Re: Re: '06 A6 Avant Lease by Car_man HOST

You're welcome maxbos. I don't think that the selling price that you were quoted for this vehicle is that unreasonable for an '06 Avant right now, especially if you are ordering your vehicle rather than buying one off of a dealer's lot. Since your credit is in good shape, there is really only two possible explanations as to why the money factor that you were quoted for your wagon are higher than Audi Financial Services' current buy rate for it. Either you are having your vehicle's security deposit or acquisition fee waived or your dealer is marking up AFS' base factor to add additional back-end profit to your deal. You don't have to prove what AFS' actual buy rate money factor is to the dealer that you are working with because they know exactly what it is and why the one that they are quoting you is higher. If you insist that they use the lowest possible money factor you may be able to get them to do so, but you are not in the strongest bargaining position given the fact that you have already given them a $500 deposit.

Re: Dealing with Excess Mileage by Car_man HOST

Hi fullnate. I am sorry to say that Audi Financial Services probably will not waive the excess mileage penalty for your current leased vheicle just because you plan on leasing another one through it. The only way to avoid having to pay an excess mileage penalty on your current lease is to purchase your vehicle at lease-end and continue to drive it, trade it in on a new vehicle, or sell it on your own. Unfortunately, it often turns out that the purchase prices of leased vehicles is higher than their value on the open market. As a result, you probably will not save any money by purchasing your leased vehicle and trading it in and should just pay your excess mileage penalty and start fresh with your new lease, getting a higher mileage allowance this time.

Finding the right dealer by papazhenyaaa

Hi there Car_man. It seems you can help me with my problem. I've never leased a car before and every time I talk to dealers it seems like they are trying to rip me off. I need to know a fair price for a lease payment so I could go to the dealership and know what i am talking about. Can you please help out? I am looking to get an 2006 Audi A6 3.2 Quattro with a Premium and Coldweather in White Ext and Black interior. Any idea how much would that cost a month? and if you know of any special deals right now could you recommend some? Maybe you know a good dealer in NY/NJ area? Thanks alot

Take a look Audi's website right now and help yourself out.
 
They have a $519/month lease deal for 24 months on a $46,140 A6 Quattro. The premium and cold weather will bring you to about $49,000 or so. So figure an extra 40-45 month to get those options. About $560 - $570 is where you'll be on the car you want for 24 months with about $3700 plus any dealer fees due at signing.

thanks alot for the response. I did check it out, too bad the write "tax excluded" with small letters. I called the dealer and asked about this deal + tax he said that's like 5500 down total....strange. He said 565 with premium. I multiplied the payments by 24 then took 6% new jersey tax and it comes out to less than a grand, therefore i don't know how he came up wtih 5500, any ideas?

Most dealers will have a documnetation fees with tag and titling, so for most people that's an extra $400-500. The Website says $3700 or so due at signing plus any dealer fees. So I'd ask for a beakdown of that $5500.
 
Also, check on the options of the car. It might have more stuff on it than the ad car. 18 inch wheels are an extra $1000, satellite radio is $550. That could make the difference.

First of all, the Audi $519/mo lease deal is a get-you-in-the-door special. I'm afraid you can't use it as a base from which to figure a deal on cars with more options.
  
My take on the $5500 down is that it's mostly cap cost reduction, because they are not giving you much, if any, deal on the selling price of the car. They are likely to be using a higher money factor too. I'm shooting from the hip here, but I'd bet your $565/mo is really $765/mo when you figure around $200/mo paid in advance in the cap cost reduction.
