Similar to the above post, I'm looking at a 2014 S6. Dealers are quoting MF and residuals all over the place. Can you confirm the MF and residual for a 36 or 42 month lease with 12,000? Thanks!
I've been reading these forums tremendously and find the information really valuable!
This is my first post so I’m hoping you can help me on my questions:
1) My current lease is up with Lexus is up and I’m looking at Audi A6 for this Fall.
The NY Audi dealer indicated the following lease special:
AUDI A6 $569 A MONTH WITH ZERO DOWN
PREMIUM PLUS, COLD WEATHER AND SIDE ASSIST
Price: $50,845
For June, the dealer provided me with the residual as .53 and .00107, 39 months, 10K miles. As a zero down, I would be responsible for taxes, bank fee, NYS inspection and tire recycling fee, our dealer documentation fee and your DMV fees (registration and plates). I know that there is also an incentive on the A6 and I have some wiggle room to negotiate.
While this is for June, does this seem on target? Has the money factor and rates changed for July for 39 months, 10k miles? The dealer claims to have the "best" rates.
2) Do you know if some Audi dealers are willing to pay off my present lease with Lexus and put me into a new lease with Audi? Have you seen dealers do this from your experience? What would be some of the cons by doing so?
3) Do you think it’s possible to lease a pre-certified A6 (2012 or 2013) with some mileage on it? Is that even possible? I know I could save more on the price of the car if I do this. Would the residual be lower? What’s your opinion on this?
Many thanks for your assistance!
The numbers for an otherwise identical 39-month lease are .00162 and 55%.
If you were to lease with only 10,000 miles per year, this car's residual values would be 1% higher.

Audi Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2014 A6 3.0 Sedan Premium Plus quattro with 15,000 miles per year are .00162 and 55% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of a 2013 model are .00099 and 49%.
If you were to lease either of these cars with 12,000 miles per year, their residual values would be 2% higher.

Audi Financial Services' July buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 39-month lease of a 2013 A6 2.0 Premium Plus Sedan with quattro and 10,000 miles per year are .00067 and 55% in New York (this program varies by state) for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
The fact that you are currently leasing a Lexus entitles you to a special $1,500 cash incentive on your new A6. This is good news, but there's no magic way for the Audi dealer to get you out of your Lexus lease early. The most likely scenario is that the dealer will have to make your remaining payments on your current lease for you to get you out of it. This will eat into their profit and hamper your ability to get the best possible deal on your new car. Theoretically it's possible that you have a ton of equity in your lease and you could get out for free, but the scenario that I described is more likely. You probably will be in a better bargaining position if you wait until you are closer to the scheduled end of your current lease to get something new.
It is usually possible to lease CPO vehicles. Having said that, manufacturers usually do not have nearly the level of lease support on used vehicles as they do on new vehicles. That's because the sale of new vehicles is really what drives automakers' profits. I often find that it is cheaper to lease a brand new car that has a special lease program available on it than it is to lease a similar several year old CPO car.

If you are a returning Audi customer there actually is a $1,500 cash incentive on leases of this car right now.

Also, what are the rates for a 2014 A6 3.0T premium plus Quattro with 12,000 miles per year?
This is really great information! Thank you!
The dealer previously quoted a residual as .53 and the money factor is .00107 for 2013 A6 quattro.
Does your information provided (re .00067 and 55% based on top credit) indicate that it is a A6 quattro model with cold weather and side assist?
Is the dealer just marking the money factor up? Do you feel I can negotiate on the money factor? Or is that strictly dependent on my credit score? How can one haggle wrt money factor asides from the price of the car?
I appreciate your continued assistance.

What is the MF and the Residual for a 10K 39 month lease and a 10K 42 month lease?
This is for northern CA
Is it different for the 2013 model?
Thanks

AudiCare provides a 1% boost to these residuals.

2014 A6 Prestige 39 / 10: .00159 / 52%
2013 A6 Prestige 39 / 10: .00099 / 50%
Don't go with a 42-month lease. The program for that term is less attractive and you miss out on the payment waiver offer.

Do you have the MF for a 2013 Audi A6 2.0T Premium Plus Quattro 15k mile lease for 39 months?

Given the relatively unattractive rates for July I opted to roll the dice and not lock in rates for the S6 I ordered to be delivered in October. Can you please provide the lease terms for August when they come available? 2014 S6 12k/36 months. Thanks again.

