Hi wchance. Here's the information that you're looking for.
 
Audi Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2012 A4 Sedan Premium quattro with 10,000 miles per year are .00080 and 56%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
 
The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of a 2012 A3 TDI Premium are .00141 and 57%.

Thanks for the reply.
 
Oops i thought I was getting a bad deal but now I see that Money Factor is higher on a TDI model.
 
They also informed me that 10k is the minimum miles even though I only need 7.5k is that true?
 
I hate to abuse of your confidence but I am now thinking of a Audi A6 Premium Plus 2.0T, can you help me with numbers for 36month/10k and 36month/7500?
 
Thanks Again,
William

CARMAN - are there any major drawbacks to doing a 42 month lease instead of 36. the payments are cheaper but not sure if its worse in the long run?

You're welcome William. I know that AFS offers leases with 15,000 12,000 and 10,000 miles per year, but I haven't seen anything on a 7,500 mile per year lease with them. I don't see why the dealer would try to mislead you about 7,500 not being an option...they sell the car either way and don't profit from your driving additional miles.
 
Audi Financial Services' March buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2012 A6 Premium Plus 2.0T with 10,000 miles per year are .00056 and 51%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.

Hi jg22. Other than the fact that you're committed to your vehicle for a longer period of time, which could lead you to get sick of it or to seriously exceed your mileage allowance if your commute changes, no there isn't any major drawback to leasing an Audi for 42 months. Audi's bumper-to-bumper warranty coverage lasts 4 years or 50,000 miles, so you don't have to worry about being out of warranty during your lease like you would if it had a 3 / 36 warranty.

Thanks Carman for all the great info you put out here. This is the third car we leased in the last 4 years and your help has been invaluable.

#4027 of 4312 a4 premium lease deal by gohatters

Mar 07, 2012 (9:16 am)

Here in Naples, FL Audi is offering a 36 mo lease on the A4 premium for:
 
$1,995 down
$349/mo
based on $33,375 MSRP
10k miles/yr
 
If I use the money factor and residual provided by Car_Man above (thanks!), that means they reduced Cap Cost to approx $31,900. Which is $500 over invoice.
 
What are your thoughts?
 
It looks like a decent deal, but I haven't been tracking A4 leases for long. Will this deal stay? Or is it temporary? My current lease isn't up until Aug so I have a few months to lock something else down.
 
It looks like Audi and Infinity are dealing on the leases, they're several thousand cheaper than Merc or BMW counterparts.
 
thanks for your help

#4028 of 4312 Lease to Purchase: Is Dealer Certified Warranty Worth It? by bocmcm

Mar 10, 2012 (3:01 pm)

My 2009 A4 Sedan lease is up this month. In expressing an interest to purchase, dealer had a 1.9% interest rate available but to qualify I'd have to purchase a $3,000 Certified Extended Warranty. And that does not include any repair costs (like new brakes) to meet Audi Certified standards.
I would finance balance for 2 years and drive for at least another 3 years.
 
Questions:
1. Is this a good investment or simply the dealer trying to make $3K++ off me?
(Just had a friend hit year 4 (post warranty) with a BMW and got hit with $3K in engine / computer repairs so this investment might be worth considering)
 
2. Are there better deals through Warranty Brokers that will provide comparable extended warranty coverage? If so, any recommendations?

Hi
I am in the same boat as you are... my 2009 A4 lease is up and I am planning to purchase at the end (in a week) - it is interesting coz I was quoted 2.99% and the warranty is optional - it is up to us - I highly doubt they can tie up the rate to warranty. the rate should be tied to your credit score.
 
also - is buying at the end of the lease a better option than to lease a new one?
if I buy it is coming out to approx 434 per month - and if lease a new one - I was able to get it down to approx 510 (exact same car) - i wonder if those $75 more is worth not dealing with a car that has 50K miles on it.
