Hi keyyoh. The best way to evaluate whether a lease is a good deal is to look at the selling price that it is based upon. The selling prices of leased vehicles are negotiable, just as if you were paying cash for or financing them. Let us know what this car's selling price is in relation to its MSRP or its dealer invoice price and I am sure that either myself or another helpful community member will be happy to give you their opinion on this deal.
 
For now I can tell you that the money factor that you were quoted appears to be a little high. Audi Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor for a 36 month lease of an '09 A4 Sedan with quattro and Premium Plus is .00071. Make sure that the dealer uses that buy rate to calculate your car's payment.

Hello newtoaudi4. Let's take a look at the deal that you were offered. The car that you are interested in probably has a spread of around $2,400 between its full MSRP and its dealer invoice price. Add to that the $750 dealer cash that is available on this model to dealers who qualify and we're talking about a total of around $3,150 to play with.
 
You were quoted a discount of $5,500 on the demo that you are interested in. Normally I am not that interested in demos because dealers never seem willing to discount them enough, but this looks like an excellent deal. Even I, as someone who normally wouldn't go with a demo, would have to give this deal serious consideration.
 
Just make sure that the dealer uses Audi Financial Services' buy rate lease money factor to calculate your car's monthly payment. The money factor that you were quoted appears to be a little high. AFS' current buy rate for this model is only .00071.
 
Normally I would never purchase a pre-paid maintenance package on a leased vehicle, however Audi provides a 1% boost on the residual values of vehicles that have Audi Care (at least it used to). This enhanced residual value almost makes the package pay for itself. See what the difference between your car's payment is with and without Audi Care. If it isn't much go for it.

Hi Sam. Here's the info that you're looking for. Audi Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2009 A4 2.0 Avant Prestige with 12,000 miles per year are .00143 and 47%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical 39 month lease are .00163 and 45%.
 
I believe that the +1% for Audi Care is still available, but I haven't checked in a while so you should ask a dealer to make sure.

Hi Ken. The money factor that you were quoted is right in line with Audi Financial Services' buy rate for this model. That clearly is a good thing.
 
Now let's take a look at this car's selling price. The model that you are interested in probably has a spread of around $2,600 between its full MSRP and its dealer invoice price, plus there's some dealer cash out there. The $3,500 discount that you are being given on this car looks very attractive to me.
 
The two most important numbers to focus on when leasing, the money factor and selling price look great. If you like the car, I personally don't see any reason not to go for it.

Thanks for the info, Car man. You are doing a great service for people.
 
Is there an acquisition fee for every Audi A4 lease, and what is the amount?

You're very welcome, rclack. Yes Audi Financial Services charges an acquisition fee of $625 on every vehicle that it leases.

Hi Carman,

$2,475 at signing
$450/mo including taxes (35 months)
MSRP: $35,500

Also, would you recommend getting any of the maintenance/audi care packages or is it not necessary?

I think I am going to pull the trigger on an A4 Quattro Lease this weekend. Seems to be the best all around value. This is what I have been quoted in So Cal. Is this a good deal? I have seen the other posts and appears to be beating most handily.
 
2009 A4 Premium Automatic 6 speed tiptronic transmission, Quattro All Wheel Drive plus....
• 17" alloy wheels
• Audi Symphony with In Dash CD Changer
• Leather interior
• Power Sunroof with tilt/slide & pinch protection
• BlueTooth Hands Free Phone Interface
 
MSRP $ 34,695
Total cash due at signing $ 778.20
Payment before tax $ 437.54 us
10K/year miles
 
Probably can shave a few more bucks off while sitting in the chair.
