Replying to: gotmine (May 10, 2005 8:46 am) I finally decided to not buying the A3 for now caused I really don't know whether the value of this car can hold up. Remember BMW 318 ?? Will wait and see. Steve |

I think I know why no one has reported leasing an A3.. Just looked at the 3yr/45K residuals... 48%-50%, depending on model... ouch..

Replying to: dl7265 (Aug 26, 2005 8:05 pm) I think that is a hard way to go... Once you top $25K for a luxury import, you'll have more leasers than buyers... Seems like they are giving away a big piece of the market.. Maybe not so much on the $25K strippers.... but, a lot of them will be right around $30K..... $575/mo. finance payments will price a lot of people out of the market... Hopefully for the buyers, actual resale will be better than those residuals...

Replying to: kyfdx (Aug 26, 2005 8:32 pm) Without a significant raise I'm out. Too bad about the terrible leases. Test drove a 2.0 DSG and fell in love. Guess I'll have to drive the Camry a bit longer.  -c |

Base + metallic paint + DSG. MSRP 27,390, selling price 26,125. I'll be leasing it but haven't squared away the terms just yet. Audi Finance is out of the question, their money rates are 6.9% and higher. Most dealers in my area are going with Chase who is working in the 3.9% - 4.9% range. Residuals at 15k miles are 51% for 36 months and 46% for 42, a little better for 12k miles. Chase has some nice features like pre-buying extra miles upfront at a discount (I run up miles and this helps avoid big over-charge at the end), and $1,000 damage allowance so you don't have to deal with nickel-and-dime stuff at lease end. The tradeoff is slightly higher fee structure.
