    Hi Carman, thanks for the education and great insights you offer on this forum. Will you kindly provide me with the current September money factor and residual on the 2012 as well as the 2013 A4 2T Premium models for a 36 months, 39 months, 42 months lease? I am planning to do 10,000 miles per year.

    Thanks so much!

    You're welcome gte304z and thank you for the kind words.

    Audi Financial Services' September buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2012 A4 2.0T Sedan Premium quattro with 10,000 miles per year are .00167 and 53%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.

    The numbers for an otherwise identical 39-month lease are .00187 and 51%.

    The numbers for an otherwise identical 42-month lease are .00187 and 49%.

    The numbers for similar leases of a 2013 model are .00114 / 58%, .00134 / 56% and .00134 / 54%.

    As you can probably tell, Audi pulled the plug on its lease support on 2012 models. The above standard lease program can be combined with the new $1,000 dealer cash that Audi is providing on the '12 A4.

    Audi is advertising new lease specials again. Unfortunately, Audi pulled the plug on the first month payment waiver offer :(

    Was offered a residual of 56% and money factor of .0017083 on a 39 month lease 10k miles for a 2013 a4. Walked out for now. Can you confirm those terms are the best Audi can do? I would be top credit tier. Thanks.

    Car_man can you provide insight? Prem plus model

    I was offered the following:

    Allroad Premium - MSRP price $43,095 (excluding tax)
    10,000 miles, 36 month
    $607 per month

    $607 First Month
    $695.00 Bank Fee
    $349.00 Doc Fee
    $371.00 Registration

    Total out of Pocket $2022.00

    Is this a good or bad deal? What is residual and money factor?

    Thanks!

    Hi bkd33. The money factor that you were quoted is a little high. Audi Financial Services' September buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 39-month lease of a 2013 A4 Sedan Premium Plus quattro with 10,000 miles per year are .00134 and 56%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.

    Hi cliffpoz. It would be much easier for us to evaluate this deal if you were able to provide us with this car's 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 more difficult to tell how large a dealer discount you are being given and in turn if there is any room left to negotiate. Let us know and I'm sure that either myself or another knowledgeable community member will let you know what they think.

    As far as this car's lease program goes, Audi Financial Services' September buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 allroad Premium with 10,000 miles per year are .00135 and 58%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.

    You're welcome cliffpoz. OK, so you're interested in a 2013 Audi Allroad Premium that has an MSRP of $43,095 and a selling price of $41,000. That's a $2,095 discount on a vehicle that has a spread of around $3,000 between its full MSRP and its dealer invoice price. So, you are at around $1,000 over invoice. That's not bad.

    Hi Carman,

    I am currently in a 2011 Audi TT Prem Plus. I am looking to trade it in early (18 months into a 39 month lease) for a 2013 A4 Prem Plus -
    MSRP 38,785
    Sale price of 37,000
    15k MPY
    Residual 55% (or 21,331.75)
    Money factor .00114 (about 2.5% interest).
    36 months-- 512.37
    Zero down
    OOP: 1st month payment, tax (NY), and fees.
    Audi care is $825, adding about $25 a month.

    Sounds astronomical to me. Please advise.
  • CarMan@EdmundsCarMan@Edmunds Member Posts: 38,514
    Hi milfedout. The money factor that you were quoted for the A4 looks good. Let's turn to the selling price.

    As a current Audi lessee you are eligible for a $1,000 cash incentive on your new A4. Add to that the spread of around $2,700 between this car's full MSRP and dealer invoice price and you have a total of around $3,700 or so to play with during your negotiations. You were quoted a dealer discount of $1,785. Soooooo if the dealer is not subtracting the loyalty cash from your offer you're still at around $2,000 over invoice. That's not horrific, but you should be able to do a lot better than that on an A4. The likely reason why this spread is so large is that you are getting out of your TT lease extremely early. Doing so usually hampers one's ability to get the best possible deal on their new vehicle.

    Hey thanks for all the free help Car_man!

    I have 06 A4 so I am eligible for the $1000 cash rebate. Looking at leasing a 2013 A4 2.0T QUATTRO TIPTRONIC (PREM PLUS, SPORT PACKAGE). Details for the deal are below:

    SALE PRICE $40,076
    ACQ FEE $695
    DOC FEE $80
    VEHICLE TOTAL $40,851
    DMV $390
    TIRE $9
    CAP RED $456
    REBATE $1000
    TOTAL CCR $1456

    TOTAL CC REDUCT $1456
    ADJ CAP COST $39,394.96
    MSRP $44,285
    RES FACTOR 57%
    RESIDUAL $25,242
    CUST CASH $1500
    DRIVEOFF $2500
    MONTHLY BASE $466.82
    MONTHLY TAX $43.18
    MONTHLY PAYMENT $510

    -$1500 down
    -36 Months
    -Top Credit
    -12k Miles Per Year

    The salesguy said it would be 35 remaining payments of $510 including taxes. Will it really be $1500 out of pocket and really $510 for the remaining 35 months for a total of $19,350? Anything hidden or fishy?

    Also, do you know if I can still prepay $450 upfront for 36 total months of AudiConnect (6 months free +30 mos prepaid)?

    Thanks in advance!
  • CarMan@EdmundsCarMan@Edmunds Member Posts: 38,514
    Hi Paul. $700 per month is way out of whack for an Audi A4, even a $44,000 one. Heck even at full MSRP this car would only be $600 per month, and I know that you can do better than full MSRP. Run away from this dealer.

