The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of a Prestige are .00044 and 53%.
If you were to lease with only 10,000 miles per year, this car's residual value would be 1% higher.

How should I expect the dealer to respond to my knowledge of these values? In very preliminary discussions with 2 local dealers within the past week, I have been quoted 6% (0.0025 MF) for a 2012 premium plus!! This is without running a credit history, but it's sure a long way away from 0.00044. So my specific question is, practically speaking, how do you walk into a dealership with these values and walk out with a good lease rate? Does the dealer acknowledge the validity of these numbers?
Thanks to all - esp car_man for literally years of posting this invaluable info.
Car_man - do residual values change with lease term? I got an S4 quote yesterday and was quoted .00092 lease rate and 55% residual for 39 months. I can see where 55% makes sense given 36 months is 57%. Regarding the lease rate, do you feel this 2x markup of the base lease rate is fair? This is 2.2% vs base of 1.05%. Thanks in advance!

I am interested in leasing a 2012 premium plus s4. I understand that the selling price, residual and money factor is what determines the payments. I have 3 questions.
1. If I want to lease an Audi with 25k miles a year. Would the residual be lowered, or would the residual percentage be fixed and I just prepay for miles? I heard from somewhere beyond 15k miles a year, the residual wouldn't change but you just end up prepaying for the additional miles at 10 cents a mile.
2. My friend leased an infiniti coupe at 25k miles a year and she told me the dealership used their own cars as trade-ins to save on taxes for her, the taxes saved was used to compensate for the 25k miles she needs. Is that legit? I never heard of dealerships doing something like that unless you have your own car as a trade in for tax saving. She even showed me the contract so I was surprised.
3. The Premium Plus S4 I am looking at stickers around 58,000. Assuming I was going to lease the car at 25k miles a year for a 36month lease, and the negotiated price is right around 56,000. and my credit score is 690. How much do you think is a reasonable down payment for my lease to be right around $600 per month? What would be a reasonable money factor for my credit score?
Thank you so much.
Can you tell me the June buy rate MF and residual for both a 2013 S4 Prestige and Premium Plus, 10k miles per year, 36 month lease?
I was quoted .00191 for a 36 month lease and .00211 for a 39 month lease, I didn't get residual but would assume its around 55%.
Thanks,

The money factor for the 2013 S4 Prestige is the same, but the residual value would be 2% lower.
If your credit is in good shape, it looks like the dealer is attempting to mark your vehicle's money factor up to pad your deal.

If you have the opportunitiy could you tell me what the mf and residual % currently are on the Audi S4 2012 Premium Plus for 42 months / 10K ? I am looking at one but the numbers do not seem to add up properly. I see you answered a similar question above #207 - however I am guessing that the numbers would have changed for June. Thanks for your assistance.
Nick
If the MF is 0.00191, residual 59% for 36k miles, that's not bad. At first visit to this dealer, he stated MF of 0.00262 but when I asked him about it again, he gives me the run around. His quote was in M3 territory which is insane.
Thanks for all your help on these forums!!!
I am looking at a 2013 S4:

Dealer is willing to do $769 inc tax here in CA
This price includes Audicare. Term is 42 mos.
How is this deal?

The car in question is being driven by the dealer manager and currently has 1600 miles on it. I'm wondering how to factor that into the purchase price. It's a loaded prestige 6MT with ADS, Nappa, sunshades, titanium package, so I think original sticker was around $64k.

The numbers for an otherwise identical 39-month lease are .00064 and 52%.
In order for me to personally justify purchasing what is essentially a low mileage used vehicle aka demo over a brand new one I personally would have to receive a significant additional discount. Unfortunately, I have found that dealers never seem to be willing to discount demos enough for my taste.

I don't know what this car's exact dealer invoice price is, but I suspect that the selling price that you were quoted is around $1,600 or so over invoice. That's not terrible, but there is some room to work with there. I suspect that this car is in fairly low supply so you may not have a lot of options, but you could always shop around if you want to. Again, this deal isn't bad...I just wouldn't be surprised if someone was able to beat it.
I see that you are considering making a $3,500 capitalized cost reduction on your lease. This doesn't really reflect upon the quality of the deal that you are getting, but I always advise consumers to put as little money down as possible when leasing. Consumers who make large down payments on leased vehicles risk losing part or all of the money that they put down if their vehicle is totaled in an accident or stolen and never recovered. Even though it means that your monthly payment will be a little higher, it would be much safer to go with a zero down lease.

I custom ordered a 2013 S4 premium+ model at a NOVA dealership. The car is scheduled to arrive at dealer by the end of month. We negotiated for $500 over invoice. I am interested in leasing the vehicle. Can you please provide the Residual and MF for a 36month lease with 12k miles for month of July. Many Thanks.
$500 over invoice is a great selling price for this car.

Can you tell me the current AFS money factor and residual value for a 36 and 39-month lease of a 2013 S4 Sedan Premium Plus with 15,000 miles per year for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
Thanks!

Can you also include MF and Residual for a 42 month lease with 15k/mo
I apppreciate the help!

What would the money factor and residual be for a 36-month lease of a 2013 S4 Sedan Premium Plus with 12,000 p/y? Does Audi Care add 1% or 2% to the residual? Thank you.
I saw a recent post reporting a negotiated sales price of $500 over invoice. Considering my locale of downstate New York, is $1,000 over invoice fair?
Has anyone has any success negotiating in other ways, such as a reduced acquisition fee, discounted Audi Care, etc.?
Thanks in advance.

The last time that I checked, Audi Care added 1% to vehicles' residual values.

If you were to lease with only 10,000 miles per year, this car's residual values would be 1% higher.

Many thanks for the information and replies.
I have a test drive scheduled for the holiday weekend. If I fall in love with the S4, I have to sell my wife on the car (and the price) too. :sick:
How much would it likely lower the residual?
Car_man
Host
Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum
As far as the difference in residual values, there's probably a 3% spread between 42- and 48-months on most Audis.

Any word on the new numbers that came out on Sept. 5, 2012 for 36 month, 12K per year, S4 Premium Plus?
Just to make sure I am negotiating off the correct numbers: Using the Edmunds invoice calculator, I come up with an invoice of $48,814 for a Premium Plus, w/ Sport Differential, 19" wheels, in Monsoon Gray Metallic.
Again, I was quoted $1,000 over invoice. I am going to try to get the dealer to throw in the "Supercharged" badges because the "3.0 T" badges bother me Apparently, the 3.0 T badges will be replaced with the Supercharged badges when the factory runs out of the 3.0 T badges.

You're coming in a touch low, but how can you even make calculations without knowing the residual?
I just leased an S4 and my numbers were similar so hopefully I can give some context. My cap cost was similar to yours but MSRP was $57900. Residual is 31845. Audi care, too. I put more down, $3300 (more on that later). My monthly is $723. Reverse engineering that, looks like MF is .00141.
Verbal deal was $2800 down which included $1000 "conquest cash". I confirmed the availability of this incentive twice with the dealer before coming in to sign papers. Once I'm in his office "oops!" that's only for MY 2012 S4's. After a standoff we agreed to split the diff and I paid $500 more down. Bummer, but oh well. I f***ing luv this car.
Good luck!
Glad to hear you love it - I'm excited to see if I can put this together.
Hope to hear from you car_man!
thanks

This calculator is very accurate for me. When I enter numbers right from my lease contract I get my exact pymt of $723.
OK I'll shut up now, I know you're waiting to hear from car_man
