    A discount from MSRP is not a CAP cost reduction. Cap cost reductions are payments you make (or are made for you by rebates/incentives) off of the selling price.

    Hi,

    I spoke to a dealer and got a sale price number. Before I go in with further negotiations, I'd like to understand how the Edmunds lease calculator is giving me such a high payment.

    All numbers below are rough estimates:
    1. MSRP - $36000
    2. Sale Price - $33000
    3. Residual (36mo/15k) - 58% (as provided by Edmunds above in this thread)
    4. MF: 0.00126 (3%)
    5. Acquisition Fee: $595
    6. Title/Reg: $488
    7. Other Misc Fees: $500
    8. Taxes

    I'm getting an approx. figure of $420, instead the calculator is giving me around $480.

    Can't say, as I don't see your inputs into the calculator. We don't use that, we just do the math.

    At $36K and $33K, and not adding in 5, 6, 7 or 8, I get $405/mo.

    Hello,

    Thanks for all your help on the forums. I hope I have enough of the right information.

    (2016) Premium Plus 2.0 Quattro

    MSRP: 39350
    Discount: 2230
    Rebate: 750
    Trade: 7000
    Sales tax: 830.00
    Doc Fee: 75.00
    Fees: 1241.00 (Acquisition fee (695.00), along with tabs and some other minor fee)
    Amount owed on trade: 7000
    MF: .001260
    Lease term: 36mo/15,000 year
    State: MN

    I'm being quoted $550.0 on a 36 month lease with $0 down, which seems really high for this car. I'm wondering where in this deal, if any, is there room to negotiate a better price/payment. I feel like I'm overpaying. Any insight is appreciated.

    .00126 MF and 56% residual

    If you are rolling in the 1st payment with $0 due at signing, then the math is correct.

    The 2016 A3 doesn't have a great lease program.

    Shucks! Thanks for the information. Is there a certain time of year, after the new model year release, that Audi tends to get more aggressive with their lease options?

    Lease numbers for the 2016 A3 2.0T Prem + are .00126 and 56% for 36/15.

    So, you are getting the base MF, which is a good start.

    Are you paying the fees and taxes up front or adding them into the selling price?

    If I use $36,370 as the cap cost (MSRP - discount - rebate), then I get a pre-tax payment of $471.76/mo. Quite a difference from the $550/mo quote.

    I'm adding them into the selling price. This lease would be zero down.

    Adding everything in takes the payment to $534/mo. Still almost $600 difference to the dealer quote ($16 x 36).

    Thanks for providing this information. I feel much more confident negotiating with the dealer. Thanks for your help!

    They have changed the deal and are now proposing a premium instead of the premium plus. (36/15k - $470.00 month, with $0 down) Additional details below on car etc.

    2016 premium 2.0 Quattro
    MSRP 37220
    Discount 2991.02
    Rebate: 750
    Selling Price after above mentioned discounts and rebates: 34,478.98
    Same details as above in regards to my trade and fees, though my sales tax will be slightly less.

    The MF is the same on the Premium, but the residual is 2% higher (58%). Coupled with the lower MSRP and selling prices, this results in a payment (pre-tax) of $400/mo. Assuming sales tax is around $600, and adding that and the other fees into the sale price, I get a payment of about $455/mo.

    Hi,

    I am in a bit of a dilemma here between financing or leasing.

    Lease Quote:
    MSRP: 42790
    Discount: 6790
    Selling Price: 36000
    Doc Fee: 80
    License/Title: 363
    Tire/Battery Fee: 8.75
    ELF/Weight: 29
    Acquisition Fee: 695
    Tax on Collected Items: 46.59
    Capitalized Initial Fees: 467.59
    Total Cap: 37,689
    Rebate: 1000
    Net Cap: 36,689
    MF: 0.00126
    Residual: 56%

    I have a quote of $467.59/mo for a 36mo./15k lease with 0 down(the rebate is used as a minimal down payment). I think this is a great deal, but would love an expert's opinion.
    Upon calculating this - 467.59*36 = 16833 + 1250 (excess wear package) -> my 3 year cost is $18083.

    However, if I finance with the same selling price of 36000-1000 = 35000
    Sale price: 35000
    Tax: 3062
    Title/Other Fees: 400
    Total Amount = $38462
    With 18k down, and 20462 financed at 1.9%/3yr, total cost = I would own the car for 39066

    Now, assuming I sell the car in 3 years at Edmunds and Audi's seemingly low residual rate of 56%, assuming I sell the car for 56% off MSRP(42790) = 23962. That means, in 3 years I would have paid 39066 - 23962 = 15103

    Therefore, assuming I sell the car well maintained for that kind of residual, my lease cost is turning out to be 2980 more over 3 years. I would really like some advice on whether my assumptions on selling are justified, and if so, should one lease or buy here ? Is there any incentive for me to lease here / maybe get a good buy out deal after 3 years or something ? Otherwise, the lease is not making sense to me vs. financing.

    The dealer has started the paperwork for lease, but I haven't signed the contract. They only did a quick DMV Transfer of Ownership, and a Lease Application. I am assuming that I can change my mind and tell them that I want to finance instead ? Will that be OK ?

