Hi a4fan. The problem with leasing pre-owned vehicles is that manufacturers usually do not provide as much support on them as they do on new vehicle leases. There is a good chance that you will find that it is actually less expensive to lease s similar brand new 2007 Audi A4 than it is to lease a certified pre-owned one. If you are set on leasing, make sure to compare the cost of leasing the CPO A4 that you are considering to the cost of leasing a new one. If you really want to go used, then you may be better off financing or leasing your A4.

Hello jasonscott. Audi is currently running a special lease program on 2007 A4 Convertibles, but its special program on convertible models is not as attractive as the one it is currently running on A4 Sedans.
 
You can use the following lease calculator to work up lease payments: Edmunds.com Lease Calculator. You also can calculate them on your own by using the formula that is outlined in the following article: Calculate Your Own Lease Payment.
 
You would be better off trying the following discussion for feedback on what color seats to get: "Audi A4 2005+".

Hi alcarmedia. $250 over dealer invoice is a very good price for an Audi A4. Furthermore, the money factor that you were quoted for this car is right in line with Audi Financial Services' buy rate for it. The two main profit centers on your lease for this dealer look good to me. If you like the car, I personally don't see any reason not to pull the trigger on this deal.

Hey hydesmile. You can get a good idea about how much maintenance will cost on this car by playing with the Edmunds.com True Cost to Own Calculator. Here is a link to it for your convenience: Edmunds.com - True Cost to Own Calculator.

Hi jasonscott. The A4 Convertible's lease program varies by trim level, term, and mileage allowance. For now I will assume that you are interested in a 36 month lease of a 2007 Audi A4 2.0T Convertible without quattro with 15,000 miles per year. Let me know if you want something different. Audi Financial Services' buy rate lease money factor and residual value for the aforementioned lease are .00250 and 61%, respectively.

Hi valuecarforme. The lease payment that you mentioned in your post looks pretty good to me, but in order for me to give you a detailed analysis of this deal I really need you to provide me with this car's full MSRP and selling price. These numbers will show me how much of a discount you were given on it and will enable me to use Audi's actual lease program to estimate what your payment should be. Let me know and I'll tell you what I think.

Hi pootie562. Dealer invoice is a very good selling price for an Audi A4. Using the prices that you mentioned in your post, an MSRP of $33,000 and a selling price of $31,000, and Audi's current lease program I estimate that this car's 36 month, 12,000 mile per year, zero down, pre-tax monthly payment should be around $370. I used Audi Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor of .00080 to calculate this lease payment.

Thanks. Now I have it figured out. Looks like the ad uses a Capitalization Cost of about $1200 over invoice.

Car_man,
 
I placed a deposit on the following deal:
 
2007 Audi A4 Quattro Tiptronic Automatic Trans (MRSP $31,540)
Metallic Color ($750)
Premium Package ($800)
Heated Seats ($450)
 
Total MSRP of $33,540
 
I am not sure what the selling price was, since we were negotiating on the final lease payment per month, and the dealer was playing with that number. I would really apreciate if you can estimate that number for me, looking at other figures that I provide.
 
So here is what I got:
 
36 months 15,000 miles per year
 
$450 per month INCLUDING tax (8,375% in NY)
Acq Fee + First Month Payment + Registration + DMV
 
Let me know if that deals sounds good to you?
 
Also do you know approx. how much will be registration and DMV fees?
 
Thanks a lot.