    If I was in the market for this car in an area that has a decent level of competition, I personally would shoot for a selling price of $500 to $1,000 over invoice plus the use of Audi Financial Services' buy rate lease money factor of .00114. You can look up the exact invoice price of the car that you want over in the New Vehicle Pricing section of Edmunds.com.

    Hi dan412. The money factor that you were quoted looks good. It's right in line with Audi Financial Services' buy rate for this car. Now let's take a look at this car's selling price.

    The allroad that you're interested in probably has a spread of around $3,200 or so between its full MSRP and its dealer invoice price. That probably puts the selling price that you were quoted at around $1,200 or so over invoice. That's not too bad, but there might be a couple hundred dollars to play with here if you shop around in an area that has a decent level of competition.

    You're very welcome schindy. You are being given a huge discount on this car. The selling price looks good to me.

    Having said that, a few thoughts:

    First you would be better off going with a zero down lease, i.e. not paying a capitalized cost reduction out of pocket at signing. I always advise consumers not to make large down payments on leased vehicles. Consumers who put money down on leases risk losing part or all of the money that they laid out if their car is totaled in an accident or stolen and never recovered. Even though it means that you monthly payment will be slightly higher, it's safer to go with a zero down lease.

    Also, mak sure that the dealer uses Audi Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor of .00114 to calculate your car's payment (top credit tier). With such a low selling price they may be looking to mark your car's money factor up for back-end profit.

    I'm not sure if Audi Connect can be pre-paid.

    Other than tax/tag/title fees, should I expect to pay additional dealer fees (ie. $599 doc fee) or or is this just total crap? I'm trying to calculate a reasonable offer for a 2013 A4 Premium Plus and not sure if I should take these type of dealer fees into account. Has anybody been successful at not paying these fees or are they just a cost of buying the car?

    Thanks.

    hi garakl. You really shouldn't lease an Audi for 48 months. Audi's special lease money factors are only available for up to 42-months.

    Audi Financial Services' October buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 42-month lease of a 2013 A4 Sedan Premium Plus quattro with 12,000 miles per year are .00134 and 53%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.

    The residual value for a lease with only 10,000 miles per year would be 1% higher.

    Hi stumc1. Doc fees aren't required by the manufacturer or the state. They really aren't anything more than a way for dealers to pad prices.

    400 monthly. 3250 down. "Out the door" price. Meaning no other cost.
    12k mile/year. For 42 month.

    Was this at least a okay deal?">
  • small_lizardsmall_lizard Member Posts: 37
    Are you guys for real????? are these A4 or S4s because i know these are just about S4 prices

    $3500 and $600 a month? Id never buy an Audi. I know someone pushing these cars out in the 400s and S4 in the 600s
  • luxhoon1216luxhoon1216 Member Posts: 4
    The price is various depending on trim and options. A4 for 400s/mo should be Premium w/o MMI pkg with probably 10,000 miles/yr or 12,000 miles/yr. Audi Care which costs $30/mo is also an option. Moreover, difference between monthly payment of A4 and one of S4 is around 60$~70$ which is not that big if the A4 is premum plus with all possible options. I also checked out S4 and the dealer offered $680/mo.

    My point is the prices that these guys paid for their A4s are reasonable. Yes, they may not be the BEST in US but still reasonable. The thing is that other dealers in my area denied to give me better offers than that. :(
  • isles1isles1 Member Posts: 119
    You can get an S4 lease in the mid-to-high $600s....with money down or a Premium Plus with virtually no options. Or maybe you are referring to 2012 models being moved off the lot?

    If you want to talk apples to apples, post all the terms of the A4 and S4 leases being offered by the person that you know (sales price, residual, money factor, down payment, incentives, etc.).

    Hi mjjackson76. The buy rate lease money factor for this car is .00064. So the factor that you're being charged is a little high.

    Let's take a look at this car's selling price. There is a spread of around $2,769 between this model's MSRP and dealer invoice price. That puts you at around $1,100 or so over invoice. That's not bad, but if you are in an area that has a decent level of competition, I suspect that you can do better than that.

    Do you know the money factor and residual for an A4 quattro sedan, 3 years and 15k miles?

    I have an MSRP of $36,735 and sales price of $34,530. He said if I put $2k down, my payments would be $475.

    Also, can you explain me how it works if you have equity in your car at lease end. If I trade in my car to another dealer (like BMW), can they do the payoff directly to Audi? So if it's a $20k payoff and BMW offers $23k, can they pay it off directly without paying taxes? Or do I have to pay it off, pay taxes and then trade it in to BMW? I have read various things about Audi's lease policy. Thanks, Car_man!

    I have never leased a vehicle before and I am planning to lease an Audi A4 with prestige package(just because it has navigation and rear view camera). Can anyone tell me where can I get the best deal. I don't have a problem having only 10K miles per year on that. Please suggest me a good dealer in Northern Virginia area and how to get better discounts and APR rates.

    Got the A4 quattro with lighting and convenience package last week.

    $38,150 MSRP
    $34,861 sales price
    plus $850 for audicare
    15k miles and 3 years
    55% residual value
    0.00064 money factor
    Audi paid first month payment
    $1,000k down total
    $501 a month
    Payments include TTL (live in Texas)

    I had to negotiate the money factor -- one dealer admitted .00064 was the base rate, but that they marked it up to 0.00128.
