MSRP $43800
36 month lease
15000mi/yr
$4100 Total Drive Off (bargained to this from $5000)
Residual - 50%
Money Factor - 0.00169
$540 including tax
 
Car is A4 with Prestige, Navigation, Quartz
 
Dealer is telling me this is a very aggressive deal, I'm thinking to go take it, because others were offering in the mid $600s.

That seems like a pretty decent deal on a 43k prestige A4.
 
Comparing close out deals on leftover 08 A6's is different than new body 09 A4's.

My calcs show he is making a $2300 cap reduction down payment at inception. As Car_Man and countless others have said, this is not a good idea, which is why I am saying this is not a good deal.
 
I offered the info about getting an A6 as an aside and a comparison of car deals to give a point of reference. That's why I wrote 'BTW' before it.

I'm looking to lease an '09 A4 Prestige Plus in Seattle, WA with these details and was wondering if its as financially sound as its gonna get:
 
Price: $36844.00
Down: $2000
Rate: .00169
Term: 36mo 15k m/y
Residual: 0.54
First month paid
 
$598.76/mo it just seems like the monthly is a little high
I think its $500 above invoice, he joked about making the deal at invoice price but it seems like people are getting it for under invoice? Thanks for any help!

Totally new at Leasing... by ChrisA4

So, I went to the SF car show and absolutely fell in love with the A4. I'm totally new at leasing but it seems like a really good option.
 
Questions...
 
1. MF: Is .00169 a good mf. It seems like around 4%. What would be considered to high?
2. Residual: is 50% or 54% better. I would think the higher the better. Not sure how to calculate this.
3. Purchace price: What should a person be aiming for? You need to negotiate the purhase price first correct? I hear under invoice is possible... anyone having that experience?
 
Any small print or "catches" I need to be aware of? Thanks. I'm trying not to get nailed.
 
The car I'd like to get is the A4 Premium Plus Quatro: MSRP is $37,175 according to the Audi website.
 
Thanks for any advice!

Here are the answers to a few of your questions:
 
1&2. Here is the info for the MF & Residual for a Premium Plus (according to CarMan): 2009 A4 Sedan Premium Plus with 10,000 miles per year are .00169 and 56%, respectively. If you want additional mileage per year (12k or 15k), the MF and residuals change. The higher the residual the better for your lease rate. You want to get the MF and residual the Audi Financing publishes. If they are giving you different numbers (worse numbers), they are trying to make money off of you.
3. You want to aim for as close to invoice as possible. You do need to negotiate the purchase price first.
 
I highly recommend Carlsen Audi in Palo Alto. I leased my current '07 A4 from them and had a great experience (paid $101 under invoice, proper MF and residuals; no haggling). Ask for the sales manager. He is great to deal with.
 
Good luck!

My dealer (only one in my state) is quoting a 52% residual and MF of .00327 on the '09 Avant Prestige (10m/yr). I'd like to confirm those numbers. They are much different from the sedan and Premium Plus. I need to confirm soon since my ordered Avant should arrive shortly. Thanks.

Hi ahdanna. Audi Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2009 A4 Avant Premium Plus with 12,000 miles per year are .00202 and 54%, respectively.

You're right, atsenb. While this is the absolute worst environment for the auto industry that I have seen in my decades in it, Audi's sales have held up relatively well. I believe that it was the only brand not to have its sales fall in October. Flat sales are like hitting the lottery when everyone else is down like 30%.
