Hi fasanfamily. Thanks for taking the time to give back by sharing the details of your lease with everyone. As you know, real world examples like this are always helpful for others who are in the market for similar vehicles. If you'd like, you can stop by the Dealer Ratings & Reviews section of Edmunds.com to share your thoughts on your recent dealer experience as well. Thanks again and enjoy your new A3 .

Lease offer on a new A3--Bay Area by kurtisg

09 A3 2.0T S-tronic fwd

Convenience
Nav
Open Sky
 
MRSP: $36,050
 
Price quoted: $32,995
 
I should start by saying I've never leased a car before. I usually just buy them. I went in purchase this car for cash on the best price I could negotiate. I'm also looking to trade in my 2000 S4 w/110k mi.
 
They only offered me $5k for my trade.
 
Then I asked what the lease terms would be if I applied the $5k trade as my cash down.
 
36 mo/10,000 miles/yr
 
MSRP: 36,050
Residual %: 52%
Initial cap cost: 32,995
Lease Money Factor: .00110
Monthly payment: 386.36
 
Any advice? I know I should get more for my trade but they gave me the story about how hard these cars (older S4s) are to sell at auction these days, blah, blah.
 
If I just buy the car outright is 3K off MSRP typical? It was the best "Internet offer" I received.

Hi guys.
 
I have a 2006 A3 on lease in New England. The lease expires next month. I would like to buy the car.
 
The residual is about $16k. I heard that dealers can buy it for $1k less than the residual. Audi currently has a "down to 0.9% APR on certified pre-owned cars" special advertised. This probably won't apply to the A3, but meh... this post is for someone to check my math. I can get bank/CU finance 5.99% APR. State tax is 7.5%.
 
It seems the math goes like this:
Car value: 16k
Tax: 1200
Cost to buyout lease = $17200.
 
If I finance with the bank/CU over 3 years, the payments are about $519, for a total of about $1500 in interest.
 
Which is where it gets interesting......
 
Say the dealer buys it for $15k and certifies it as a pre-owned car (extra warranty etc) and then sells it to me for $18455 incl tax (approx $2175 profit before tax, certification and warranty fees). At 0.9% APR, that works out to the SAME $519/month for 36 months.
 
So... the dealer gets money.... I get an extra warranty. Not sure if the leftover from the $2175 is going to be worth it to the dealer though ?
 
Thoughts/comments/etc ?

Am in the same situation and must make a decision by end of Feb. Have you called to negotiate if your residual/payoff can be lower? I will, but closer to lease end. My decision is between financing with VW if I can get good finance rate or buying car outright. Will also throw in the idea of purchasing an A4 Avant as well, when MB lease is up in June.
 
Anyone else have wholesale numbers?

Hi botero. This is actually the Audi A3 lease questions discussion. You will have better luck finding out answers to your questions on the A4 over in the "Audi A4 Lease Questions" discussion. Please post any future messages about it there.
 
Since we're already here, here's the info that you're looking for. Audi's lease program for the 2009 A4 varies by trim level, term, and mileage allowance. I will have to make some assumptions since you never mentioned what these variables are. Audi Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2009 Audi A4 2.0T Sedan Premium with quattro and 15,000 miles per year are .00127 and 52%, respectively.
 
BMW Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2009 BMW 328i with 15,000 miles per year are .00175 and 57%.
