I'm looking at leasing a 2009 Audi A4 because of the lower sale price. The dealer I'm working with is offering a money factor of .00192, but on various sites I've seen .00106 as the money factor. However, the .00106 number comes from August, and I'm wondering if there's any chance this number has expired somehow. Looking at - http://www.ridewithg.com/index.php/2009/08/09-audi-a3-a4-a6-a8-s4-s5-s6-s8-lease-rates-august-2009/ This is a solid $40 per monthly payment... Rest of deal: 36mo/15k 29k sale price 51% residual |

Add up all the payments, any money you do put down, any termination fees and then divide by the number of months. That's the real cost of the lease per month." Correct, so why does everyone obsess over residual and money factor, which personally, I find changes constantly and is very confusing, thus helping the dealer, not you. What matters is what you pay over the course of a lease and it seems to be the one thing no one understands clearly and the one thing the dealer does not want you to think about. It should be a law that the total lease price for all new cars should be on the window sticker, full disclosure, up front, and if it changes, then retype the paper. Sorry for being so militant, but hey, when you're right, you're right. |

Two questions for you all: 1) Are the October leasing numbers out yet for a 2010 A4 Quattro Premium and Premium Plus? 2) My current car is leased through the end of the year (Jan 2, 2010). Is it best to work out a deal sooner for a factory-build and have it delivered in time for my need (late Dec) or wait until later and work out a deal for an in-inventory or dealer trade (i.e., already build and in the States)? If the former, then about when should I begin negotiating terms for an order (how soon ahead of my current lease end)? How would that work then... will lease be locked in at current numbers or the numbers that are current when the car is actually built and delivered? Thanks!

Replying to: lefty4 (Sep 12, 2009 4:49 am) 15,000 miles per year is the highest mileage allowance that AFS publishes residual values for. If you need to drive more than that, you will have to purchase additional miles on a per-mile basis. It is less expensive to do so at lease signing than it is to wait until lease-end and have to pay an excess mileage penalty. Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum |

Replying to: boas13 (Sep 18, 2009 4:29 am) Let's take a look at this car's selling price. The 2010 Audi A4 that you described probably has a spread of around $2,700 between its full MSRP and its dealer invoice price. You were quoted a dealer discount of $2,250 on this car. That is an excellent deal. Just make sure that the dealer calculates your monthly payment using its buy rate lease money factor of .00142 and you're in business.

Replying to: jobualli (Sep 23, 2009 7:43 pm) Unless you are very particular about your cars, generally speaking it is better to purchase something that is in dealer inventory than to order. I say this because dealers are usually more interested in moving something that they physically have in stock that they are already paying floorplan interest on and that they can finalize a deal on immediately than order a vehicle and have the deal potentially fall apart.
