Hi smittyj. If you were to lease a 2006 Audi A8L through Audi Financial Services in December for 36 months with 12,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00205 and 59%, respectively. This car's 10,000 miles per year residual value would be 1% higher. I'm really not sure what the market is like for the A8 is like right now, so I can't give you an idea of how much you should pay for this car in terms of its capitalized cost. I can tell you that a base 2006 A8L has a spread of $4,700 between its full MSRP and dealer invoice prices, so there is a lot of room to play with there.

Thanks jmd23. I'm glad that you've found my posts so helpful. You're being smart by treading your new A8 lease and getting out of your current VW lease as separate transactions. Having the dealer work with you to pay off part of your current lease is going to hamper your ability to get the best possible deal on your new car. They probably have a figure in mind as to mow much a profit they are willing to take on the A8, it doesn't really matter to them whether you use all of the discount that they will be willing to give to reduce your A8's capitalized cost or use some of it to payoff your VW lease. A base '06 A8L has a spread of around $4,700 between its full MSRP and dealer invoice price to work with. Negotiate the best possible deal that you can on this car and then introduce your VW lease into the equation. If you want to roll some of your negative equity into your new vehicle's capitalized cost it will absorb some of the discount that you are being given.

Thanks for your reply, Car Man! I just may have some leverage, as of this weekend...
 
A competing dealer has the same A8 like the one I ordered but with 2 less options (adaptive cruise and rear electric lumbar). I'll live. They are offering it for $1,750 above invoice. If the money factor and residual are the same based on 36/15 than this is a pretty sweet deal, yes?
 
They don't know about my VW lease payoff, though. And I just may have some it rolled into the new lease.
 
Sincerely,
jmd23

Car Man, couple more items to note:
 
Livermore Audi
- A8 SWB, black/amaretto
- The dealer has $1k in deposit from me
- MSRP 80,150 | Invoice 74,484 | TMV 79,654
 
Carlsen Audi
- Competing dealer A8 SWB, black/amaretto
- MSRP 78,350 | Invoice 72,882 | TMV 77,871
- Dealer quoted selling price at 1,750 above invoice = 74,632

Car Man,
 
Carlsen Audi is now saying the money factor for the A8 in December (36m/15k) is 0.0018.True?
 
Thanks in advance,

Ahhh, apparently you do. I should have scrolled down before posting . Sorry for the delay in my response, I have been away on vacation. Yes, the money factor that you were quoted is correct. Audi Financial Services' December buy rate lease money factor for a 36 month lease of an '06 A8 4.2 is .00180.

Hey smittyj. So your car has finally arrived. You must be excited. I know that I would be. Here is the latest lease info for you. If you were to lease a 2006 Audi A8L through Audi Financial Services right now for 36 months with 12,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00185 and 57%, respectively. Again, this car's 10,000 miles per year residual value would be 1% higher.
 
For information on the MSRP and invoice prices of this car's options, look it up in the following section of this site: Edmunds.com New Vehicle Pricing.

hello carman
hope i'm not too late!
just left a deposit on an A8L w/ premium etc. msrp $78,200
cap cost $76,600 money factor .0019 24 mo. term
21,000 miles / yr $7000 down
$1181 per month plus tax for a total of $1278
 
coulda had 36 mo. $1328 22,500 per year
i woulda been exposed on warranty and they claimed it was $2000 for the extended warranty so i went down to 24 month.
it seems like it shoulda been a bigger difference since the residual was upto around 64%
did i get hosed?
george
i'll be grateful for any input as i am supposed to do the deal tomorrow
