HI souwester. The money factor that you were quoted is much higher than Audi Financial Services' best money factor for this car, but if you are new to the United States perhaps you do not have enough of an established credit history to qualify for AFS' best rates.
As far as what fees to expect to pay at lease signing on an AFS lease goes, typically you would have to pay your vehicle's first month's payment, a security deposit that's equivalent to the monthly payment rounded up to the nearest $25 increment, a $575 acquisition fee, and any required state taxes or fees.

Hi thrilldhill. I don't personally keep tabs on the lease programs for used vehicles, mainly because they are not nearly as popular as new vehicle leases. If you decide to lease the 2006 A4 that you are interested in, make sure to compare the payment that you are quoted for it to the payment for a similar equivalent brand new model. The lack of lease support that usually accompanies used vehicle leases often causes there to be less of a difference than one would think between the payment or one and for a new vehicle.

Hi chchoi. The money factor that you mentioned is right on line with Audi Financial Services' current buy rate for a lease of this car with a waived security deposit. That is a good thing because it means that the dealer that you got your car from did not mark your car's factor up to add additional, hidden profit to your deal. Something is not right about the prices that you mentioned though. In your post you stated that this car's MSRP is $26,775 and its selling price is $34,254. Did you mean that the MSRP is $6,775? If so, you are getting a very good deal on this car.

Hi slickslacks. You never mentioned what the MSRP and selling price are for the vehicle that you are interested in leasing. These are very important numbers. Without them, it is difficult to tell how much of a discount the dealer is giving you on the A4 that you want. The selling prices of leased vehicles are negotiable, just as if you were paying cash for or financing them. The A4 Avant that you described probably has a spread of just under $3,000 between its full MSRP and its dealer invoice price. If I was in the market for one in an area that has a decent level of competition, I personally would shoot for a $2,000 to $2,500 discount and then have the dealer use Audi Financial Services' buy rate lease money factor to calculate my monthly payment. AFS' current buy rate for an '08 A4 3.2 Avant is .00048.

Welcome faschulz. I;m glad that you have found the information here useful. In order to determine whether you should purchase your vehicle at the end of your lease, you need to compare its purchase price to its value on the open market at this time. Even though it states your car's purchase option price on your lease contract, you should place a call to the bank that you are leasing it through just to make sure that you have the correct figure. When you do so, it never hurts to try to haggle with them. Some banks will negotiate the lease-end purchase prices of vehicles. If your initial contact at your bank is not willing to lower your vehicle's purchase price, you may have better luck if you work your way up the ladder to a manager. There is a good chance that they will not lower your vehicle's price, more often than not they will not, but you don't have anything to lose by asking.
As I said earlier, once you know exactly how much money it is going to cost you to buy your leased vehicle you need to compare it to its current value on the open market. You can find out approximately what your vehicle is worth by looking up its Edmunds.com True Market Value in the Used Vehicle Pricing section of this site. You also may want to stop by the following discussion: "Real-World Trade-In Values".
If the difference between your car's real world value and its purchase price is less than the excess mileage penalty that you would have to pay if you were to return it, and your car has not been in any accidents or given you any mechanical problems then you may want to consider buying it at lease-end.

Today, my wife and I paid a visit to a nearby Audi dealership. We test drove a 2008 A4 2.0T S-Line. The sticker on the vehicle was 37800. What should I expect to pay in a lease for this vehicle? The lady quoted me $875/month, and I have excellent credit! I thought this lady was out of her mind! I can lease a BMW for that much! Can someone help me??!!

That lady is out of her mind - to put this in perspective, I am shopping for a 2008 S4 which has an MSRP of c. $55,000 and it is only $840/mo, with taxes, for a 3 year 12,000 mile/year allowance. You should be able to get a 2.0T s-line for c. $500-550/mo. Kindly suggest you work with another sales person or different dealer...

All 2008 A4 comes with S line as a standard.
Please see my 1682 post. I just lease A4 2.0T for less than 400 before tax.
