A3 2015 lease
I want to lease A3 2015 msrp 36995. Audi asking for usual destination fees etc and first month lease for $1600, then $427/month for 3 yr, 36k. They are not telling me residual or money factor, but they are paying off the 3 months left on my current lease with another company. Is this a good deal? Or can I still negotiate down some? Thanks

Things to know before leasing?
Model and trim line
Selling price
Net CAP cost
Money factor
Residual
Tax rate
We can give you the money factor and residual, but you didn't say which A3 you are interested in.
On your current lease: Are they taking your car in trade, and then buying out the lease from your current lessor? Or, are they just cutting you a check for the final three payments? Or, are they just making the final three payments to the bank, and returning your car (which could leave you open to lease end charges).
Those are important questions to ask.

I am looking for A3 premium 2.0 with AWD, driver assist and cold weather packages, and iPod input.
They are cutting me check for final 3 patents of my current lease.
Tax rate in MA is 6.25%.
Do I have room to negotiate?
.00097 MF and 60% residual.
Assuming payment is $402/mo.+tax, the CAP cost at the base MF would be about $34,700. That's a little over 6% off MSRP.
That seems like a fair price, considering they are giving you an amount back to pay off your lease..
I would be careful with turning in your old lease... just making the payments in advance doesn't always mean you can turn it in early. If they consider it an early termination, you could be on the hook for quite a bit of money. Would you still do this deal, if you had to hold on to your car and pay the insurance for three more months, before turning it in?
Another way to look at it.. If you wait until your current lease is up, you should be able to negotiate a price that is lower by the amount of those three payments..

.00122 and 58% for 2.0 Quattro
Dealer is inflating the MF on you, either way.

It's going to be close to a wash with the higher money factor... Plus, the 2.0Q is going to have a higher price.. you aren't going to be able to move up without paying more. It all depends on if you want/need AWD.

Yes.. 6% seems to be about the best discount you can get on an Audi that doesn't have other incentives.

What is the MSRP?
Does that include tax? If so, what state and tax rate?
Is $1000 the full amount due at signing?

.00097 MF and 55% residual.
Adding on the $695 acquisition fee to the CAP cost, I get $528/mo.
If they are using those numbers, it looks like around $1000 more in your deal... for something else..

Current deal on the Premium Plus car, msrp of $35,490, $0 down, $1,200 due at signing for inceptions, qualify for first month's payment and $500 a3 incentive (not sure what they call it), $399/mo tax-in. I haven't asked for specifics yet but I assume that's about $2,500 cap cost reduction, or about 7% off/dealer invoice price. Do you think there's much more wiggle room? Looking to be at $370/mo tax-in.
What is the actual net cap cost on the deal you've been offered? 7% off sticker is pretty good - we advise 4-6% off for Audi.
And, what state and tax rate is this?

I have tier 1 credit (over 780), want to put down as little as possible, but willing to put down $1500 or so if it pencils out. Not sure what I could get them down to in price of the car - is the TMV $32,352 likely?
Also, I want a 24, 30, or 36 month lease with 12K miles/year. Not sure what money factor they might offer, what is actually fair, and what the projected residual value would be? I live in CA, local sales tax is 7.50%. What am I potentially looking at in terms with the money factor, residual value and terms for the monthly and amount due at signing?
Up front costs will include first month's payment, acquisition fee, and state mandated fees and taxes - $1500 or so sounds about right.
Negotiate the best selling price you can - that, more than anything, will keep your payment low.
When you have the MSRP and selling price, we can model the payment for you.

If the numbers are different for the 1.8 can you provide those numbers also.
1.8T Premium - .00033 MF and 54% residual
Add 2% for 12K/yr or 3% for 10K/yr

We would also need to know the MSRP and the selling price in order to model a payment.

Why would the selling price be higher than the MSRP? Are the numbers reversed?

FWIW, 36 months is the sweet spot for Audi leases, in general. .00062 and 59% for the 2.0T Premium.

We don't follow selling prices, so don't know if your discount is good, but they are tacking on a $700 doc fee, which is outrageous...
$468/mo. for a $32K MSRP car is not a good deal.. If that's the best you can do on an A3, I'd shop for something else.
