Welcome csimmssu. The easiest way for me to evaluate this deal is to take a look at this car's selling price relative to its full MSRP. The selling prices of leased vehicles are negotiable, just as if you were paying cash for or financing them. Knowing the selling price makes it easier to tell how large a dealer discount you are being given an in turn if there is any room left to negotiate.
 
Let us know and I'm sure that myself or another knowledgeable community member will tell you what they think.

Hi Car Man,
 
I am a recent graduate so this is my first time getting a car on my own and I don't have a lot of significant credit history. I went to an Audi dealership in Houston and this is the deal they offered me for an A4 Sedan Premium FWD 2.0T CVT.
 
Lighting Package
Convenience Package
Audi Care
 
Lease for 42 months w/ 12,000 miles
Adj Cap Cost - $32,126.40
$6000 down
Money Factor - .00120
Monthly Payments - $398.92
 
Would you consider this a good deal?
 
Thanks for your help!

I forgot to add that it was a 50% residual.

It makes sense if you put down $1000 not $6000. You better stay away from them. How is your credit history? Maybe you don't have stellar credit history yet?

That's including taxes, title, license, and fees. My credit is ok. I just don't have very much.

Residual = 55%, $24,948

What is the negotiated sales price? You should be aiming for only a few hundred over invoice, which is $41,830; even less if the car is on the lot.
 
What other fees are beng charged and rolled into the lease? Payments seem very high to me based on that MF and residual. Using invoice as a sale price, a down payment/deposit of $675, and standard lease acquistion fee of $695 and your posted MF and residual, I get payments of $519 BEFORE sales tax.
 
If I run the same numbers using MSRP as the sales price, I get $603 per month BEFORE sales tax. DO NOT pay MSRP for this car!

I haven't done any other negotiating other than standard emails with the sales person (I'm away from home on a work trip), I figure I'll go into the dealership to start talking about a better deal.
 
Here's the exact car that the sales person was basing the numbers off of:

Considering the fact that I have lease numbers for a $63K Mercedes E350 that are $600/month with 15K/year and $1095 drive off...I'd say those numbers you got for a car that is almost $20K less are pretty poor.
