    Looking to get some input on the numbers for leasing a 2012 A7 in April. Is this a good deal for a lease?

    Premium Plus w/20" sport package. Cap cost is $62,500. Mf is .00163 with residual at 48% or $31,700. 42 months, 12k per year, $5,400 due at signing, $805 per month.

    Thanks,

    Hi stuntman1. The money factor that you were quoted is right on the money. It is a little more difficult for me to evaluate the selling price without knowing what this car's MSRP is. Do you have that number? Let me know and I'll tell you what I think.

    I have to say though that five grand is a lot of money to pay at lease signing. Chances are that part of that money is going towards a capitalized cost reduction aka down payment for your A7. I always advise consumers who lease to put as little money down as possible. 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.

    Hi , i think is just a average deal.. Not A Good or Great one.

    A7 Premium Plus, Hvn Blk, Nougat, Ash
    20" Sport Package, Drivers Assist, wheel locks, Mats
    MSRP 68,100
    CAP COST 65,810
    MF .00183
    RES 46%
    Due at Start $2,774.32
    Payment 1,060.19
    They Said No Conquest on A7 cars. I have an Acura TL
    I got talked into leaving a deposit of $500 argg. Bad move. just wanted to leave. maybe I can dispute on my CC. Feeling worn out.

    Greetings Car_Man:

    Could you kindly post the April buy rate and residuals for 2012 & 2013 A7's in the Premium, Premium Plus and Prestige trim levels for the following terms and mileage:

    36/10
    36/12
    39/10
    39/12
    42/10; and
    42/12

    Many Thanks!

    Hey kerb. Audi Financial Services' April buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2012 A7 Premium with 12,000 miles per year are .00143 and 52%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.

    The numbers for an otherwise identical 39-month lease are .00163 and 50%.

    The numbers for an otherwise identical 42-month lease are .00163 and 48%.

    The money factors for the other versions of this car that you mentioned are the same. The residual values would be the same for the Premium Plus and they would be 4% lower for the Prestige.

    The residual values for leases with only 10,000 miles per year would be 1% higher.

    There is no lease program for the 2013 A7 yet.

    Hi Car_man,
    Are the lease rates out for May yet: Can you kindly provide the MF and Residual for May 2012:

    A7 Premium Plus and A7 Prestige
    36/15K
    42/15K

    Also a dealer told me that there isn't any Conquest Rebate on the A7 is this true ?
  • CarMan@EdmundsCarMan@Edmunds Member Posts: 38,514
    Yes they are deanooh. Audi Financial Services' May buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2012 A7 Premium Plus with 15,000 miles per year are .00124 and 49%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.

    The numbers for an otherwise identical 42-month lease are .00144 and 45%.

    The numbers for the Prestige are .00124 / 45% and .00144 / 41%.

    What you were told about the conquest cash is correct, the A7 has owner loyalty cash available on it right now but I'm not aware of any conquest cash on it.

    Car_man (or anyone else):

    I found a dealer that has a "corporate" 2012 A7 Prestige with about 11k miles. How much (%) can I attribute to "depreciation" to determine a reasonable price for this "used" car? The car technically is not new but certified pre-owned with a 100k warranty.

    Any help or guidance please?

    Thanks!
  • all4carsall4cars Member Posts: 5
    I don't see many discussion about the buy price. Almost all the topics are leasing. Is buying not a good idea for A7?
    I'm looking at a premium plus with MSRP $64820. What do you guys think is the good offer price? As 2013 model is around the corner, dealer should try to move out the 2012 model, right?

    Thanks
  • kumquattkumquatt Member Posts: 7
    All4cars -

    I'm also looking to buy. Just contacting a number of dealers around me I found pricing for a 2012 A7 Premium Plus to be between a few hundred over invoice to $1000 over invoice. Dealers are anxious to move cars to close the month of May, and more eager to move those cars on the lot or on the boat than to order the 2013 (which I'm leaning towards for that 3rd rear seat option).

