Hey Charlie. I don't know if you have leased yet or not, but for the month of September Audi decided to stop providing lease support on 2006 models. This isn't necessarily a bad thing because the dealer cash that it is providing on them was not compatible with Audi Financial Services' special lease money factors anyhow. Your best bet is to lease this car through an independent bank and use the $6,000 dealer cash that Audi is currently providing on it to negotiate a very low capitalized cost. Unfortunately I do not personally keep tabs on the lease programs that independent banks are offering, but dealers usually have computer systems that enable them to search the country to see what banks are running the most attractive lease programs on a particular vehicle at any given time.

Hi again Charlie
. I am not surprised that the lease through an independent bank using the dealer cash and AFS' lease program end up with monthly payments that are about the same. Manufacturers often provide dealer cash allowances on vehicles at the end of the model year that are fairly similar to the cost of providing lease support.

Hi johnscar. The lease money factor and residual value that you were quoted for this car are right in line with Audi Financial Services' current program for it. This is always a good sign because it means that the dealer you are working with is not trying to mark up your car's money factor to add additional hidden back-end profit to your deal.
Now let's take a look at this car's selling price. You are only being given a discount of $1,200 on this car. I am not personally all that familiar with what the market is like for the A6 right now, but if you are in an area that has a decent level of competition I personally would not be surprised if you were able to beat this price. Make sure to check out the following discussion here at Edmunds.com to see how much other community members have paid for similar cars lately: "Audi A6: Prices Paid & Buying Experience".

Here's the information that you're looking for, petrie3. You never mentioned how long you want to lease this car for and what sort of mileage allowance you need, so for now I will assume that you are interested in a 36 month lease with 15,000 miles per year. Let me know if you want something different. Audi Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2007 A6 4.2 Sedan with 15,000 miles per year are .00140 and 52%, respectively. Audi is providing close out dealer cash on 2006 A6 models, but it does not currently have any cash on 2007 models.

Thanks Car Man! I am looking for a lease of anywhere from 2-4 years depending on where the "sweet spot" of lease rates, residuals, dealer cash and negotiated Cap Cost is on these cars. I only need 10K miles/year. Thanks again.

This has been discussed before.
Taking dealer cash and getting a huge discount off a 2006 model might not be the best thing to do when leasing. The car is already 1 year old, and the banks kill the residuals and money rate factors. You can't use Audi for leasing when you take dealer cash, so you're at the mercy of other banks.
