    Hey, so I got more information:
    2011 A5 Prestige
    Selling Price is $44k.
    Money Factor is (standard thru Audi according to leasing company) which is .00171
    42 months
    Monthly payment ~$679
    I'm not positive but I believe he is assuming 10k miles a year

    Does this sound like a fair deal?

    Thanks everyone!

    Hey audia5fan. Audi Financial Services' January buy rate lease money factor for a 36 month lease of a 2011 A5 Coupe Premium Plus is .00151. This converts to an interest rate of around 3.624%.

    A ha. Thanks for the additional information, mronio. AFS' 12,000 mile per year residual values are 2% higher than its 15,000 mile per resids.

    hi car_man

    Thanks for all you do on these forums.

    Do you have the residual and money factor for an A5 coupe premium automatic (not quatro) for 24 or 36 months with 15k miles a year. Thanks.
  • CarMan@EdmundsCarMan@Edmunds Member Posts: 38,514
    Hey iodine4444. The money factor that you were quoted is right in line with AFS' buy rate for this model. It's difficult for me to evaluate the selling price though without knowing either this car's MSRP or its dealer invoice price. Let us know what one of those numbers is and I'm sure that either myself or another knowledgeable community member will gladly let you know what they think.

    Thanks car man. Closed the deal using the numbers you provided. The help you provide is invaluable. 2011 A5 cab, premium plus, 12k per year for 730/month no money down. Thanks, again.

    Anyone know the money factor and residual on a:

    2011 A5 Coupe, auto quattro, Premium Plus

    for 10, 12 and 15k miles?

    (just trying to figure out the lease payments on models with MSRPs of 43,670 and 47,070).

    Any help would be appreciated.
  • tysmith00tysmith00 Member Posts: 1
    Got the following lease offer from the dealer:

    2011 A5 Premium Plus
    42 month, 15K miles
    Monthly payment: $766
    MSRP: $47,070
    Salesman said he's selling it to me for $44,770

    Does this sound like a good deal? Anyone think I can negotiate down a little? I read an earlier post about someone leasing an A5 cab with an MSRP of about $48K over a 42 month lease for $650.

    Any input appreciated! First time leasing..

    Hi i am Leasing a 2011 and its so complicated i am not sure what is a good deal can can one tell me
    I heard that doc fees , 375 loyalty fee and 500 security deposit can be waived is this true? Also i wanted the deal online that was for a premium for 36months 10,000k
    $489 1st month payment
    $500 deposit
    $695 Acquisition fee
    $1,275 down payment
    $350 deposit loyalty fees
    $24,525 purchase option
    plus tax, title, and DMV fees

    But then i wanted to move to a Premium Plus package but it goes way up
    What is the real best deal i can get on a Premium Plus total car cost
    i heard it is $65 a month more for Premium Plus and everything else stays the same except for purchase option. How much a month is it really to more to the plus at 36 and 42 months. How much discount should i get for a one shot lease paying the whole thing? I have a credit score of 675 and that makes me a tier 2 they say i need a 700 to become tier 1 and that that ends up costing me $25 more is this true other dealer said no and to come down but he may be just saying that. What do you think Pls help!

    Hey Guys,
    I am new to this forum. Sorry, if these question has previously been answered.

    1. I am interested in leasing an Audi A5 for 36 months. I MAY be moving overseas in a year or two and am worried about breaking the lease or transfering it. How difficult is it to do so? In this scenario, should I look at purchasing a new car instead. Alternatively, should I look at used A5s (there aint very many)?

    2. Reading through some earlier posts, I noticed the mention of the AFS Money Factor and Residual Value. Is this what the dealer would quote me or is this the absolute lowest that the dealer would be willing to go to?

    Thanks!
  • CarMan@EdmundsCarMan@Edmunds Member Posts: 38,514
    Welcome paceypimps. 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.

    Doc fees are between you and the dealer. You might not be able to get the dealer to waive its doc fee per se, but if you feel as though the doc fee is too high you might be able to get them to lower your vehicle's selling price slightly instead.

    If I recall correctly, AFS will not automatically waive its security deposit requirement (except perhaps for loyal customers), but it will waive this fee for anyone in exchange for an increase of .00015 in the money factor that was used to calculate your vehicle's payment.

