something more than if you simply buy the car from the get go no?
I've gone to a couple of dealerships and I think I got the price down to $1665 including registration and first month's payment. I also think I got the monthly payment down to $515.

2.0 Premium Plus
Phantom Black Paint

They offered me a 39 month lease, 10,000 miles a year, for: $600 a month and $4000 due at signing which they said covers first month payment, taxes, titles, tags, fees, etc...
The price of $600 a month is what the dealer told me as the first price of the car after running the #'s and he said that's after him taking $2000 off the price of the car. Is this truly the lowest they can go because A5's are in high demand or do I stand a chance to knock some more money off the monthly payment? Also, does $4000 due at signing sound normal? I've had 1 lease before and I can't be certain but I think out the door after 1st month, taxes, titles, tags, fees that I paid them like $1800 and that was for my G35 sedan which had monthly payment of $499. Am I taking a beating with what Im paying out the door as well?
Thanks for your help

I just got my 2011 A5 lease yesterday.
I really think I got the best price possible.
I got this in Southern California
(I went to four places and played them off against each other as all of you should do)
The problem with this car is that although it is 2011 and they are clearing them out for the 2012 it is a hot car and they are only willing to go so far.
The details are as follows.
I was turning in an 2008 A4 lease that was already paid off and in excellent condition and I only had 29,000 miles when I could have driven 36,000 etc.
I was able to get some equity out of the car on that end ($600)
Additionally I got the premium package with the audi care included.
No navigation but seriously in this day and age?
It had blue tooth, home link, IPOD connection and LoJack. (You have to activate the LoJack for a fee)
I got it for $1665 down (including first months and registration), 10K miles per year, and 42 months, and $550 including tax a month.
The overall price of the car was lowered by my audi loyalty discount ($750 and again the equity in the car)
At one point I really did think that I could get the car for $1665 and $500 month. No such luck at any of the dealerships.
Ultimately I got a dealer to agree to $534 and $1665 but unfortunately my credit wasn't good enough to get that price. (Just under 700)
Never the less I got a beautiful car that turns heads and is awesome to drive.
By the way, the first time I went into the dealership they pitched me $3000 down and $566 a month.
I hope that helps!

1) 33 mo, 13k miles

Please give me the money factor and residual for a 2012 A5 premium plus cabriolet for delivery in August.
I would want the lowest annual mileage they would write it for (10,000?) and would like to see figures for 36 and for 48 months. Thanks!
I'm considering a 2012 A5 Coupe Prestige, through work I can get it at invoice, which is $45,172. I'd be doing a 36 month lease with 15,000 miles a year.
Could you please let me know what kind of lease payment I'd be looking at, as well as the MF and residual?
Thanks!
Jake
I quote a 2012 A5 Prem Plus with Navi and Sport package $42648 he gave me the price of $3500 down and $569 per month.
but when i got home and make some calculation my self it turn out to be $529 per month with 0 down tax and fees not include.
With a down payment of $9,000 (the 10k that you mentioned minus the fees), this payment would drop to around $364.
Having said that, you definitely don't want to make that large a down payment when leasing. Consumers who make large down payments like that on leases risk losing part or all of the money that they put down if their vehicle is totaled in an accident or stolen and never recovered. It's much safer to go with a zero down lease.
