Car_man,
 
Do you have the money factors and residuals for a base A3 or a sport A3? Looking at 36 months, either 36 or 45k miles. Thanks!

Hi! Are these lease programs offered by Audi Financial? If I add on a couple of other options, like adding Convenience Pkg to 2.0T Sport, will that change any of the variables?
 
Also, has anyone tried leasing from a third party auto leasing company instead of from the dealership? What are the pros and cons of going that route?
 
Thanks in advance!

Yes, these are Audi Financial rates that I obtained from LeaseCompare. Adding options won't change residuals or money factor. I've not tried third parties yet, but they can sometimes beat what the manufacturer offers. Good Luck!

Here's the informaiton that you're looking for, nvnick. If you were to lease a 2006 Audi A3 2.0T Sport through Audi Financial Services right now for 24 months with 15,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00280 and 63%, respectively. the numbers for an otherwise identical 36 month lease should be .00280 and 52%. Lastly, the numbers for an otherwise identical 39 month lease should be .00300 and 49%. The 12,000 miles per year residual values for all of these terms would be 2% higher.

Hi. on the MF and residuals quoted so far in this discussion, what kind of credit score do you need in order to get these??? can dealers refuse these rates...and what can we do about it? is it all score based... or does having 3 prior leases in perfect standing have ANY clout?? thanks! hurry i want to lease soon. have the MF/residuals changed since last post?

Hi chiquita. Your credit score will definitely have an impact upon your ability to get a bank's best possible lease money factor. Some banks have different lease money factors for vehicles that vary depending upon what sort of credit score the lessee has. I am pretty sure that Audi Financial Services uses a pass / fail system though, either you qualify for its special lease program or you don't. I am not sure exactly what score is necessary to qualify for its special lease program though. Always remember that dealers are usually not required to give consumers the lowest possible money factor on vehicles. They are often allowed to "mark-up" money factors to add additional back-end profit to deals. As long as you know what the buy rate lease money factor for the car that you are interested in should be, you should be able to get the dealer that you are working with to use it to calculate your vehicle's lease payment.
 
Audi did introduce a new lease program for the month of December. Its current 36 month buy rate lease money factor for the 2006 A3 is .00290.

Lease rates ? by mind

Hi guys
 
I have just moved to the US, and want to get an A3. If they do a credit check they get "record not found" (obviously).
 
The first deal I was offered over the phone was $569/month and about $1300 down (first month + registration + destination). This is 36 months, and 15000 miles/year.
 
From calcs, this works out at MSRP of $29785 (premium,
cold weather, open sky and Xeon), 52% residual, and MF of 0.0029.
 
However, when I went in to test drive the A4 and sign the paperwork for the credit check, the dealer tried to prep me with the story about "tiers" of credit.
 
Soo.... two questions:
 
a) Is 52% residual value correct, or should it be higher ? Previous posts have mentioned 52% AND 62%. Which is it ?
 
b) I would really like to know if Audi Financial
 Services has "tiers" of interest rates, or if the
 dealer is just about to try to screw me by loading the
 interest rate. Is the "tiers" of credit story correct ?
 
Thanks !
