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 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 !

Replying to: rjlaero (Dec 28, 2005 7:37 pm) 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

I've never leased, but my current job makes it strongly desirable. I prefer the A3, so I went on Audi USA, and "built my Audi." On the A3, I went with 2.0T, DSG, a few options that led the MSRP to a bit over $32K. I then built an A4 Avant with the same engine, AT, Sport, S-Line, etc. to an MSRP of $42K. Guess what...for a 36 mo. lease, the A4 was LESS MONEY. For a car retailing at $10 more to purchase. I don't understand this. Does Audi believe that the A3 will depreciate that much more? If so, I gives me less incentive not only to lease it, but to buy it...b/c my resale after purchase will be lousy as well.
