Inappropriate or skewed computations only serve to justify the rationale for incorporating standard computational methods in the Federal Reserve Bank Board’s Regulation M paralleling those of Appendix J found in its Regulation Z cousin. Unfortunately, such irregularities prove that people must continue to be subjected to laws and regulations; otherwise, they'll choose to do the wrong thing by preserving their own selfish interests instead of preserving those of the greater good.

Audi Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2011 Q5 2.0T Premium Plus with 10,000 miles per year are .00170 and 52%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
AFS probably does have an MSD program, but I'm not sure of the specifics.

Separate question, I know the prevailing logic is put as little up front costs into the lease deal as possible, but I have a trade worth 10k and would like my payments to be as low as possible (for multiple reasons). Is there a way to preserve the tax benefit of a trade in on a lease? In Mass that adds another $600 to my bottom line. If I just take cash value, I don't get tax benefit.
On the other hand, the cap cost is part of the calculation of the finance charge, so you'll save on "interest" (it isn't actually interest) if you reduce the cap cost.
Overall, the cheapest way to lease is to put 0 down, no trade-in (sell your old car yourself and pay no tax), and swallow the larger monthly payments, which can be paid partly with the money you get when you sell your old car. During normal times of inflation (it's coming again soon, trust me), those large monthly payments will be paid back with cheaper dollars.
Even with 36/12k you may not reach 35k miles if you stay well within mileage.
Whereas purchasing, with 4 years and 50k mile warranty, you'll use Audicare @ 15k,25k,35k and 45k all during your warranty period and therefore easily covering you in case of warranty issues with your Audi. Seems to be a better deal for purchase over leasing. IMO.
What is Audi Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 42 month lease of a 2011 Q5 2.0T Premium Plus with 12,000 miles per year?
Thanks!
I hope all is well with you. I'm thinking of leasing a Q5 3.2 Premium Plus can you provide me with the Audi Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease on the 2011 Q5 3.2 Premium Plus with 10,000 miles per year? Thank You.

Audi Financial Services' October buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2011 Q5 Premium with 15,000 miles per year are .00170 and 53%, respectively.
This truck's 12k residual is 2% higher and its 10k residual is 3% higher.
In many states you still get the tax credit for the vehicle that you traded in, even if you have the dealer cut you a check for it rather than applying the proceeds to your lease.

Do you have MF and residual terms for a 2011 2.0 Q5 Prem Plus with B&O and Nav? both 12K and 15K per year, 36 months? Does including Audi Care make any difference?
Thanks!
How did I do here? /Very Good/Good/Ok/Bad ?
MSRP is $39,215
Invoice Price is $36,533
At lease end, if your residual is attractive and you decide to sell the car to a dealer, don't expect them to sell it at the residual value.
VW Credit will try to sell it to the dealer at something like private party sale which is likely well above your residual. (i.e. residual mght be 23k and they will ask the dealer to pay $28k for the car.) It's the most ridiculous thing.
I should comment that i was dealing with non-audi dealers. i dont' know if they would try to screw their own dealers out of purchasing the car.
They will only honor their residual if the lesee buys the car themselves. They will not honor it if you trade the car in at the end of the lease.
What a Joke. Last time I ever deal with Audi and their finance company. You want to be a Luxury brand, then act like one. Not some cheap dishonest used car dealership.
I should mention, to be fair, that this was experienced when trying to trade the car in at non-audi dealerships. I have not idea if they would try to screw their own dealers out of buying out your lease.
Can you please tell me current money factor and residual value on a 2011 Q5 3.2 Premium Plus Quattro for 3 year lease / 15K miles per year? I know a month ago residual was 50% and money factor for top credit tier was .00178. Does it matter if we order with panorama roof delete?
Thanks very much.
Drive off required would be $2069.00. I know I can do better but where do you think is most room for negotiating. What do you think might be generally a good deal? Thanks.
Requested another quote on the same vehicle - 42 month lease, at 10,000 miles per year and received a quote of $713 per month.
I thought both quotes were very high. I was expecting something in the high 500's or low $600's. It was my first try at this. Were these quotes in fact too high? Any suggestions on pursuing this further or am I out of my league in trying to lease an Audi Q5? I just gave my paid off Lexus RX 300 to my son and recently sold my BMW 740i. Thanks Car Man and others for your advise and guidance. Jimmie13

I don't quote understand what your complaint is. When you lease a car - residual value is clearly marked in your contract, and you have the option of buying out the car at this price at the end of the lease. This is the beauty of leasing - someone is guaranteeing you the future value of the car.
Now, if you forfeit your buy-out option - VW Credit should be free to sell your car for whatever they want, or as much as they can. When they miss on their residual projections, and they have to sell cars at a loss - no one is complaining, so what is the problem if they sell the car to a dealer for market value?
You have the option to buy out the car not to make profit, but to keep it. If you want - you can buy it for your residual, pay it in full or finance, pay registration and sales tax - and then you can do with it whatever you want, but they are not contractually obligated to sell the car for residual to anyone else but you.

