    I am looking to lease through AFS. I was told by the dealership that AFS charges a $350 purchase option fee. I guess it was started last year. Is this true or am I being taken?

    To be clear, I am not talking about the $350 disposition fee. I know you pay that if I return the car. I am referring to a fee to purchase the vehicle on top of the residual value at the end of my lease if I buy it.

    Has anyone leased in 2010 through AFS, and did they put that fee in the contract?

    Thanks!!!

    9.75% in Los Angeles County. I didn't go for the Audi Care service program. Do you feel it's worth it to pay for service in advance, with a "cap?"

    Here you go, aitrus03. Audi Financial Services' May buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2010 A4 Sedan FWD Premium Plus with 12,000 miles per year are .00008 and 50%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top aka "A" credit tier.

    The numbers for an otherwise identical 39 month lease are .00028 and 49%.

    If you were to lease this car with only 10,000 miles per year, its residual values would be 1% higher. The rates for AFS' "B" credit tier are .00010 higher than the money factors that I mentioned.

    Unfortunately, I am not aware of any resource (other than myself of course) that provides this sort info to the general public.

    Hi chicago_jeff. As you mentioned Audi Financial Services charges a $350 disposition fee at the end of leases. Fees like this are extremely annoying, but they are fairly common in the industry. I would not be surprised if it charged a similar purchase option fee to consumers who choose to buy their vehicle at lease-end, but I don't know that it does for certain.

    I'm looking for realistic numbers (Cap Cost, Money Factor, Price, etc.) to lease a 2010 Audi A4 Avant with the Premium Plus package. What should I expect to see for a 36-42 month lease with 10k-12k in Long Island, NY if I roll everything into the payments (taxes, etc.)? Thanks!
  • mickeyroimickeyroi Member Posts: 1
    Hey guys, I'm being quoted as follows for an Audi A4 Premium Plus with Navigation and Ice Silver Metallic color, MSRP $38,800, for a 36 months lease 30k miles a year (yes, you read that right). I live in orange county california zip code 92677 where sales taxes are 8.75%.

    $10k down
    $750 BMW owner discount
    Monthly payments $542.27
    Residual: $11,874

    Any thoughts on how good of a deal it is?

    When you have a minute, can you please tell me the May numbers (money factor and residual value) for an A4 Premium Plus. I am looking for 24, 36 and 42 months, 15K per year.

    Thanks!

    Yeah, I know, that is the old "Yo." But anyways, what are the May numbers (money factor and residual value) for an A4 Avant Premium and Premium Plus? I am looking for 36 month, 12k per year. Thanks! Used your help last time.
  • CarMan@EdmundsCarMan@Edmunds Member Posts: 38,514
    Greetings audi4houston .

    Since you are new to leasing, you definitely should check out the following informative articles on the subject that are available here at Edmunds.com: 10 Steps to Leasing a New Car and Calculate Your Own Lease Payment.

    In short, the easiest way to get a good deal on a leased vehicle is to shop around for the lowest possible selling price and then have the dealer that you decide to go with calculate your vehicle's monthly payment using its buy rate lease money factor.

    Check out the articles and let us know if you have any questions.

    Do you know when 2011 pricing usually becomes available ?
    I am considering ordering a 2011 A5 based on 2010 pricing. As a result, I would not qualify for any incentives/rebates that are currently available, I am told!

    hey guys, right now i am looking at a a4 2010
    quttro ,premium plus, navi, msrp 40375 bucks,
    i am looking for 3000 cap total fees.
    what monthly payment is a right number for me?
    36months lease, 10k a year
    i am in CA LA
  • jnyzjnyz Member Posts: 102
    It is hard to answer the above two questions without being told what the car is being sold to you for. Even though the car is going to be leased there is still a sale price. Just post the sale price a nd itemize the fees and someone will be able to give you a lease price.
  • chaolanrenchaolanren Member Posts: 15
    I beleive they are able to do a sale price at $36500.00
  • waits211waits211 Member Posts: 7
    audi4houston, that's terrible IMO.
    I got my 2010 premium plus quatro- manual 10k for 36mos
    $1500 out of pocket at 459/mo, tax included.

