#41 of 3146 Re: WHAT IS A GOOD DEAL ON A LEASE?! by Car_man HOST Sep 19, 2005 (2:55 am)
Welcome Steve. Since you are new to the world of leasing, you definitely should check out the following informative articles that are available here at Edmunds.com prior to visiting any dealers: 10 Steps to Leasing a New Car and Calculate Your Own Lease Payment.   Audi is currently providing $2,000 dealer cash on 2005 A4 2.0T models. Make sure to take this cash into account when negotiating your capitalized cost on this car. This dealer cash is not available on the '06 model. Any salesperson who claims not to know about the dealer cash on the '05 model is either really uninformed or is lying to try to get you to pay more than you should.   Let's calculate a sample lease payment on this car for you and see what we come up with. For now I will assume that you are paying $1,000 under invoice for the car that you want, if you are able to negotiate a better deal than this your lease payment would be a little lower. According to my calculations, if you were to lease a 2005 Audi A4 2.0T quattro sedan with an MSRP of $37,430 (including destination) and a selling price of ($34,005 invoice + $720 destination - $1,000), through Audi Financial Services right now for 24 months with 15,000 miles per year, your zero down, pre-tax monthly payment should be around $578. The payment for an otherwise identical 36 month lease should be $559. With these leases, at signing you would have to pay your vehicle's first month's payment, a security deposit of $600, AFS' acquisition fee of $575, and any required state taxes or fees.   Car_man Host Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums Replies to this message: rjlaero (Sep 19, 2005 5:17 am)

Replying to: Car_man (Sep 19, 2005 2:55 am) Just be aware that you CAN'T use dealer cash on a lease or purchase thru Audi Financial Services. This money is given in lieu of any finance or lease specials, and you'll have to finance with a different bank or lease company to get the dealer cash.   Also, dealer cash is something that is given to the dealer and used at their discretion. A dealer doesn't have to sell you anything 2000 below invoice. You''ll have more negoitating power depending on the inventory and the number of cars they have on the lot, and if you'll take something in stock vs locating a car somewhere else in the country they don't have.
#44 of 3146 I'm Confused?? by skenterprises Sep 19, 2005 (5:04 pm)
Thank-you for the feedbacks, I really appreciate it.   I'm confused, according to one of the replies above (Acura TL), my payment should be about $469 with a Selling Price of $36,000 and MF = 0.00139 for 36 months. A coople of replies after that (Car_Man) has it at around $559 a month with almost the same selling price for 36 months?   According to Audi's site, an A4 Quattro with a selling MSRP price of $34,000 leases for $369 a month for 24 months at 10k miles per year (in the fine print)   I am more inclined to beleive that the Audi that I want (2006, I have to have S-Line Pack!) with a selling price of around the same $34,000 for 36 months as opposed to 24 months AND 15K miles/yr opposed to 10k/yr should be closer to the $469 a month payment, right?   The car I want sells for around the same price as the one listed on the Audi website ($34,000) and the only difference being is the length of lease (36 months) and the miles//year (15K).   I don't know which one to go on, I an inclined to assume the $469 payment is more accurate. Can the change from 15k miles and 36 month lease bump the montlhy price $200 a month?   Please help! I am even more confused now! Replies to this message: mooselook (Sep 20, 2005 5:00 pm)
#45 of 3146 Negotiating A4 lease options by christin Sep 19, 2005 (7:22 pm)
I've been bouncing between the A4 and the BMW 3 series and I think I am going with the A4. I have 2 lease options.   Option 1 - 0 down 369/mth 10,000 miles for 24 mths. MSRP is 33060 and includes the sunroof package and 6 speed triptronic end of lease value of 25,125.60.   Option 2- Same thing but $439 down and the car includes a little more, almost exactly what I am looking for. Premium pkg, sunroof pkg, cold weather pkg, 6 speed triptronic. The only problem is that I want a manual transmission not an automatic.   I tried to negotiate a lower lease price due to the difference in the MSRP form one dealer with no luck, I was told that the manual transmission drops the residual value too much to make the difference. With lease option 2 do you think it is possible to have them waive the $439 down payment in lieu of a manual in place of the triptronic?   I was told that you can really negotiate leases but I don't understand why, the model I want costs less, I should pay less.   Christin

#47 of 3146 Any End of Lease hassels? by vinayg1 Sep 21, 2005 (7:43 am)
Hi everyone.   This is the first time I am considering leasing a car. Do the dealers give you hassels at the end of the lease and try to add on extra fees? e.g. what if there is a scratch or a small dent (like a shopping cart damage).   I would really appreciate some input from all you leasing pros out there.   Thanks in advance.

#48 of 3146 A4 3.2 Qauttro Lease by cluelessinla Sep 21, 2005 (9:31 am)
Thanks for all of the help. I'm not nearly as Clueless as I was when I began my foray into the forum.   $36,912 is the Cap Cost, I've been quoted by the dealer for an A4 3.2 quattro with automatic, plus the sunroof and premium packages, including pearl effect paint. The residual value(after 36 months andd 30,000 miles) is $24,450 and is based on a money factor of .00255. Is this a good deal? (It's more than $1800 less than CarDirect.) Oh, and includes a free loaner whenever the car needs to be serviced.   thanks.   PS Does the Cap Cost include tax, license and registration fees? PPS. Included in this price is the 1% advertising fee. The leasing manager refused to budge.

Replying to: vinayg1 (Sep 21, 2005 7:43 am) I returned a 1999 A4 at lease end and received no hassels at all, plus 100% of my security deposit back. I have since leased a 2003 Saab, which I will be returning in November. They sent me a brochure to prepare me for lease turn in. In it, they say that tire tread must be a minimum of 1/8th inch, Dings, dents and scratches on exterior panels must be less than 2", windshield cracks or stars must be less than 1/2" and interior burn holes must be less than 1/8" to be considered "normal" wear and tear. I am anticipating no problem with this turn in. I think that if you take reasonable care of your car, you probably will not get whacked with any fees. On the other hand, if your car has damage, you may as well get it fixed right when it occurs and enjoy it for the rest of your lease, rather than drive a dented car for 3 years and then pay at lease end.
#50 of 3146 A4 Lease offer by jblaze13 Sep 21, 2005 (8:58 pm)
Question for Car Man. In Chicago, Audi is offering a lease for 24 months, 10k miles/yr, $575 acquisition fee with $0 down. They are advertising a payment of $389/mo. The price of the car they are using is $35,310 (2006 A4 Quattro w/automatic, premium pkg, sunroof pkg, and cold weather pkg. Can you provide the money factor & residual they are using in a deal like this. I want to make sure they aren't changing terms when I see the actual numbers.   I'd like to up the mileage to 12k/year. Any idea what that would change things?   I wonder if price is still negotiable on a deal like this? Replies to this message: vinayg1 (Sep 22, 2005 6:27 am)
