Great info here - thank you very much. I am currently negotiating to lease a 2006 A4 over a 24 month period. I will be financing $32,700 over the 24 month period at the money rate of .00139. Each of the 3 dealers I have visited have offered to lower the money rate to .00067 if I put down a security deposit of $3,600 which is fully refundable at the end of the lease term with no interest paid on the deposited funds (they refer to it as "Multiple Deposits"). The reduction in the money rate lowers my monthly payment by $40 or $960 over the full term of the lease. This seems like an outstanding deal to me since if I were to hold those funds in the best interest bearing account I could find I would not be able to match the 13.3% annual return that I am effectively getting on the deposited funds. Am I missing something here or is it as good as it seems?
Thanks for your help!
Steve

You are exactly right, everything is all part of the overall negotiation package. In my case, to correct my earlier post, the acq fee was $620, which I knew was higher than the standard fee, but the money rate was so much better that I was better off, at the end of the day.
I also paid the destination charge, as well.
Good news, the car arrived at the dealership today. Should be able to pick up on Friday.
Auto transmission, sunroof package, cold weather package, and heated front seats (not the entire premium package)The color is gray quartz which adds $475 to the price. The MSRP of the vehicle is 34,135 and I am getting it for $32,750 with the above payment. How much are they making on me and do I have more room to negotiate? The money factor is .00139 and the L.E.V is 76%.
Here is the deal on ordering and leases - as I understand it. As you suggested, if the lease special is still valid when your car comes in, you can take it. In this case, Audi USA (on the 800 customer service line) said the lease deal is good through December. But if my car arrives January 1, I can simply say, nah, changed my mind and get the refundable deposit back. I don't think I would and my guess is that January might bring an even better deal - hard to know, but it is essentially no risk. Now, the price itself is subject to change due to Audi changing prices or the Euro going up but that should not be a huge deal.
Pilot, thanks for confirming those fees. The overall price is good so I didn't want to quibble. Cool that your car is coming in! What color?
Interesting that we have the same experience with Royal and Rector. FWIW, Sonnen never contacted me when I requested a dealer quote, via Edmunds. Of course, Sonnen would have been on the bottom of my list after they jerked me around when I was buying my X3, last year.
Anyway, the A4 was delivered to Carlsen on Monday. We'll pick it up on Friday. It's Dolphin Grey.
Sorry to hear they jerked you around. Audi and BMw may also be run by different managers. Do you still have the X3? That car would have been my first choice - roomy, sporty, cool looking (and I don't like 3 series looks) but I had to have really good MPG. Get a hybrid in that car and....
The MSRP is $35,440. The value of my trade is $7186. $1186 of that will go towards reducing the price of the A4, making it $34,254. $3000 of the $7186 from the trade will go towards paying off the rest of the loan on the trade in. I will be getting a check from the dealer for $1350, the remaining amount from the trade-in. My monthly payment is $400 for the next 23 months. They also said they are using a residual value of 75% and money rate of .00169.
Does this seem decent?!?
MSRP 36,385
Purch Price 35,700
75% residual value
Money rate of .00185
Is the money rate higher than the .00139 you're all quote above due to it being the avant vs the sedan? why are they so different?
Thanks for any help.

I told him I knew about the AFS terms of 76% and .00139 buy rate. But he didn't identify the MF.
He's about $30-35 high on the FWD and $20-25 high on the Quattro.
So he's obviously not using the same MF. The selling prices for both are below the TMV and the Carsdirect prices however.
MSRP $34,610, $1,045 DISCOUNT, CAP COST $33,565.
Lease 24 Months Mo. $400.95
$2,392.80 down payment
$25,957 residual
12,000 miles per year.
He said he used MF of .00139 and 75% residual.
I'm looking for guidance. My math skills may be faulty, but this looks high.
:confuse: ">
Seems good but when I ask him about MF he's using, the monthly or residual, there is no response. But I also let him know that I know about the 75 or 76% and .00139 buy rate.
So I would take it he's not interested in selling it at those terms.
I see these great residuals of 76% & 75% for 24 months on the A4 Quattro; what about the FrontTrak? Can you post 24/36/39 month residuals & money factors (if different than the .00139)for a 12k and 15k lease? Also, do you have A3 rates? No current postings on the A3 leasing questions forum. THANK YOU!
Would love to know how you are able to obtain all manufacturers lease rates, as I have freind/family/co-worker asking me all the time what's the best car/best deal questions. I always have to check Edmunds, specifially your posts, for the best deal part. Great service!!!
He's quoting $1,272.43 total drive off and $375.09 plus tax per month.
Those figures seem to be exactly around the 75% residual for the 2-year, 10k miles FWD lease with .00139 MF, if I'm not mistaken?
Thx
Noticed a bit of talk about pre paid leases. I'm in the process of doing just that. Need a bit of guidance though.

Total due at lease inception 914.00 +T-T-DF

I'm not real sure what the actual sticker is (and understand that info may be needed to fully answer my question).
I would like to walk in, sign and make one full payment. What is the best number I could hope for?? With tax the total payments and acq-fee is 9,239.00
I would really like to get that down a bit. Any thoughts or advise???
Thank you very much!!

Audi A4 - 2006 2.0 Quat. Auto w/ Premium and Sunroof Black/ Black and 12k/yr
was quoted all in (taxes, lic. fees, etc.) of $460/ month or a one payment lease of $10,080 btw...how much are all of these fees?
are either of these good deals - claims he is using .00139 and 75% residual and selling price is $33,700 - which is about $1,200 over invoice - is this good? is it worth negotiating more - could really use some advice as I only have until tomm...

As far as the lease program that you were quoted goes, the money factor and residual value that the dealer told you are right in line with Audi Financial Services' numbers for this car. This is good because it means that the dealer that you are working with is not trying to make any additional back-end profit on this aspect of your deal.

Another thing that I noticed about this deal is that the money factor that the dealer is using to calculate your car's payment is a too high. Audi Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor for a 24 month lease of a 2006 Audi A4 2.0T sedan with quattro is only .00139, assuming that you qualify for its top credit tier and pay a security deposit and its $575 lease acquisition fee. It sounds to me as though the dealer that you are working with may be trying to mark this car's base money factor up to add additional back-end profit to your deal.

As far as the selling price goes, a base 2006 Audi A4 Avant 2.0T has a spread of a little over $2,200 between its full MSRP and dealer invoice prices. You are only being given a discount of $685 on this car. So there is a little room to play there. I don't know what the supply / demand for this model is like in your area though.

I have been offered this lease deal on an Audi A4 2006. Sunroof pckg,dolphin gray paint,quattro,tiptronic and navigation for $34,260 (MSRP$35,460),money factor 1.47 and the residual is 74%. Is this a good deal?. Need advice on this as i am about to do it.
I am still looking for an A4 lease, and I have been offered this deal on a 2006 A4 in Light Silver with Premium Package, Sunroof Package, Technology Package, and Navigation with an MSRP of $39,660. The dealer insists they made a mistake with the calculations and the monthly payment should be more, but as I have it all in writing they said they would stand by the deal:
Lease Period: 24 Months
Mileage: 12,000 per year
Residual: 75%
Money Factor: 0.00149
Acq Fee (Financed): $575
Total Down: $2.389.21
Monthly Payment inc Tax: $433.62.
I am supposedly getting the car at $500 above invoice, but when I price it out on Edmunds it seems like more than $500. I am unsure whether to just take the deal, or question it if they are trying to sneak in a few extra dollars profit on me.
Thanks in advance for your help!