To me this seems high coming from my BMW lease. What is a reasonable lease payment?
I need 36 months/10k miles.
Also any thoughts regarding this car vs BMW 535xi M sport package?
Any special lease mf or residuals for the 2013 A6 that the dealers are trying to clear off the lots to make room for the 2014s? Specifically 12k miles and 36 months. A family member just got a 2013 bmw 7 series for 10k under invoice. Thanks!
2014 A6 Prestige
MSRP: 65795
Price: 62788
Mileage: 10k/year
Residual: 51%
MF: .00191
3 Year Lease
Note you can reduce the money factor by making multiple security deposits. Audi allows up to 9 deposits and for each one, reduces the money factor by .00005. For 9 deposits (effectively loaning Audi 9 monthly payments which you get back at the end of the lease it’s a security deposit, not a capital cost reduction), you will reduce your mf to .00146 and that will reduce your monthly payment by about $50. Think about that .you will save about $1800 by loaning Audi roughly $7200. Can you make $1800 on that $7200 somewhere else??? It’s a great deal that few know about and that includes dealers who may claim..Audi doesn’t offer it. Audi does offer it..make them check. Unfortunately, if you are in New York state, MSD’s aren’t allowed which is why so many in NYC lease their cars in NJ where it is allowed.
Good luck
A couple of more thoughts to confuse you.
Consider the diesel....the residual is 56% and there is a $1500 cash deal (see the audi web pages) on it. Drive one. Remember it's far more fuel efficient.
Audi care would add 1% to the residual as well.
My bet is that the best lease (and the best car) would be the A6 diesel with audi care for 36 mos using the maximum multiple security deposits.
Finally, you can likely lease a MB E350 for $100 less than the audi A6...and an E550 for about the same money per month. You can lease a Lexus GS350 for $150 less and that's with the F package. I've compared them.
I will note that the money factor quoted looks to be marked up, as well...
I show base rate for top tier to be .00130

I had bad numbers for MB from a dealer that apparently didn't want to take the time to lease me a car....the lexus actually comes in between the A6 and the e350. The difference in residuals between the audi A6 and MB is at least 10% (depending on which A6 you want....audi has different residuals for prestige, prestige plus and premier and then by engine.....crazy. I can lease an e350 10k miles/yr for 27 mos with a residual of 70%. Audi really quotes 36 mos and for an a6 premium plus with audi care, it's 58%.
There is also a difference in the mf reduction with multiple security deposits which makes another difference. MB is essentially giving away E350's right now.
Lexus has a sale in August and December of each year....the august rates on the GS were very attractive.

I live in NYC and am looking to get my first new car in a few years.
With that said it seems like things have changed since the crisis.
We're looking to get an A6 2.0T Quattro with the Premium Plus package. The best deals I've been seeing are $500/month with $4K down before taxes and fees and the tax is 8.875% in NYC, which is high.
Has anyone had any good success negotiating better deals in the area. Where we lived before the tax was much much less. My goal is to put $4K down and spend upto $600/month, but that isn't looking likely!
Please help!
Since you live in NYC, multiple security deposits aren't allowed....go to NJ and lease there (many, many do) where they are allowed. Note: there are only a very few states that don't allow multiple security deposits. No idea why...it's a good, safe way to reduce your monthly payments and earn about 10% on your money while doing it. I've used multiple security deposits on MB, BMW, Infinitis over the past 10 years...it's a great deal for those that know about it (and most dealers don't or tell you it's not significant. I consider 10% on my money pretty significant).
Can you give me an overview of the multiple security deposits? I don't fully understand.
MSD's in a nutshell....you loan mercedes 10 monthly payments...they lower the money factor by .0007 and you wind up paying $50 or more less per month. At the end of the lease you get the security deposits back...unlike a capital cost reduction where you don't get anything back. Think of the capital cost reduction as $4000/36 or add $111 to whatever monthly payment they are quoting you. With MSD's you will pay less than that....effectively making 10%+ on the money you loan MB.
Does anyone know Audi Financial's September buy rate lease Money Factor and Residual Value for a 42-month lease of a 2014 A6 2.0T Premium Plus quattro with 12,000 miles per year and top tier credit? I live in the Los Angeles area.

Can you by chance provide the MF and residual for a 2014 S6, 12k/year for 36 months?
