Replying to: rjlaero (Jul 17, 2007 9:19 am) The $2K incentive on top of the 6% MSRP is known by the dealiers. As someone else noted, they may have something even better. However, I also found that the current terms aren't all that great. I was told: 3yr 15k/year A4 2.0T - 51% residual / 2.3% interest (converted money factor) A4 3.2 - 48% residual / 3.1% interest This results in a markedly higher payment than my current A4 3.0 lease despite a lower purchase price. Granted, my current one works out to about 0.9%, but the residual is also much better for same term/mileage. So I think much of this discount is offsetting crummy residuals, and thus I'm not sure I'm going with this. I will check w/the dealer tomorrow in person and go through in detail to decide. If you plan to pay cash, it still seems like a decent enough deal but I don't want to own an Audi out of warranty.

Hey, I was wondering if there are different residuals and money factors for the Audi A4 (2007 and 2008) with manual shifter vs. CVT (assuming the same capitalized cost for the sake of simplicity). The lease term would be 24 months, 15K miles/Yr and would be contracted with Audi Financial Services. Just FYI, I am asking this because I prefer to drive manual cars but I don’t want to pay more in financing because of this choice (through lower Residual or higher Money Factor) in comparison to the same car equipped with CVT. Thanks

However, it is now possible to buy for about $5K below invoice via the supplier program so I ended up buying instead. More details coming in the prices paid forum.

I am in Cleveland, Ohio, and took out a 24-mo lease on an A4 in Dec 05. Love the car, want to get another one and avoid the hassle of looking for something two weeks before my current lease expires. I had a hefty security deposit (five monthly payments or around $2,200) that I should get back too. I did not put a cent down on my current Audi and intend to do same again. It's all security deposits for me. How willing are Audi dealers to negotiate with current lessees? I am not necessarily interested in terminating my current lease but for the right deal and the right conditions I'd consider it. But will I be penalized in any way if I am going to take another Audi from the same dealer? Approx. how long before my lease ends should I start looking for a new deal then? I also heard that Audi offers incentives to "stay in the family". Does anyone know what form these take? Thx. |

The current lease program on a 2007 Audi A4 2.0T is $359/mo and $2308 due at inception. Details are here: http://www.pugetsoundaudidealers.com/audi/regional_aoa/pugetsound/Position_1.htm- l On a lease, does it make any sense to put more down to get a smaller monthly payment? I read on this forum that it doesn't, regards to your car being total or stolen. It also doesn't affect the purchase option price. Is this correct? If so, can I negotiate to not put down any payment? That better for me. I'd like 12k miles per year. Is there any flexibility in the lease for changing the miles? What are the stipulations? I won't be leasing before Sept 4th. When will my next opportunity be? When will the 2008 leases be available? Thanks, Brett
