I went to the dealer to check out the A5 in Auto with Premium Package. They were asking around 45k for the car. I know that there are not many in stock right now, and I most likely would order one to the specs that I want. This would be my daily ride. There are no deals on this car right now. Should be around high 5's per month..but they are quoting me around 7...anyone have any thoughts?

 

Audis normally have higher lease rates than other German makers.



What was the MF?

 

Sticker was $45k

 

I am not an expert with lease rates. I put too many miles on per year to lease.


MF is known as the Money Factor, comparable to APR. I believe if you can lower your MF you will see a significant reduction on the lease payment.

the lease is not aggressive on this car at all right now. no special rates, and typical residuals.
btw, I am not sure where you are getting high 5's from, I leased my TT in October at buy rate (1.4%), and 54% residual, bought the car at cost (45K, msrp was 48K) and it's still in the low to mid 6's. with demand the way it is, the lease will not get better anytime soon, so a purchase is a better move with rates the way they are.

just my .02

 

leases on new model cars are ALWAYS bad for a year or two while they wait and see how the market accepts the model.

 

I just went to a dealer in Cherry Hill, NJ last week and was quoted 7's to low 8's depending on how you option it out.

 

So, lemme get this straight; your expectations for a $45k+ car should be a payment of high $500's?? And you base this on what??

If you're expecting that sort of payment maybe you should consider an A4. Just say'n.

 

 

UMMM..maybe past experiences and leasing over 10+cars...And yes I have had vehicles where they were model 1 yr of production....

please add only relevance to this thread...

 

Okay then; so how much a month do you pay for your BMW 335?

 

335 coupe lease is in the 500 range, sedan can be had in the high 400s. last month BMW had a promotion where all the BMW employees could lease Z4 for 99 a month with 0 down.

 

Holy sub-vented lease rates. They just ***** those thing's out.

 

yea... apparently bmw wanted these Z4s to be seen on the roads

 

I'm sure. Sales for the Z4 have been on a steady drop since it's introduction. I know one particular guy who was leasing a Z4M Roadster for less then $500/mo.


Your screenname is brilliant btw.
