Hi Car_man, Appreciate your info here. I wanted to confirm the lease info for a particular A3 since I don't know if certain packages make a difference on the lease rates. Also does prepaying for Audi Care raise the residual here by 1%? Thought I read that somewhere on these boards. A3 2.0 S-Line with Open Sky, Black on Black MSRP 30,895 on Edmunds calculator (though $30,840 at dealer) Invoice 28,634 on Edmunds calculator 36 mo lease 12k and 15k miles annually Is MF .00205 as above with 51% residual? Or am I slightly off? Thank you.

Hi, I am planning on getting an A3 this or the next weekend... am on a tight budget and so I'll be getting the very basic automatic in lava-grey - no premium, cold weather, open sky, nothing! This DC area dealer offered to sell at $1,500 below invoice - it works out to be $1,200 below KBB/Edmunds invoice. Audi A3 DSG Lava-grey MSRP: 28,045 (destination charge included) Negotiated price: 24,873 With all taxes and tile: 26,652 (no 550 warranty included) I plan on paying the taxes, title, processing fee, and say 2,000 down-payment from the 24,873 negotiated price(more if the lease deals are better) 1. Does the deal sound OK - 1,500 below invoice? Shall I try to bargain further? 2. I plan to lease it for 3-4 years  10,000 miles/year. Does Audi have any offers for leasing terms? And what is the residual value and money factor for this car? 3. If I lease it, should I go for premium/cw/open sky? Seems that everyone has some options on their A3s. Would the monthly lease payments be substantially different? 4. And finally, should I be aware of any other "unexpected costs" that I might encounter at the dealership? This is going to be my first car purchase in the US (or anywhere for that matter), and I've only been to a dealership once, for the A3 testdrive. Any insights are very much appreciated. Allbest.

I was offered (verbally) by my local Audi dealership for A3 barebone at $25K out the door (including tax, fees). The sales tax is in FL 7%. Not sure about the MSRP, but I think it was in the $26K range (including the destination charge). It is absolutely the basic model with 6-speed Manual, clothes interior, red or white color. No upgrade! Should I wait for the special lease program? I should have leased the car when I was there in the month of May....where they offered us $2K down, $340/mo plus tax with auto trans & audi care program for 12K per year (3 year lease). Anyone know if they are going to have a new lease program for A3? Please advise. Thanks! |

Greetings. The lease rate recently posted seems to conflict with the data I am obtaining from a local phila dealer. For the 2007 A3 2.0T, the dealer states: 24 month (15k) - Resid = 56% and Money Factor = .0033 36 month (15K) - Resid = 51% and Money Factor = .0033 Others are posting a MF of .00205. Can someone confirm? Thank you.

Replying to: amitvisual (Feb 24, 2006 3:41 pm) I am also looking at the A4 and the BMW 328 and so far the BMW with leather, auto, sport Pckg for $465 with first payment DMV and security deposit seems to be the best deal. A4 is the end of its life (2009 new model) and the A3 has ridicules rate around mid $500. Any thoughts anyone?

Replying to: rong (Jul 27, 2007 9:43 am) Now, it's the end of the model year for the 2007's, and I'm ready. I know there are plenty left on the lots. I live in New Orleans, but have also been looking in Baton Rouge and Houston. Plenty available, but the financing is ABSOLUTELY AWFUL! I didn't even ask the MF or residuals, because the quote I got for $3000 down, 48 month, 12k miles was "a little over $600 a month!" I was disgusted! I am leasing a 2007 GMC Acadia which has an MSRP about $15k more than the A3 for that! It seems obvious that Audi is not serious about selling these A3's. That being said, I really like the car, and the 2008 changes seem minor, but cool. Sirius is standard and iPod link is available now. I know they are in the US, as a dealer has told me they are in the port of Houston. Does anybody have any idea about time from port to lot? Also, I echo the question above. Any ideas about lease specials on the new model year? Does Audi have a track record with that?