    Good luck!
  • selinselin Member Posts: 1
    Hello Car_man:

    Forgive my ignorance but how do the numbers you gave translate into an actual monthly payment in dollars? Thanks for the help.
  • all4carsall4cars Member Posts: 5
    Thanks Kumguatt!
    I would also like to have 3 back seats. But that probably means we need to pay MSRP or close to MSRP for the 2013 model. Other than 3rd seat in the back, I heard there is no other change.

    I think if we can get a few hundred to $1000 over invoice, that should be a pretty good deal. agree?
  • all4carsall4cars Member Posts: 5
    I just found out on the edmunds.com there is $2000 Manufacturer to Customer rebate. If I negotiate the price to $1000 over invoice, I can get it for $1000 less invoice?
  • kumquattkumquatt Member Posts: 7
    Hey all4cars:

    Just emailing around, found you 1 dealer who will order a 2013 model for 3% over invoice. I'm sure if you are serious and look around you can probably maybe get that down to 2% maybe?

    I've been told if you know exactly what you want to contact the dealership's fleet manager who needs to move volume. Not sure if there is any truth to this or not.

    I also saw on Edmunds that there is up to $2k rebate. Don't know all the details or where to find them, but "up to" I would think means you need to order top of the line perhaps. So, the actual rebate might be less. Please post any details if you find out.

    Thanks!
    Kumquatt
  • all4carsall4cars Member Posts: 5
    Hi Kumquatt,
    The rebate is audi loyalty program. So if you are audi owner you can get that. Unfortunately, I'm not.
    Do you know what is the extra charge for the 2013 3rd back seat option? Or is that standard for 2013?

    Thanks
  • kumquattkumquatt Member Posts: 7
    all4cars:

    The 2013 3rd back seat option is not standard. Dealer informed me the cost is $350, so it's pretty small.
  • CarMan@EdmundsCarMan@Edmunds Member Posts: 38,514
    Hi kumquatt. Banks publish residual values to estimate how much depreciation vehicles will experience over a certain period of time. Audi Financial Services' current 12-month, 10,000 mile per year residual value for a 2012 A7 Prestige is 59%.

    This means that Audi's own captive finance company believes that this car will be only worth 59% of its original full MSRP after one year and 10,000 miles of use. this will give you a good guideline to use in your negotiations. Don't be surprised though if the dealer won't come close to this figure in terms of a selling price. The used vehicle market is very strong right now. You may find that the difference in price between a low mileage used vehicle and a brand new one is not as much as one would think.

    That's not an ignorant question at all, selin. You definitely should check out the following articles that are available here at Edmunds.com: 10 Steps to Leasing a New Car and Calculate Your Own Lease Payment. They will answer your questions.

    Hi all4cars. The only $2,000 cash incentive that I am aware of on the A7 is $2,000 in owner loyalty cash for purchases. On leases this cash drops to $1,000. You should definitely take this cash into account during your negotiations.

    Not a lease but got top of the trade value for 2010 Q5 and $6K off list for 2012 A7 Prestige.

    Just FYI.
  • blinkn09blinkn09 Member Posts: 8
    I got the A7 last month for $905/month with $3500 down. I didn't qualify for the $1500 incentive for driving a BMW. I forgot the money factor, but I got the residual to 53%. Premium plus with sports package. After all was said and done I ended up with ~930/month because they paid off my previous car and I bought the audi care maintence package.

  • patent11patent11 Member Posts: 3
    Thanks Carman. I got a quote from an authorized Audi dealer for a 2012 A7 Prestige, 10K miles with a money factor of .00051 (so better than the buy rate you quoted) but a residual value of only 46% (so worse than the 57% you quoted).

    Seems odd to me that the numbers would be so far off and inconsistent from what you have - can you think of anything that might drive this variance?

    Thanks so much.