    Thank You so much.

    It's more a matter of how long you plan on keeping the car - if you trade often, then a lease may make more sense.

    If you haven't signed any paperwork, you shouldn't have any problem telling the dealership you want to buy instead of lease.

    Hi there. I am in the Boston area looking at a 2016 A3 2.0 Premium for 36/12k. I was quoted a MF of 0.00141. Could you tell me if there is room to negotiate this? I am happy with the price but hoping to do better on the finance charge. Thank you!!

    2016 A3 2.0 Premium for 36/12k - .00089 and 59%. So yes, definitely room to get the MF down.

    Politely but firmly tell the dealer you won't sign a deal with an inflated MF. And, reach out to other Audi dealers - it only takes one to make a deal on your terms.

    Hi,

    I am in a bit of a dilemma here between financing or leasing.

    Lease Quote:
    MSRP: 42790
    Discount: 6790
    Selling Price: 36000
    Doc Fee: 80
    License/Title: 363
    Tire/Battery Fee: 8.75
    ELF/Weight: 29
    Acquisition Fee: 695
    Tax on Collected Items: 46.59
    Capitalized Initial Fees: 467.59
    Total Cap: 37,689
    Rebate: 1000
    Net Cap: 36,689
    MF: 0.00126
    Residual: 56%

    I have a quote of $467.59/mo for a 36mo./15k lease with 0 down(the rebate is used as a minimal down payment). I think this is a great deal, but would love an expert's opinion.
    Upon calculating this - 467.59*36 = 16833 + 1250 (excess wear package) -> my 3 year cost is $18083.

    However, if I finance with the same selling price of 36000-1000 = 35000
    Sale price: 35000
    Tax: 3062
    Title/Other Fees: 400
    Total Amount = $38462
    With 18k down, and 20462 financed at 1.9%/3yr, total cost = I would own the car for 39066

    Now, assuming I sell the car in 3 years at Edmunds and Audi's seemingly low residual rate of 56%, assuming I sell the car for 56% off MSRP(42790) = 23962. That means, in 3 years I would have paid 39066 - 23962 = 15103

    Therefore, assuming I sell the car well maintained for that kind of residual, my lease cost is turning out to be 2980 more over 3 years. I would really like some advice on whether my assumptions on selling are justified, and if so, should one lease or buy here ? Is there any incentive for me to lease here / maybe get a good buy out deal after 3 years or something ? Otherwise, the lease is not making sense to me vs. financing.

    The dealer has started the paperwork for lease, but I haven't signed the contract. They only did a quick DMV Transfer of Ownership, and a Lease Application. I am assuming that I can change my mind and tell them that I want to finance instead ? Will that be OK ?

    Thank You so much.

    this is really a nice calculation and interesting way to look at it. does it realy work this way? would you really get 56% of the car when you go to sell it 3 yrs down?

    also am wondering with all this VW issues, does it make sense to wait and get a much better deal on these cars? has anyone seen difference in the pricing over the last month or so?

    Audi has been pretty good with their residual estimates - unlike other manufacturers who inflate the residual for a more attractive lease payment. However, that doesn't guarantee the value of your car should you try to sell it on the open market.

    Regarding the value of VW's (and Audi's) due to the recent unpleasantness, I think it's still too early to say what will happen to the gas models. TDI models, of course, have not been approved for sale in the US, at VW's request.

    Is this the 1.8T Premium?

    .00068 and 57%.

    I get $375/mo + tax with your pricing. The doc fee of $798 is pretty outrageous; I would work to get a lower selling price to mitigate that.

    Is this a good lease deal? I live in California, 8% tax.

    2016 Audi A3 Cabriolet, 2.0T QUATTRO Premium Plus
    -Technology, 19" wheels, S line style package, sport package, B&O sound system, steel pedal caps

    MSRP: $50,720
    Lease Term: 36 month, 12K mi a year
    Down Payment: $1800 including 1st month payment, fees, taxes, and drive off
    Monthly payment: $508 or $549 including tax

    I think it's a great deal, but I just want to make sure since I've never leased an Audi. Also, how much more a month is Audi Care if I roll into these payments??

    .00034 MF and 55% residual.
    To evaluate the payment we would need the selling price. and/or CAP cost.

    On the surface, it looks like a good deal.

    Audicare is $829, but raises the residual by 1%. Should only raise the payment by about $10/mo., if you roll it in.

    How is everyone getting thousands off the selling price? I'd love to lease a 2016 A3 Premium Plus 2.0T, florrett silver, tech package, sport package and B&O.

    MSRP - $42,850
    Truecar - $40,702

    With the numbers I've seen above for MF/Res I get $553/mo (8.475% sales tax per month, sigh) for 36 months 12k/yr.

    Is it unrealistic to get this under $500/mo?

    Also, I see a lot of people posting $1,250 rebates... How do you get those?

    Use the "Car Research" tab at the top of the page to show current incentives.

    $50/mo is about $1800 .. that's how much more off the sticker you'd need to get.

    .00089 and 57% are the lease numbers.

    $2000 off sticker is about 5% ... not bad for a brand new 2016.
