Greetings papazhenyaaa. Since you are new to the world of leasing, you definitely should check out the following informative articles that are available here at Edmunds.com prior to visiting any dealers: 10 Steps to Leasing a New Car and Calculate Your Own Lease Payment. I would be happy to give you an idea of what sort of lease payment to expect on this car. However, in order for me to do so it would be a big help if you were able to provide me with its full MSRP (including the destination charge) and an approximate selling price. Always remember that the selling prices of leased vehicles can be negotiated, just as if you were paying cash or financing. You should be able to get an idea of how much you should pay for this car right now by looking at the prices paid by other community members in the following discussion: "Audi A6: Prices Paid & Buying Experience". Once you know the prices of the car that you are interested in, stop back and let me know how long you want to lease it for and how many miles per year you need to be allowed to drive it (15,000, 12,000, or 10,000) and I will estimate what its lease payment should be for you using Audi's actual lease program.

Are the Money Factors readily available, here or elsewhere, for 36, 39 month (or any other sweet spot) leases for the '06 Audi A6?

Greetings All. I'm a newbie to the forum, looking to lease: 2006 A6 Avant Premium Technology Cold Dealer (Seattle) quotes: Cap Cost of 52,071 (based on TMV less $1,500 Audi Owner Loyalty). With 12k year, money factor of .00155 and .56 residual, a 36 month lease payment is $803 (including 8.8% tax but zero down); 24 months is $848 (also zero down). With ~$2000 down, the monthly drops to $744 (36 months) and $763 (24 months). I'm coming off an A4 lease, which is up in February 2006 -- I believe that my buyout option is about $1200 to $1500 less than KBB/Edmunds trade-in, but so far, I'm not getting any credit from the dealership for this. Instead, I've been told that I'll be 'saving' ~1,000 (2 months lease payment and waiver of disposition fee). Also, the dealer needs to bring up the car from California (though they say they're not charging for this). My questions are: 1. Overall, is this a decent deal? The numbers seem really high to me. 2. If not, where should I be pushing? On the Cap Cost? (What's the $4,500 number referred to in the forum?) On the trade in? 3. Will I be better off waiting until after T-giving or early 2006? I'm just not sure how the leasing cycles work re: money factors and residuals. I'd rather not wait, but would do so if it meant a much better deal. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I realize there's a lot here, so thanks all.

Car man: I am about to pull the trigger on leasing a 2006 A6 3.2, but I first want to look for any "sweet spots" on various combinations of lease terms. To that end, I would appreciate whatever you can tell me about the following: 1. What are the current money factors and residuals, respectively, for 36month/12K, and 24 month/12K leases? 2. Do these numbers change appreciably for 10K/year miles? 3. What cost reduction can I expect if I offer to pay the total lease cost in one lump sum up-front payment? What are the downsides of doing so? 4. We are approaching the end of the month. What are the pros and cons of leasing a car in November compared to waiting until early December? 5. Does Audi currently have any special lease programs/ incentives that should be factored into my decision making? Thanks. -- Plug |

Replying to: plug (Nov 20, 2005 6:14 am) There really isn't any downside do paying for your entire lease in advance, provided that you have the money to do so and the reduction in your vehicle's interest rate exceeds the opportunity cost of tying up so much money for such a long period of time. Unfortunately, I do not know the exact deduction that Audi Financial Services provides for advance pay leases. The main negative about waiting until December to lease your car is that you don't know what Audi's December lease program for it will be like. If I had to make an educated guess, I'd say that its December lease program will be about the same, but there is no guarantee that this will be the case.