Audi Financial Services' October buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2011 Q5 Premium Plus with 15,000 miles per year are 00170 and 49%, respectively.
The residual value for a lease with only 12,000 miles per year is 2% higher.
I believe that the addition of Audi Care increases your vehicle's residual value by 1%.

Audi Financial Services' October buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2011 Q5 3.2 Premium Plus quattro with 15,000 miles per year are .00161 and 50%, respectively. The roof doesn't matter.

15,000 miles per year is the highest mileage allowance that AFS publishes residual values for. If you need to drive more than that, you will have to purchase additional miles on a per-mile basis. It will be less expensive to do so at lease signing than it would be to wait until lease-end and have to pay an excess mileage penalty.

Can you tell me the resideuals for a 36 month lease at 10/12/15k miles per year and the base money factors? Looking at a premium (not premium plus) model.
Also there is $1500 loyatly rebate for a purchase, do you know if it applies to lease or if it is reduced to $750 (was told this by a dealer)?
Been shopping around looking at other SUVs but keep coming back to as the Q5 being the best combination of what I am looking for: good gas mileage, not too small, decent handling/acceleration and the looks, IMHO are probably the best of any of the competitors. Just need to be confident I'm getting a good deal before pulling the trigger. Thanks in advance
Similar question here for Nov money factor and acquisition fee for Q5 premium. It appears the Q7 buy rate declined quite a bit. Has the Q5 buy rate declined as well? I put down a deposit at the end of the Oct but won't sign the leasing agreement and pick up the vehicle until next week. Does that mean I'm qualified for the Nov money factor instead of the October one?
Also, I got conflicting message for the standard acquisition fee charged by AFS. I saw both $625 and $695 being discussed on this forum. Can you confirm?
Much appreciated.
Can someone help me figure out how much I would save by doing this as a prepaid lease vs. a standard lease?
Thanks!
Audi Financial Services' November buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2011 Q5 2.0T Premium with 15,000 miles per year are .00149 and 52%, respectively.
The residual value for a 12,000 mile per year lease is 2% higher. the 10k resid is 3% higher.
What the dealer told you was correct, the loyalty cash is only $750 on leases.

Don't forget that Audi is waiving the first month's payment on leases this month.

Thanks.
I am about to lease a Q5 3.2 Premium Plus with Nav (10,000 miles per year) and I am curious to hear if the deal that is being presented to me makes sense. With $3500 down the monthly payment is $670. This payment includes sales tax, etc.....an all in number. I was told that the current deal (Audi will pick up the first payment) is included in the price / payment. Just want to hear if I am getting a good deal or am getting the wool pulled over my eyes! If so, what should I negotiate for? What is reasonable? BTW - I live in the Northeast. Thank you in advance for your response!
I have a few questions so will post all here. If anyone can help in any area it would be appreciated.
What are the Nov lease rates? Need MF and residual for 12K and 15K for 36mo, 42mo & 48mo.
When does Conquest program expire and is it still $750 for either a buy or lease?
Lastly is Audi Care a good purchase (buy or lease) and if so at the $790 or was someone able to negotiate this?
Thank you.
42/12k. 2500 total due @ signing is 689. $4000 total due is 649.
MF= .00185 Resi= 47%
Any thoughts?
MSRP is 46375
My deal 44600
47%, .00169
2500 down to reduce cap cost
Gives me a payment of 609.14
Audi makes first payment

The numbers for an otherwise identical 42 month lease are .00169 and 44%.
I don't believe that Audi is providing conquest cash on this vehicle this month. There's loyalty cash and the waiver of your first month's payment though.
Audi Care makes more sense on leases through AFS than pre-paid maintenance does for most other manufacturers because Audi bumps the residual value of vehicles that have it by 1%, helping to offset the cost.
