Replying to: mcwenzel (Jun 08, 2007 2:51 pm) This site is very confusing especially with some other irresponsible posters to confuse most other people (like me). I just wanted to know if this is a good deal from my local dealer Ads (St.Petersburg, FL). For A4 with MSRP $31,015, the downpayment is $1,999 and the monthly payment is $299 plus tax. Term: 36 months (30,000 miles total) What should I watch out with this Ads? This is not clear to me if the downpayment includes all the prep fees, acquisition fee, etc. We went to the dealer on Sunday (they closed) and saw one exactly A4 we both wanted with the MSRP $31,015 exact amount from the classified Ad. The residual amount is $17,058.25. It just didn't make sense (with negative MF?), too good to be true? Thanks for all your helps! |

Either you or the dealer can buy the car from Audi for the residual on the contract period. If the dealer is saying you have to go through them then they are lying to you. Go right to Audi If you are intending to sell the car you do have to register the car first, pay the tax and then sell it. You presently don't own the car and the tax must be paid |

Replying to: mcwenzel (Jun 10, 2007 6:01 pm) BTW, as we are crowing, I did work in the Bankruptcy law division at Bank of America many years ago. My job (and that of many others) was to defend the Bank against deadbeats who obtained loans and not only could not pay them but then sued the bank for lending them too much money. Right up your alley. |

Replying to: jagx (Jun 11, 2007 6:17 pm) Perhaps you can explain in laymen's terms why: 1) If AFS unilaterally replaced the lease residual #s with FMV #s, why McWenzel does not have a cause of action against them for breach of contract and violation of Fair lending laws. 2) If he has no recourse, why is this the only area of contract law, where one party can provide a specific # when writing the contract (e.g. residual), yet use another one (e.g. FMV) to later interpret it. This simply makes no sense. Also, McWenzel claims NO OTHER finance dealers do this but cannot provide ONE link to another leasing company that does not penalize lessees for getting out of the lease. What am I missing there? Now for my credentials: I just leased an A4 Avant for 36 months and have the MF, Residual and a price lower than any seen on this forum - all are available if you can explain why McWenzel does not have a claim against AFS or alternatively why he simply is trying to get out of a contract that he doesn't like.

Replying to: edwardsf (Jun 12, 2007 5:29 pm) Contract with AFS and agreed terms is between you and them only - they only change the residual price if 3rd party attempts to buy car. No recourse as the contract is between you and them. He gets that. Not sure why you don't. He thinks it is a rather onerous position and less than customer friendly on AFS part to change the price if a 3rd party wants to buy and that would be convenient to you. Forces you to buy the car and pay tax before you re-sell. Which can be worked around in some states - just a hassle. So no penalty as you are entitled to buy the car at any time within the lease or at lease end - but ONLY you can buy it for the price agreed. BTW, before you brag too much on your deal - remember the MF and price should be low, but the higher the residual the better for the deal - means you are paying less for use of car for term of lease.

Replying to: alex320 (Jun 13, 2007 6:31 am) It looks like the special leasing program is the bottom price and I am sure they will try to add on some other fees as you are dealing with them in person. I will try to minimize my downpayment and monthly payments  Thanks! PS: My dealership is Crown Audi - clearwater, FL.