    I have no idea what the $375"loyalty fee" that you mentioned is. If anything, Audi and the dealer should be rewarding loyal customers, not charging them an extra fee.

    Car man:
    Can you tell me the residual and money factor for an A5 Quattro Cabrio Prestige model, 36 month lease, 12k miles per year?
    Also, does Audi allow a lessee to reduce his money factor by putting down multiple security deposits? What is the reduction for each month of security put down?
    Thanks in advance for the info.

  • mumuxumumuxu Member Posts: 34
    1. U can transfer lease within ur lease term via either swapalease or leasetrader. These sites essentially deal with lease transfer classifieds.However, u r still responsible for payment & car in case this new lessee has/creates problems.

    In case, ur in tri state area then u can try some private cos who broker leases. They appear to have better rates. However I have no experience nor I know anyone who has dealt with them

    2. IMO,that wud be the lowest that dealer wud go.

    Audi Financial Services' January buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2011 A5 Cabrio Prestige with quattro and 12000 miles per year are .00136 and 50%, respectively.

    I believe that AFS does indeed have a MSD program, but I'm not sure of the exact money factor reduction that it provides for each additional deposit.

  • CarMan@EdmundsCarMan@Edmunds Member Posts: 38,514
    Hi jgreenberg. Audi Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor for a 42 month lease of a 2011 A5 Cabriolet Premium quattro is .00156 for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier. It looks to me as though the dealer that you are working with may be attempting to mark your car's money factor up to add additional hidden back-end profit to your deal. See if you can get hem to use the buy rate to calculate your car's payment.

    I am planning to lease a Premium Plus A5 w/nav, 48 months/12k year. What would be the money factor/residual value of something like this?

    How about the S5? I read in an older post that the better residuals make these close to A5's in cost?

    Thanks!

    Hi Car Man/all,

    I'm thinking about leasing a 2011 A5 Premium Plus Coupe with a manual transmission + navigation. MSRP is $44,280, invoice price is $41,244 according to KBB. Driving 15k miles a year and most likely gonna lease for 39 months since I don't want to run out of warranty with the 42 month lease. I saw the numbers for 36 months and 42 months above, but I was wondering if someone could tell me the money factor and residual value for the 39 month lease?

    Also, the dealer quoted me $626/month for 39 months, $0 down, with tax up front. Is this a reasonable price? How much lower can I negotiate it down?

    Much appreciated!

    Hi Everyone,

    I've been following the posts and now need your advice. From some posts I noticed that A5's are more expensive in Northern Cali (where I'm from). Here's what I'm being offered. Please let me know your thoughts.

    A5 Premium Plus (White/beige). No Navi
    39 Months Lease
    $3500 down
    "selling" price $41,375
    One of the sales people gave me a weird answer for the invoice. He said it's $40,456 and right after that it can also be $40,456. I'm assuming he's trying to bump it up to show me how close I am to invoice
    MF: .0022
    Residual:$22,882

    Monthly payment with tax (9.25%) is $643/month

    Thoughts? Other dealers in the area are giving me over $700/month!

  • koz2koz2 Member Posts: 3
    This may be redundant to you, but I could use the help. Thinking about leasing an A5 coupe from SoCal dealership; Premium Plus, w/19" wheels, BO sound. I was quoted $43,975, less $1,000 discount and $1,500 Audi loyalty credit. I would consider anywhere from 36 to 48 mos. on a lease, 10k miles per year and an upfront payment of $3-6,000. What should I expect to pay monthly with all additional costs and taxes folded into the lease. Any analysis at how you arrive at the number(s) would be appreciated.

  • bski2bski2 Member Posts: 2
    Sounds like a decent deal from a price perspective. I would go to leaseguide.com and use their lease calculator. Were you a previous audi owner and is that why you were offered a loyalty program discount?
  • koz2koz2 Member Posts: 3
    Yes, I am a current Audi owner, although I am not yet certain whether the loyalty credit applies to leases as it does to a new purchase. I would still like some sense of what a fair lease amount should be. Thanks for your anticipated response.
