Replying to: nvnick (Oct 13, 2005 10:09 am) 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!

Replying to: jccai1 (Oct 18, 2005 12:18 pm) 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!

Looking at an A3 Sport, either 24/36/39 months. DO you have 12k/15k residuals & money factors? Replies to this message: Car_man (Nov 20, 2005 8:08 am)

Replying to: nvnick (Nov 12, 2005 11:51 am) 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.

#9 of 241 credit score=money factors? by chiquita Nov 26, 2005 (2:14 pm)
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?

Replying to: chiquita (Nov 26, 2005 2:14 pm) 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. Car_man Host Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums
#11 of 241 Lease rates ? by mind Dec 14, 2005 (10:41 am)
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 ! Replies to this message: Car_man (Dec 28, 2005 3:38 am) rjlaero (Dec 28, 2005 7:37 pm) mind (Jan 03, 2006 10:33 am) and 1 more...

Replying to: mind (Dec 14, 2005 10:41 am) Welcome mind. While Audi's exact residual values for the A2 vary depending upon exactly which model you want, the 36 month, 15,000 miles per year residual value of 52% that you were quoted looks about right. Many banks do publish tiered money factors for the vehicles that they lease, but I do not recall ever seeing credit tiers associated with leases through Audi Financial Services. I was always under the impression that AFS used more of a pass / fail system for leases like BMW Financial Services does than a tiered system like Honda Finance.

Replying to: Car_man (Dec 28, 2005 3:38 am) You are correct that Audi has a pass/fail lease structure, and they do not have a tier system. Replies to this message: mind (Jan 03, 2006 10:33 am) danphx (Jan 06, 2006 3:23 pm) Car_man (Jan 06, 2006 3:00 am)

Replying to: rjlaero (Dec 28, 2005 7:37 pm) Hi guys Thanks for the info ! The dealer initially tried for a 0.00315 MF. That was stopped I have the car, and am VERY happy with it so far. Interestingly enough, it has about 400 miles on the clock and is one of the original custom builds that came into the US with window-blinds built into the doors etc. It seems it was swopped from dealer-to-dealer several times. -Mind Replies to this message: danphx (Jan 06, 2006 3:23 pm)
