08 models are already a year old, so after a 3 year lease, you have 4 years of depreciation. most luxury cars are lucky to hold 50% of their msrp after 4 years time.
 
there's nothing horrible about the 47% residual...it's just being realistic on Audi's part
 
Audi dropped the msrp by almost 5 grand on all A6 over the last 60 days and re-issued msrp stickers. So the same A6 that was 53k in March, is now 48k.

Hey twodomes. Audi extended its October lease program through November 11th. Until then, Audi Financial Services' buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 2008 A6 3.2 Sedan with quattro and 10,000 miles per year are .00059 and 47%, respectively. When negotiating your lease on this car, make sure to take advantage of the $2,500 cash incentive that is available on it right now.

Lease - A6 3.2 Quatro + Nav + S line ext by 3fromtheedge

$2500 customer cash rebate - MF .000590 - Residual 44% - Adjusted selling price
$41,799 - free Audi car care (-$690)
36 month lease = $603.16.
 
This would be my 3rd Audi from this dealership. I walked on this deal because the 2005 A6 I'm just coming out of has the tech package of that time (Home link + advanced key+etc). When I asked the salesman to get me the car with the tech package at the same price he said I'd have to pay around $650 per month or put around $3500 down. Anyway he called me tonight and said don't do anything because he my have a manufacturer's deal coming out in the next couple of days.
 
Has anyone heard about any new incentives in November?

Coming off lease by thbell

Car Man: Hi. My Audi 2006 A6 3.2 Quattro (with premium package, sunroof package and premium leather) is going off lease next June, at which time it will have been driven only about 15,000 miles in total. When I leased the car, I paid for 12,000 miles per year on a 3 year lease, or 36,000 miles in total, so I have driven the car much less than I expected and much less than I have paid for. The car will have a purchase price of approximately $26,500. The car is in excellent condition, having been used basically for highway driving to a weekend home, so I suspect that the car may be worth more than the price at which I can purchase it. On the other hand, I am not interested in owning the car, and instead I would like to lease a new 2009 A8L. Do you think there is any resale value to the car above its purchase price? If so, what do you think would be the best strategy to realize on that value? Many thanks.

Hi 3fromtheedge. Audi is still providing the $2,500 cash incentive on leases of the 2008 A6 with its new November program, but this car's money factor increased slightly to .00081. On the bright side, Audi is now waiving the first month's payment and security deposit for free on the '08 A6 so that makes up for the difference...but I doubt that this program will have a lower monthly payment than the one that it replaced.

Hi thbell. It is difficult to say whether your A6 will be worth more than its purchase option price when your lease is up in June. While it certainly will be well under its mileage limit, the way that used vehicle prices have been plummeting it may not be. The vast majority of manufacturers' lease programs have overestimated vehicles' residual values compared to what they are worth on the open market right now.
 
You should be able to get a good idea of how much your car is worth by stopping by the following sections of Edmunds.com a month or two before the scheduled end of your lease: Edmunds.com True Market Value in the Used Vehicle Pricing section of this site and the "Real-World Trade-In Values" discussion.
 
You even can place a call to Audi Financial Services a month or two before your lease ends to see if the would be willing to negotiate your car's purchase price even lower. More often than not banks won't, but they do occasionally so it's worth a shot. Whatever you do, don't tell them how low your mileage is when you call.
 
Good luck and let us know how everything turns out.

Excess Wear and Tear Protection by twodomes
Nov 21, 2008 (12:46 am)

Does anyone (esp. Car_Man) have thoughts on this program that's offered when you buy or lease a new audi? I was quoted a price of $850, which covers up to $5K of damage, with any one line item allowed to be no more than $1K. It's sold thru a company called America Auto Guardian, which supposedly has an agreement with Audi. Salesman said you just get the end lease inspection, send the invoice to AAG, and they take care of the damages.
 
I just had my inspection on a 2 year audi lease and got hit with $1370 in charges for scratched rims and a few scratches and dents on the car. Found a body shop to do the repairs for $1100, but that's still more than it would have cost me if I'd had the coverage. I'm now going into a 3 year lease so it seems worth it to pay the insurance upfront when I know it'll probably get scratched and dinged again, and knowing now how nitpicky Audi is on the charges.
 
Salesman also said I could tint the windows and then not get charged for it when I turn the car as Audi considers that excess wear and tear so it'd be covered (as long as total cost to remove that modification is less than $1K)..

08 Audi A6 Lease Details by twodomes
Nov 21, 2008 (8:56 pm)

Just signed on a 2008 Audi A6 3.2 CVT w/ premium, nav, ipod, homelink, s line exterior. 36 months/ 10k miles per year. MSRP was around $44215 (after $5150 enhancement credit-- original MSRP was $49365).
 
Selling price before rebates was a little under $35000. But I added $650 Audicare (which raised residual by 1%) and the $845 excess wear and tear protection.
 
$1540 total driveoff including first months payment. I qualified for the $1500 Loyalty bonus which helped make it such a good deal, and Audi technically picked up my first month's payment.
 
$443/month including taxes.
 
Car is Silver metallic on gray. Had to be ordered from another dealer bc there are so few left that fit my specs (Salesman went out of his way to find one to make the deal happen). If you want a black one or quattro, there are still a lot of these available.
 
Best dealership in CA that made it a fun experience: Santa Monica Audi. One salesman in particular made everything happen and was extremely straightforward and helpful. Message me for his name and he will hook you up.
 
They also realized they had miscalculated the residual in my favor by 1%, but they ate the cost so my deal stayed the same. That alone should tell you something about why I think so highly of this salesperson and dealership.
 
Massive thanks to CAR_MAN and members of this forum who helped along the way!
