Replying to: Car_man (Dec 14, 2007 3:12 am) The deal I posted is an official Audi advert. in the DC area. I emailed all the local dealers (there are only 4) and asked what the selling price of the car is and got back responses that they would all be happy to schedule test drives, but nothing concrete in the way of a selling price number... Do you have any tips on negotiating a better deal? What should I be especially certain to keep a lookout for? Thanks so much! Lulu

Replying to: lulu20 (Dec 14, 2007 6:12 am) Here's a specific response from one of the dealers and it seems that the MF is different from the one you stated is available in DC. Here are the terms: Down payment: $2,500 Refundable security deposit: $300 Acquisition fee: $575 First month's payment: $279 Amount due at lease inception: $3,654 Excludes taxes, title and dealer fees 55% and .00115

As a California resident my son (age 25) is seeking to take advantage of Audi's special leasing before the end of today on an Audi A3 automatic. He has been given the price as $29,988. He has been offered a monthly payment of $311.84 with a $2700 down payment. Based on a post I saw on your site, is it worth taking the $895 wear and tear insurance option. He will be driving the full 15,000 miles per year and goes snowboarding a lot. Also, you mentioned the ability to negotiate more miles at a discounted rate. Is this at the time of the lease or later into it? What is a good residual value for this car? Finally, is a $350 fee upon return of the car mandatory or can we bargain that one away? Thanks for your help

I am looking for a MF, residual on an A3 with 12k/month on a 24 month lease. I am wondering if Audi is offering a customer loyalty incentive as I currently have an A6. Thanx Carman

Replying to: jdmjd (Dec 31, 2007 8:13 am) If your son knows that he will drive more than 15,000 miles per year, he would be better off paying for the additional miles that he plans to use at lease signing than waiting until the end of his lease and having to pay a penalty for excess wear and tear. Miles that are purchased at signing are less expensive. Audi Financial Services charges a $575 acquisition fee at lease signing and a $350 disposition fee at lease-end. Neither of these charges are negotiable, but AFS will waive its disposition fee for consumers who lease another vehicle through them. It is difficult for me to give you my opinion on the selling price that your son was quoted for this car without knowing what its MSRP is. The MSRP will show me how much of a discount he is being given. Let me know what it is and I'll tell you what I think., I see that the deal that he was quoted includes a $2,700 down payment. He would be better off going with a zero down lease, even though it means his monthly payment will be a little higher. Consumers who make large down payments on leases risk losing part or all of them if their vehicle is totaled in an accident or stolen and never recovered. Once your son has arrived at a selling price that he is comfortable with, make sure that the dealer calculates his lease payment using Audi Financial Services' buy rate lease money factor. AFS' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a base 2008 Audi A3 2.0T with 15,000 miles per year are .00075 and 48% in California.
