The new 09's won't be out until the fall and I can imagine a lot of dealers will run out of these lease ad cars. If you're trying to get greedy and worry about free stuff and haggle over 10/15 bucks a month, then to each their own. I can see how your dealer will let you walk. VW was advertising a -0- down 359/mo lease special on a 27/28k Passat a while back. The A4 is 34k Quattro, so it's hard to complain about the deal Audi is offering. No matter how good a deal is, people are never happy and always want something more. There's a big difference in haggling with a Hummer dealer for a gas guzzling SUV that people aren't buying and fuel efficent cars that are already good deals.

Hi guys! I'm new to leasing and am trying to lease either a 2008 Acura TL or a 2008 Audi A4. I called the local Audi here in Fresno (CA) and they gave me the following monthly payments. 405 + tax with 2000 down. (15000 miles 36 months) 444 + tax with 0 down. (15000 Miles 36 months) I asked them for the residual value, MF etc.. but they weren't willing to tell me for some reason. All they said was that those things are the same as the ones for the Lease Special offer for the Audi A4 2.0 T ( the 399$ offer on audis website). i did however get the MSRP. 32385. what do you guys think ? is this a good deal or can it be better. Thanks in advance. |

rjlaero, Really I wasn't trying to compare manufacturer or models as Audi builds a whole different class of car than Hummer's SUV's (only similarity is gas mileage- H3 gets 16mpg in city, my Quattro gets 18). This is a really good lease program however I'm curious as to how these factory backed deals affect the spread between invoice and msrp. I'm not worried about saving every last penny but if there is$500 or $1,000 savings possible I'll take it. theRoOkie, The factory backed program for an A4 SE with msrp of $31825 is a true zero down and $399 month plus tax but only includes 10k miles a year. I think you'll need the residuals and money factors to calculate the rate for 15k miles a year- yep those numbers they don't want to share. A lot of people on here advise against dealing with someone who won't share the residuals and mf's. We had a TL before leasing the A4 Quattro and your comparing apples and oranges. The TL has a lot of power, drives nice, and is comfortable, while the Audi is sportier, Audi interior finishing is tops, and it has that awesome Audi handling/feel to it. This is not meant as a knock to the TL in any way we really liked ours, I'm just pointing out they are very different cars. Rich |

Replying to: gwarrenfl (May 08, 2008 6:38 am) You're right, Audi introduced a new $2,000 owner loyalty / conquest cash incentive on Audi Financial Services leases of the A4 Cabriolet in May. This two grand will help you to negotiate an attractive capitalized cost for your car. In addition to this, Audi is waiving the first month's payment for free on all Cabriolet leases.

Replying to: harrier1 (May 15, 2008 9:55 pm) You're sadly mistaken if you think Audi dealers are getting rich selling 34k lease special A4's. With the weak dollar vs the Euro, the manufacturer keeps cutting profit margins and there's not much to work with. The dealer already has to contribute from a discounted MSRP just to meet that Ad price of Audi. Most audi dealers are probably making $700-800 front end profit on a lease special car. That's not a whole lot of coin. You folks thinking Audi dealers are licking their chops in profit with cheap A4's are living in a fantasy world. All it is is a number towards their monthly and quarterly goals with selling new cars and a modest profit Used cars is where the lionshare of profits are are made for car dealers. Always has and will always be that way.
