Money Factor Question by socal79
May 11, 2006 (11:08 pm)

I was told by a dealer in So Cal that the money factor you are given is dependent on your credit rating, is this true? I was steadfast in wanting the buy rate but they were unwilling to bargain with me. My fico score is 730 and my beacon score is 685. I was also told I will need a co-signer since I have never purchased a vehicle before, my present car was bought by my parents. If this is true is there any way to get around having a co-signer?

Switching from a 330i to an A4 by evoic
May 12, 2006 (11:57 pm)

I am coming to the end of a 3yr lease on an 03' 330i in 2 months. I need to take a little off of my monthly payment ($470) because my wife upgraded from a car with a $265 mthly to a car with a $345 mthly. Our goal is to try to keep both payments in the same range as they were previously, which means I need to knock at least $50-$70 off of my current $470 payment when I go to get a new car. In this range, a new BMW is out of the question for me, and I've always liked what Audi has to offer.
 
Here's my question.
 
I'm interested in the A4 Quattro 2.0 with tiptronic.
If my credit is approx 700-710 on the FICO and I'm only looking to put $1k out of pocket, what kind of wiggle room do I have to add options from a base model for the current A4 lease program?? I'm most interested in a sport package that offers better handling (to take the sting out of losing what I'm used to with my BMW) but I believe you have to also have the premium package on the car which may push it out of my budget.
I live in CA with tax at 7.75% and I would like a 36 or 39 month lease with at least 12k miles.
I'm not sure if Audi is still waiving the security deposits on their new leases, but every penny is going to count to try to hit my number. Can any one offer some info to help me get started with understanding what my options are? I'll do my best to reply quickly if you need additional information.

Good Lease Offer??? by danielle22279

Hello - I am new to this site, but am looking to lease a new Audi in NJ. I was quoted on a 2006 Audi A4 Quattro with tiptronics, premium package, and sunroof package, brilliant black with ebony leather. I currently have a Honda Accord Ex that I am turning in shortly. Audi will work in my payments left of 289, to be $24 additional a month for 36 months(the length of the lease) They quoted me with that inmind and tax a cost of $430 for 12k with 2000 down, or $455 for 15k with 2000 down. The 2000 is all my fees and then a little extra. Is this a good deal? The MSRP is $35510, and the residual rate is 54%. I am debating on waiting another month or two as then I can eliminate the current car payment in the lease amount bringing it to $405 or $430 depending on 12k/15k respectively. Another Audi dealership that I called to see if they could beat that price told me to go with the dealer I was working with as they couldn;t beat the price. Could they just be working together to get me to buy? May seem silly but figured I would ask. Another concern rises that will I still be able to get the same offer then? Will I be in a better position to possibly get a better deal due to being another month closer to the 07's coming out?? Any and all help appreciated!!!

Good Lease Offer? by hmwalpole

Hello,
 
I am hoping you'll be able to tell me if this is a good deal or not.
 
2006 A4 2.0 T CVT Sedan
Quartz Gray
Audio Package
Sunroof Package
Premium Package
 
When I first went ot to the dealership, I aksed them (and they wrote it down - I have it here w/me) that I wanted a 36 month lease w/15,000 miles and wondered what the moeny factor and RES would be. The finance manager came back w/.00138 and 53% RES.
 
The MSRP $34,885 (+ $1127 for a wax job compliments of the dealer - I told them I'd pass on that). The invoice on the car is $27,215 and invoice for the audio is $910, sunroof is $1274, and premium is $1684. We started out at $34,000, wnet to 33810 but I was able to neg. the selling price of the car to $31836.
 
Here's my problem...what I thought was going to be a lease for 36 months on a 2.0 for $31836 for 15K was (oops!) not really for 15K miles but for 10K miles. The finance maanger cambe back to me and said that. My payments would now be $497.41 w/no money down and no security deposit.
 
Is this a good deal? ANd is it normal to have them drop the mileage like that?
 
THank you!!

Hello 5510xi. I believe that the car that you described has a spread of around $2,300 between its full MSRP and dealer invoice prices. You are being given a discount of $935 on it, which isn't great. If you are in an area where there is a decent level of competition, I would not be surprised if you were able to beat this deal by shopping around. For additional feedback on A4 pricing, make sure to stop by the following discussion: "Audi A4: Prices Paid & Buying Experience".
 
The money factor that you were quoted for this car is right on the money though. This is always a good thing because it means that the dealer you are working with is not trying to mark your car's money factor up to add additional back-end profit to your deal.
 
Using the numbers that you provided in your post, an MSRP of $32,435 and a selling price of $31,500, I estimate that this car's 36 month, 10,000 mile per year, zero down, pre-tax monthly payment should be exactly the $389.33 that you were quoted. This also is a good sign.
 
The bottom line is that it looks like this dealer is being very straightforward with you, just try to get them to lower the selling price a little bit.

Hi fourizonly007. The selling prices of leased vehicles are always negotiable. While most manufacturers' advertised lease payments usually include some sort of discount, they also usually leave a little meat on the bone so to speak. This makes sense because if an automaker advertised the skinniest possible deal on a vehicle, its dealers would not be very pleased. If you are in an area where there is a decent level of competition, I doubt that you will have much trouble negotiating a selling price that is lower than the one this lease is based upon.

Hi socal79. While many banks' lease money factors do vary by credit tier, I believe that Audi Financial Services uses more of a pass / fail system with leases. Either you qualify for its special lease money factors for a vehicle or you don't. Your lack of credit history might hurt your chances of getting approved to lease an Audi, but if your income is good enough and your credit scores are high enough I suspect that you would be approved to lease through Audi Financial Services at its best rates. Of course, it is difficult for me to say for certain whether AFS will approve you or not. Did you actually submit a credit application, or is this just what a dealer told you? They may be trying to weed out someone who they do not believe is a serious buyer or trying to set you up for a big markup on your interest rate.
