Can you explain what the $1,000 marketing allowance is?
Factory to dealer incentive; factor that in when negotiating your best price.
So, just to make this perfectly clear. I have a car I've been looking at, MSRP is $50,660 and the dealer is advertising the car for $47,460. That's about a 6.4% discount. I should then be able to apply my $750 loyalty incentive and up to the $1000 marketing allowance without much hassle. So, I would have a price of $45,710.
Don't fall for the 'our advertised price already includes the discounts' and certainly don't fall for the trick where the increase the money factor. Make sure you see all the numbers, write them down on your own piece of paper or bring a laptop and plug them into Excel.
I'm sure at the 6% discount they are still making money and the incentives should go to you. If not, it's just more money in their pocket.

My guess is that the incentives are already baked into the discount you've been quoted.

Ask the dealer for a full breakdown of the $3000 up front monies - taxes, fees and the first payment are likely the majority. There may be some left over that is being used as cap cost reduction - about $500.
If you're comfortable with the selling price, and you understand the breakdown of the $3000, all looks good.
Hello, May I get the RV and MF for 2018 A4 AWD P+ 12k and 15k in CA (does with or without packages matters)? Any advice in terms of whether 24 or 36 will give me a better deal? Thank you so much!!

Add 7% to the 36 month residuals; 36 months is the sweet spot for Audi.

Hello Michaell, I got a quote from a dealer which uses 12k 51% for 36mons and 58% for 24mons for a p+ AWD in SF Bay area. Should I tell them that their number for residual is wrong and the correct number should be 60% and 62%. Any Suggestions for negotiating the residual number in their calculation? Thank you so much for your helps!

They can't change the residual. Maybe, they are quoting a 2017 model?
24 month payments will not be good. I'd stick with 36 months.
Hello, My dealer give me a break down which has an item called "tax on collected item" and it is included in total cap. Is this item standard? Also, my dealer deduct the first month payment from down payment and use that number as cap cost deduction. I am very skeptical with this calculation. Is this a common way for deduction? Ex. due at signing = 2000. first month payment = 600 cap deduction = 1400 Thank you so much for your helps!

As there is an incentive available, and you are putting cash down, you will owe sales tax on those amounts.
Yes, deducting the first payment from the total amount you give to the dealer is a standard practice.
All that said, however, we suggest you limit your cash out of pocket to just the first payment and DMV costs; add everything else into the lease payment.
Is the marketing allowance expected to carry over into November? Will it likely be gone once the annual Season of Audi promotions begin (judging by prior years)?

No clue as to what will happen to the program numbers come 1 November.

What lease term and how many miles per year?
Sorry sir, 36/10. Major difference on 36/12?
Assuming Quattro .00075 MF and 56%/52% residual for Premium+/Prestige Subtract 1% for 12K/yr $1000 marketing allowance
Those are October numbers. New progam starts tomorrow.
How does this deal look. MSRP $51,230 reduction to $43,045 with taxes and fees $47,242.35. An A4 Premium Plus 36/15K $627 Base Lease with 1K down. In Miami FL.

Taxes are collected on the monthly payment in Florida. So, how do you get from $43045 to $47242? You need the adjusted CAP cost on the lease quote, not an out-the-door purchase price, which it appears they've provided.
From the $43,045.50 they added the following and included taxes which I agree is off. Tax $2692.85 Battery Fee $1.50 Doc Fee $697.50 Lemon $2.00 Reg $500 Tag $298 Tire $5 Balance $47,242.35
