2012 A4 Prem Plus 3 yr 12K/yr
ZERO out of pocket
MSRP $40250
Lease $476/mo x 35mo (no 1st mo)
I would be happy to use this lease program to work up a sample payment for you, but in order for me to do so I need you to provide me with an approximate selling price for the vehicle that you're interested in.

2012 a4 premium plus with a few extras
3 year 15000 mile lease, audi care also
$662 mo w/ $1607 at start. audi makes 1st payment up to $600.
car trade in 10000
car wouldn't be in till nov(dealer trade) so i would have to put a deposit down and plans change in nov
please help... im thinking a no deal, any suggestions would help, if more info needed please reply
For example, I lease a 2008 A4 convertible for $441/month including CA tax (8.75%) back in 2008...it had a MSRP of just over 45K...my drive off was around 850 (1st month, dmv)...so I was actually less than 1%...which is extremely rare.
You are close to 1.4%, which is dreadful...furthermore, NEVER put down a deposit down on a car as common as an A4! You can actually lease a 2011 E350 for less than your quote - a 55k+ car.
My current lease is for a 2011 A4 Avant...MSRP of 39500...I got Audicare too...my monthly works out to 436 before tax...so about 1.1% which is solid.
So, you gave nothing down (for fees?) nada? That seems like a great price, heck, I guess I dont even have to bring my check book then...
$525 doesn't sound bad with Nav & sport pak. Mine has neither but does have metallic paint.
I live in S. NJ (Philadelphia area).
Only other thing is that I had $750 loyalty from Audi so you would probably be in the $500 range anyway.

Yes, the residual & money factor are both important factors when considering a lease deal. But, & this is a big but...they are both set by the bank/finance company and in most, if not all cases, are NON-NEGOTIABLE. The money factor can changes based on your credit rating, but you can't negotiate it. The residual is based on the term of the lease & mileage, also non negotiable.
Therefore the only things you can negotiate on your lease deal, just like on a buy, is the selling price of the car, and maybe some additional fees. That is the price that the residual will be subtracted from to leave the amount that the money factor will be applied to to come up with your monthly payment.
My deal was good (I think) because I negotiated a great selling price(below invoice) on the vehicle and the dealeragreed to absorb some of the fees that I could have been responsible for like bank fees, registration, doc fees, etc. I had no control over the residual & money factor. They remained constant at every dealer I went to(4 of them)...
At todays money factors a couple of thousand $$$ difference in price could translate to $60 less per month.
hope this helps.

Can you send me the details of this lease? I'm looking to lease an A4 Quattro Premium with style pkg, convenience pkg, and heated seats in Nashville, TN (I'm assuming an 8.0% tax rate) for 36 months/15k miles. The MSRP on this combination is $38,025. I've agreed upon a price of $35,275 ($2,750 less than MSRP), and that brings my payments to $534/mo. Nowhere near the great deal you got for a more expensive car. Here are my calculations:
MSRP = $38,025
MF = 0.00151
Residual = 56% ($21,294)
Tax = 8.0%
Acq. Fee = $695
Agreed Price = $35,275
Net Cap Cost = $35,970 ($35,275+$695)
Depreciation = (Net Cap Cost - Residual) / Term
$407.67 = ($35,970 - $21,294)/36
Finance fee = (Net Cap Cost + Residual ) × Money Factor
$86.47 = ($35,970 + $21,294) x 0.00151
Pre Tax payment = $407.67 + $86.47 = $494.14
Payment (incl 8% tax) = $533.67
I think my calculations are pretty sound. So my questions are: what was your agreed upon price, what residual value and money factor did you get? What is your tax rate? I feel like the price I've negotiated is pretty good, who knows, maybe I can do better? Thanks for your help.
I was hoping you could assist me with residual, money factor and payment on an Audi A4-Premium Plus (automatic) with GMBH Wheels and Navigation. The MSRP is $42,250 but I should be able to negotiate the price of the car to $40,756. I am looking for a 39 month lease with either 10K or 12k mileage.
Thank you
Can you please provide residuals and money factor for 2012 A4 Premium Plus and also Prestige - 15K for 36 and 48 months.

can you please give me the Oct MF and Residual % for a 2012 A4 Avant Quattor with premium plus. I'm looking for a 3 yr lease and 15k per year.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the help.

My lease is about to run out on my Audi A4. The End of lease shows 22,680 online. I talked to Audi Services the phone and they said if I buy the car I will be charged a 350.00 Admin fee, not turn in fee for buying the car. Does this sound right? I also asked the dealer, Audi Directly and Audi Services about my supplier discount. When I leased the car my 6% discount didn't apply, only 3% towards the leased price. So now that I am buying the car at the end of the lease I asked all of the above if the remaining 3% discount would apply and no one seems to have the answer.
I am getting a very bad taste in my mouth from the whole end of process and Audi services trying to sell me a extended warranty if I buy the car through them!!
Thanks,
Dil
The residual value for a lease with only 10,000 miles per year would be 1% higher.

The $350 admin fee to purchase your vehicle at lease-end doesn't surprise me all that much. Many banks charge such a fee. I said that I wasn't surprised, but that doesn't mean that I find fees like this annoying. I personally can't stand disposition or purchase option fees.

