2017 Audi A4 Lease Questions

Kirstie_H

New 2017 Audi A4 2.0T Premium Plus Sedan
MSRP: $49,125
Negotiated Price: $42,000

State of SC Lease Offer:
12k miles/36 months/$5k down based on $42k selling price

Monthly payment: $435

Residual Value: $26,527.50
Money Factor:. 00120


This was quoted on 10/31/2017 and I plan to go back this week to try and make a deal. 

My questions are:

1.)  Is this a good deal? 
2.)  If not,  what parts do I need to renegotiate on?  

I fell like the selling price is pretty fair but the money factor strikes me as being high. 

Thanks!

Is it FWD or Quattro?

Either way, that's a massive markup in the money factor.
Why put $5000 upfront on a lease?

char2425

It is a AWD quattro model. 

The money down isn't required and more of a way to appease the wife in terms of monthly payments...

That's a perfectly valid reason for a big downpayment.

.00022 MF and 53% residual
That's one percent lower than the residual they gave you in October.

$5000 upfront:
$895 acquisition fee
$300 SC sales tax
$500 dealer/DMV fees (estimated)
$435 first payment (from previous quote)
$2870 CAP reduction.

$42000 minus $2870 = $39,130 adjusted CAP cost.
$378/mo. payment with base .00022 MF
$442/mo. with money factor marked up to .00120.

I'd work on that money factor.

If you get it down to .00022, you can put just $3000 upfront and still have that $435/mo. payment.

I have been trying to figure out why my lease calculations don't match the numbers from the dealer. this is for a 2017 A4 in south florida. Premium Plus and 12K/36 months with Audicare They claim they are using .00022 and 54% as the core numbers. (should the number be 55% with audicare?)

I keep coming up with under $500 for the payment, so I'm missing something.

My calculations are only a few cents off of that quote. Not sure what you're doing differently to get a sub $500 payment (with tax, I presume?)

nevets8

am I using the wrong MSRP? I was using 46925. perhaps I was not using the lease credit in the correct way. my technique has always been Negotiated price- .54 (MSRP) = depreciation I have to pay over the 36 months, plus the car rental fee which is the (negotiated price + residual) * the MF.

also: what about the residual? should they be using 55% since I have audicare?

It's (adjusted CAP cost - residual) = depreciation.
Not negotiated price, but adjusted CAP cost.

36/12 residual is 53%
+1% for AudiCare = 54%.

nevets8

so in the above set of numbers, what is my Adjusted Cap Cost? Is that the MSRP plus other charges?

nevets8

and do you think I have a good deal? After incentives & loyalty I am getting a 13% discount.

adjusted cap cost = negotiated selling price + taxes, fees you aren't paying up front - any up front monies

13% off sticker is good, but when we have all the numbers, we can give you a clear picture.

$5000 can be applied as discounts on sales price in lease calculation?

MSRP is $51950, the internet price listed is 46195. What sale price I should ask for?

That's how I interpret the program.

We always suggest you target 6% off MSRP, before applying any incentives.

Hello - I am in need of a new car and just test drove an Audi A4 Quattro Premium Plus. Loved it!

I am going the lease route for the first time and not real savvy here :-)

Hoping the following information would help if anyone may have input if this is a good deal or if I should run for the hills (I initially focused on the monthly payment):

MSRP: $49290
Selling Price: $44027
Fees / Taxes: $2150
Adjusted Cap Cost: $46897
Paid by customer: $781

After reading posts in this forum, I have asked what the residual and money factors are.

Thanks! - Chicagohonda72

2017 model?
What term/mileage?
What payment did they quote?
Are you in the city of Chicago, or outside the city limits?

Hello KYFDX - Really appreciate the quick feedback since a newbie at leases! I will see if I can answer your questions as I got a little more information.

1.This is for a 2018 Audi A4 Quattro Premium Plus
2. The lease is 36 mo. Quoted $619/month for 10k and $639/month for 12k. I think I need the 12k and hope to get the monthly payment down some - however, if this is a good deal, maybe unreasonable.
3. Chicago Suburbs. My tax is 7%. How is the capitalized tax calculated? They said $1840.

Also - Residual is based on MSRP. 10k is $27,110; 12k is $26,124
Money is .00093

Thanks in advance!

Looking for rv/mf and any incentives on the following and if you know what Audi's mileage penalty is on loaners as I've never leased with them before

A4 P+ Quattro - 24 & 36 mo - 10k
A4 Prestige - 24 & 36 mo - 10k

Premium Plus:
.0002 MF and 60%/53% residual for 24/36 mo.
Subtract 5% from residual for Prestige trim.

$1000 marketing allowance
$1000 Aged Inventory Allowance (must have option code AG1)
$5000 Aged Demonstrator Support (must have option code D02)

The first two incentives can be combined, but they are dealer incentives. They should be reflected in a lower selling price, but they aren't consumer incentives.

The last incentive is also a dealer incentive, but can't be combined with any other incentive.

Sorry, but we have no info on the residual reduction for mileage.
