    Thanks for the response.

    I haven't been quoted a monthly payment or total due upfront. I've been trying to nail down the parameters of the deal first. They will be sending along that info. this morning.

    My calculations tell me that the monthly payment will be $424 per month if I pay taxes, tags, and the acquisition fee up front (in addition to 5 additional security deposits), and roughly $500 if I fold these costs into the cap. cost.

    I'll get back with you when I hear from the dealer. . .

    Your responability is the payments. If you turn the vehicle in now Audi will take it to auction and you willl be responsible for the difference up to your remaining payments. BUt it is not the full payment. They deduct the outstanding interest(service charge. The clock is ticking at 25 cents/mile so best to do it now.

    Being someone who used to run a leasing company, keep the money in your pocket! I am about to lease my 2nd Audi and I am only coming up with the first payment. Raises the monthly payment around 20-25 dollars

    Hi, New to the site but I used to be in the business years ago. i just got what i believe to be a great deal. Getting an A4 cab fwd, heated seats, premium pkg., maintenance pkg.
    One dealer quoted mt 620/mth with mass sales tax and where i'm getting it 601/mth with tax.If i pay 800 upfront, 325/mth. I am doing 23,000 miles per year on a 36 month lease. what am i paying per mile over?
    I believe I'm paying close to invoice

    You want to lease on 23K/year? :surprise: :surprise:

    Lets see - standard leases are 15K/year, I heard of people buying up to 18K, perhaps 20K. That still leaves say 3-5K/year*3 years = 9-15K miles. Mileage penalty is usually 20-25c, so we get $1800-$3750. Do you still want to lease? ;)

    Yeah - it's certainly better then after. But this kind of mileage it still may be better to buy. It becomes a simple math problem - what costs less total.

    Remember they may still apply 15K standard on wear and tear so the after return fees may be killers, too. I would be extremely weary leasing with expected mileage like that - unless of course it's not my money you're paying with at the first place ;)

    Thanks for the advice. I know the business and high milege drving is even more reason to lease. This will be my 2nd Audi lease and they are great. If my figuring is correct a 5 or 6 year loan would still have a higher payment.
    So if I did that and went to trade the car after 3 years, I would be upside down in the car! Plus have to deal with higher repair costs.
    The residual at lease end is about 22k, will the car be worth that? Who knows!
    They base the wear and tear on the milege contracted for.
    People are buried in cars they don't want today because they take out long term loans to make the car affordable. One should let the leasing company worry about value.
    Anyone who owns a sport utility today with gas being what it is, try to trade it and get what you owe!

    Agreed, in principal. Of course other people take low-mileage leases on their 50 mile one-way commuters also to make payment lower and then scream bloody murder when overcharges come. Most people get burried in cars they don't want cause they could not afford them at the first place, regardless of transation type.

    You seem to know what you're doing - I was just making sure ;)

    I'd like to at least have the option of making multiple security deposits on my upcoming lease. However, the dealer I'm working with said that MDS's will NOT reduce the money factor on the car I'm looking at, an A4 Avant.

    I called Audi Financial Services's main phone number and they deferred to the dealership on this.

    Is Audi offering MSDs? Where can I go to get "official" confirmation of this? I submitted the same question on this board back in March and was told that MSDs are available - has this changed?

    I agree with you 100%. I used to be in the business and actually had my own leasing company and warned people about low milege leases and knew froma trade in they were in trouble. People sometimes don't listen!
    Thanks for your input

    How much are you paying for the car and how much are you getting off sticker?
    What dealer are you going to?

    What is the validity of a "port fee" of $495 tacked on to Boston area Audi invoice?

    Deal offered at Bernardi Audi, Natick:

    A4 Avant 2.0T Quartz grey - automatic tiptronic w/ conv. pkg., premium pkg. , bluetooth, and heated seats (no nav, no Bose premium audio) w/ Audi Care maintenance. 15k mi/yr./36 month lease.

    MSRP: 37,585
    Invoice 35,376 (w/ $495 "port fee" included - above $34,881 Edmunds invoice)
    Offered Price: 35,676 ($300 over "invoice")
    AND they would take care of last payment on 03 A4 sedan lease turn in - 390.00

    MF: .00082
    res: 54%
    payment:479.86 (+5 % Mass. tax = 503.85/month)
    Down: $1,493.35 - $575 aquisition fee + tax 28.75, first month payment 503.85 AND 385.75 doc/reg./title fee - (this includes high $294 doc fee.)
    No security deposit.

    Is this 54% res. value correct or too low?

    I take exception to the high doc fee and wanted to know legitimacy of "port fee" on their dealer invoice?

    Any thoughts or experiences would be welcome!

    Thanks.

    other dealers are higher on doc fee. It's a rip off but according to state law they have to charge the same to everyone. I tried to get that down. I'm getting my new car at Bernardi as well.

    did the lease offer sound like a good deal?

  • cars0153cars0153 Posts: 45
    Yes, Their deal was the best must you must ask for it. I got a quote from chambers and they match the price. The salesman was much more professional at Bernardi. I dealt with Dave. What about you?

    That sounds good. The deal I am being offer is for a 43400 MSRP, $40,400 Sale Price, $4K drive off and $500 a month for 36M, 12K Miles. The residual is 56% and .0093

    they said Sline makes the residual go down. Is this true? It seems like you are putting less down and have the same payment on a more expensive car. Does your model have different MF and Residual?

  • cars0153cars0153 Posts: 45
    Actually your car stickers for more. I am doing 23k/year for miles. I am doing a FWD cab. Mine stickers for 41 and change. It is possible the residual is lower. I shopped pretty heavily and my prior dealer wouldn't match it. They were 20 more per month
    If you can handle a higher payment I wouldn't put the $$ down. it only changes the payment about $25/thousand
