#2899 of 4312 Re: Need Help with A4 Lease End Strategy [jps31]

The lease on my 2006 A4 ends July 5, 2009. If it helps, Audi began contacting me around mid-May to schedule an inspection. A few weeks later, a dealer from the local shop where I leased the car emailed me to offer his services.
Also, I inquired online back in January about the best time to start negotiating and had an Audi dealer respond and say it's best to wait to within 90 days of lease end, so you could get started anytime, given your Aug 21 lease end.
Finally, I've been told AFS won't negotiate. If you deal directly with AFS you pay the price stated on your contract. However, if you go through your dealer he may be able to negotiate a lower price for you (he can buy wholesale from AFS). Many others have had success going this route.

Hi caren1. A $6,000 dealer discount off of MSRP is an excellent selling price on a 2009 A4 Cabriolet. If you like the car, go for it.

Hi roadking98. Audi Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2009 A4 Cabriolet 2.0T without quattro with 12,000 miles per year are 00008 and 51%, respectively. The residual value for a lease with only 10,000 miles per year would be 1% higher.
During Audi's current promotion, "The Summer of Audi Event," it is waiving the first two lease payments on all A4 Cabriolet models except for on the high performance "S" variants.

Hey jayrider. Audi's current money factors and residual values on the A4 aren't bad. Plus Audi is waiving the first monthly payment on A4 2.0T Sedans (first two on Convertibles & 3.2s) and providing loyalty / conquest cash on them.
I am not intimately familiar with what the prices are like at dealers right now. There may be an ample supply out there, but according to the dealers who I have spoken with lately demand, at least in the luxury end of the market, has picked up dramatically lately. This make make dealers more hesitant to have fire sale prices than they were a couple of months ago.

Hi ptalosig. The selling price that you were quoted for this car looks great to me. Just make sure that the dealer that you are working with uses Audi Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor of .00085 to calculate your payment and you're in business.

Greetings bashin. Audi Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2009 A4 2.0T Premium Plus FWD with 12,000 miles per year are .00085 and 49%, respectively. The money factor for an otherwise identical lease with only 10,000 miles per year would be the same, but the residual value would be 1% higher.

Hello francie. According to the latest information that I have seen, Audi Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor is .00085 for A4 2.0 Sedan FWD and .00071 for At 2.0 Sedan quattro models. As you can see, yes the money factor that you were quoted does appear to be slightly on the high side.

Hi arctic45. It would be easier for us to evaluate this deal if you provided us with this car's MSRP and selling price. The selling prices of leased vehicles are negotiable, just as if you were paying cash for or financing them. Without the selling price, it is difficult to tell how large a dealer discount you are being given. Let us know what these numbers are and I'm sure that either myself or another knowledgeable community member will gladly tell you what they think.