    Each $1000 down is rough 30/month. So your 6k more down would bring your payments roughly down 180 below mine/month. Your at $30...
  • audi4houstonaudi4houston Member Posts: 9
    where did u buy it at?
  • audi4houstonaudi4houston Member Posts: 9
    for mine in houston these are the details:

    msrp 36225
    disc 2000
    audicare 790
    tint 199
    doc fee 179
    tax 2290
    ttl 840
    dealer services 497
    net 39020

    this is 2010 A4, premium plus, CVT, wood interior, 12k miles, 36 months, $ 7500 down payment. Dealer quoting 429/month.

    Please advise.
  • waits211waits211 Member Posts: 7
    houston, i'm a little confused. looking at your numbers I don't see the 7500 down. All I see is the disc 2000? is that capcost reduction? If so where is the other 5500?

    Incendently, there is a link somewhere above about not putting as little money down as possible in event of a crash/total loss. It's tough to get away without paying the title and stuff upfront.

    good luck.
  • audi4houstonaudi4houston Member Posts: 9
    2000 is the discount given by the dealer.

    39020 - 7500 = 31250 is the cap cost.

    You're welcome audi4houston.

    Audi Financial Services' May buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2010 A4 Sedan Premium Plus FWD with 12,000 miles per year are .00019 and 47%, respectively.

    Audi is actually providing a $750 cash incentive on this car right now to current owners of Audi, BMW, and Mercedes models. If you're eligible for it, make sure to take this cash into account during your negotiations.

    What you were told is correct, davinciaudi. 2011 models are not eligible for 2010 model programs. Despite the fact that BMW and Mercedes have already started introducing '11 models, I haven't seen anything about them from Audi yet. It could be several months before the '11s are available through it. It's difficult to say exactly when it will officially announce pricing.

    I'd be happy to help you out, jlm2010. Audi Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2010 A4 2.0 Sedan Prestige with quattro and 15,000 miles per year are .00025 and 42%, respectively.

    The numbers for an otherwise identical 39 month lease are .00045 and 41%.

    Hi audi4houston. Wow, $7,500 at lease signing :surprise: . Why so much? I usually advise consumers to pay as little as possible at lease signing. Consumers who make large down payments on leases risk losing part or all of them if their vehicle is totaled in an accident or stolen and never recovered.

    As far as how good a deal this is, it would be much easier for us to evaluate it if you provided us with this car's MSRP and selling price. The selling prices of leased vehicles are negotiable, just as if you were paying cash for or financing them. Without this number, it is difficult to tell how large a dealer discount you are being given, and in turn if there is any room let to negotiate.

    When I leased my 2008 BMW X5 and 2007 BMW 328i, I was able to get a hold of a pricing sheet showing the invoice and markup for each trim level and option. Using those numbers and offering a minimal profit, I was able to negotiate very good prices.

    Thus far, I've not seen one for the A4 wagons. I'm in So Cal and in the market for a well-equipped 2010 A4 wagon and am wondering if anyone has a lead on good pricing so I know how much to bargain for when I go into the dealerships.

    Much appreciated.

    Thanks.

    My finance lease is up July first so were looking for a car. We were thinking about the VW CC but I think I may have found a decent Audi Lease.

    The details:
    2010 A4 2.0 Quattro (Premium package, heated seats, automatic)
    Sale price: $35,500
    10k miles/yr
    Money down: $2999 (first month, acq fee and $1999) + sales tax (8.75%)
    $379/month for 42 months

    If I skip the $1999 they want would that just increase the monthly payment by $48??
  • jnyzjnyz Member Posts: 102
    Talon,

    What is the list price of the car? Then we can figure out the lease.
  • talon4x4talon4x4 Member Posts: 21
    List price is $36,500
  • jnyzjnyz Member Posts: 102
    edited June 2010
    It seems your payment should be a little higher. Are you including the 8.75% tax in your payment? You also should be able to buy that car at invoice price, they have you paying about 1500 over invoice. I am getting a payment of 427.00 with sales tax included. So your 379 payment seems good.
  • jnyzjnyz Member Posts: 102
    Talon,

    This is a site you should check out? Only 2 dealers got back to me at that price.

    I see, audi4houston. Thanks. So the dealer is providing you with a $2,000 discount on the A4 Premium Plus Sedan that you're interested in. This car only has a spread of around $2,500 between its full MSRP and its dealer invoice price, so the $2,000 dealer discount looks very reasonable to me. I still don't like the large down payment though.
