- Money Factor - is the money factor you get what the dealership will offer or will they raise it to make a profit?
- Residual
- How much will the money factor be reduced per security deposit?
- I am a USAA member and first time Audi customer, will I still qualify for the $1k marketing allowance and $500 loyalty/conquest?
Dealer may try to bump the MF for extra profit
No information on the Audi MSD program
You should still qualify for those incentives

Yes, purchasing AudiCare does increase the residual by 1%

Although I asked twice, she couldn't remember what the MSRP was (I actually asked for the cost of the car since I don't really care about MSRP) and she was gone for the day. Finally, she told me the car is supposed to be here at the end of the month and, "The programs change monthly so you can't lock in incentive." The salesman told me about a week ago that the car could be at the dealership on the 16th. That is a substantial difference, but even the end of the month is...this month.
Sorry for the long post, but this is an Autonation dealership. I am switching from BMW due to their customer service; I bought/leased 6 cars from the local dealership since 2009 for me and my wife. The sales manager at BMW happens to be the Audi sales manager's fiancé. Both are Autonation dealerships. An indication of how the relationship was, I turned in my 428 Grand Coupe more than a month ago and it was due back this Wednesday (paid for not having the car).
Current Audi programs set to expire on 30 June.
I do agree with one thing - loyalty and conquest are mutually exclusive.
And, I am not familiar with how, or when, you can "lock in" the lease parameters on an ordered car from Audi. BMW is more transparent in this area - you can choose either the numbers when you place the order or the numbers when you take delivery, whichever is better.
Still not a fan of AutoNation - and there are a bunch here in Denver.

2. Don't negotiate the MF; simply tell them you aren't signing a deal with an inflated MF. They know what the base rate is.
3. Shop as many dealers as you're willing to travel to. Might have to consider SoCal as well.

I actually sent some emails to other dealers this morning before reading your response. Out of curiosity, what brands lease well and what aspect makes you say Audis do not lease well?
Residual value, mainly. Audi does not inflate them like other brands do.
Before trying to find the best deal, you should test drive cars you are interested in. A good deal isn't so good if you don't like the car.

I have driven several cars that I am interested in. For my taste, the Audi is what I like the best. Of course, I like BMWs, but both our local dealers are Autonation and the only BMW I would realistically want - the 428 Grand Coupe - is the car I just returned (the new 3 series doesn't come out until next year from what I read). Other than Audi and BMW, I would wait to see if they add anything to the infotainment and safety systems of the IS350. By that time the Model 3 configurator will be out...yep, I have a deposit down. First world problems during a period where a lot of great cars are available.
I've never had the pleasure of shopping in that price range, but I agree, a lot of darn good cars out there to choose from.

That's for Tier 1 or 2. As the credit score goes down, the money factor goes up.

We suggest you target 6% off sticker, before applying the incentives.

If so could you prove the MF/RV for a P+ S3 in California for 36/12k.
Thanks!

Seems crazy to they hey can mark it up 7x if .00011 really is base rate.

The only incentive I see is First Month Paid. No loyalty?
Complimentary first payment, $1500 marketing allowance and $500 loyalty (if you are currently financed through AFS)

.00011 MF and 51% residual
$1500 marketing allowance
$500 loyalty/conquest
Complimentary 1st payment
So do the numbers I have make sense? I don't believe I qualify for the loyalty or conquest because I have a Mazda 6.
MSRP $51,225
Sale price $43,683
Residual 51% $26,124.75
MF .00011
$1200 out the door
$550 a month
36 months 10,000 miles
$1500 marketing allowance
$500 loyalty/conquest
Complimentary 1st payment
Ok so here it is with the selling price:
MSRP $51,225
Sale price $43,683
Residual 51% $26,124.75
MF .00011
$1200 out the door
$550 a month
36 months 10,000 miles
With those numbers, I get $495/mo plus tax.
What is the tax rate where you live?
Ask the dealer for the adjusted cap cost, which is the selling price plus any taxes and fees you are not paying up front. That might explain the difference in payment.

Adjusted cap cost is $43,972.71.
How do the numbers look?
I get $551/mo, so pretty close to the dealer quote.

AWD 36/7.5
AWD 24/7.5
AWD 36/10
The above for both P+ and Prestige
Thanks
MSRP: $52,455
$1200 out the door
$565 a month
36 months and 10,000 miles
after that I got the deal from a few posts above:
MSRP $51,225
Sale price $43,683
Residual 51% $26,124.75
MF .00011
$1200 out the door
$550 a month
36 months 10,000 miles
Adjusted cap cost $43,972.71
If everything is equal and the difference in MSRP is $1,230 shouldn't the monthly of the cheaper car be closer to $30 less. So around $535-$540 versus $550?
Subtract 1% for Prestige
Add 7% for 24 months
Subtract 1% for 10K/yr

On a specified deal, if the price changes by $1000, the payment changes by about $30/mo. (for a 36 month lease)
But, if you have a $50K MSRP vehicle and the payment is $500 mo., then a $49K MSRP vehicle would be about $490/mo., all else being equal.