Do you think this was a good deal or should I have negotiated lower? The MSRP on this vehicle is $42,675.

Can you give me the A4 Avant Premium and Premium plus Residual/MF for Nov for 36 month/36K? If there are any better lease offers (39 month, etc.) please include that as well.
Thanks again!
Anthony
Can you give me the November rates for a 2012 Audi A4 Premium Quattro for 36 months with 10K and 12K miles? Are there any rebates and incentives right now?
For an A4 premium quattro auto transmission with style, technology package and heated front seats MSRP $38025, invoice $35,425, is $36000 a good price to target?
Thanks,
Josh

I am in jersey as well and looking at the same car.
Who did you deal with at cherry hill imports? Was the negotiating done in person or via phone or email? Also, did you have to really negotiate hard or were they pretty reasonable?
Thanks!
The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of an Avant Premium Plus are exactly the same.

The residual value for a lease with only 10,000 miles per year would be 1% higher.
As far as cash incentives go, Audi is waiving the first month's payment on leases of this car right now. There's a $750 owner loyal cash incentive on leases on top of that.

I am looking to lease a 2012 A4 in Miami, premium with style and convenience package. They are telling me $500/month(Tax included) for a 36 month lease. Is this a reasonable price or should I expect something lower then that a month?
Thanks,
Brian
$1280 total out of pocket
$443.89 monthly for 36 months includes 12K miles and tax
Residual 57%, MF .00143
I had planned on keeping the car to lease-end and possibly buying, but I am close to needing 4 new tires, and am wondering if this offer seems good enough to change my plan. Thanks for any comments
Call them & speak to the GM. They are pretty easy to deal with and very accomodating.
Good luck...

Dealer 1:
Sale Price $39,100
MF .00153
residual: $23,898
Term 42 months
Up Front: $2,180
10,000
Monthly: $499
Dealer 2:
Sale Price: 36,925
42 months
10,000 miles
Up Front: $4,133
Monthly: $315
This means in realty over the 42 month period I would pay a total of:
Dealer 1: $23,138
Dealer 2: $17,363
No I notice that many people here write in and ask for the MF and Residual as if it's a thing that changes all the time and as if it matters. The only thing that matters is the price of the car and the total amount of money you give the dealer over the entire lease period. These two dealers are close to each other and I'm sure if I brought the two quotes to both of them there would be an "oh, sorry, that's a mistake". Don't you love lease deals, not.
As I said in a previous post I just got an audi A4 2.0 TFSI® Premium Plus with eight-speed Tiptronic® transmission and quattro® with the below specs:
Black exterior and Black interior
5 spoke tires
Audi navigation
all-weather mats
Rear acoustic parking sensors
for $496 per month for 36 months with 10k miles per year. Total due at signing is $1,152 including first months payment. The price of the car was $42,605.

But I'm confused, your deal appears to be much more expensive than the lower lease I was quoted. Now that may be because you have Nav and your sale price is much higher but still your lease cost looks high to me. At your $496 a month for 36 months plus your $1,152 due at signing means you are paying a total of $19,008 which is in effect $528 per month when added together.
My lease offer is $315 a month plus $4133 up front, so that's $17,363 for 42 months which is in effect $413 per month. So even if you account for your Nav your purchase price looks way too high and your monthly looks too high even factoring in 36 month lease with a 42 month lease. Do you see what I mean?
spoke to my dealer today.. here's the deal?
A4 Premium, with convenience and style packages, as well as heated seats and mats.
Price of the car: 36,700
12k a year.. he wants ~1400 down (1st month, acq fee (bs), doc fee)
he's gonna pay my last month of my current lease (553) and i still have to make one payment (two left) and i know theres 750 loyalty
Monthly nut with taxes rolled in: $523
Waddya think !
THanks in advance !

Could you please post the November residual and money factor for the Prestige with Quattro models?
Here's what I was quoted (and it seems a little high...):
MSRP: $46,150
Selling Price/Cap Cost: $44,219
Money Factor: .00195
Residual: 53% (12K miles = 2% Bump)
Payment: $751.08
If those are indeed right, could you also add in the Premium Plus numbers? I may want to respec one of those instead of the Prestige to get the better residual...
Thanks in advance for your help, and thanks in general for having a forum like this. It makes car buying a much calmer and saner experience...
I see deal prices here that are outrageously high and people act like they got a good deal. Why is it for a 36 month lease people are not adding up the total amount they give to the dealer to lease the car for 36 months? I don't care what the MF and residual is if the total you are paying is too high compared to other people's deal. There is a guy on this site who said my numbers were a terrible deal, yet he was paying more and people are congratulating him, you people don't all have rose colored glasses on do you?
I give up, none of this makes sense. Somehow people have it in their head if their numbers "look good" the deal is good when the only thing that matters is the total cost to you for 36 months. When you buy a car there's a bottom line price you pay until the car is fully yours, with a lease it's the same thing, you can look at the total from day one and say "this is what I'm going to pay total in the end" and yet that seems to be the one thing you and everybody else here doesn't look at. Why is that?
