Pre-Owned leasing or leasing a previous model year car is generally not a good idea. However, it sometimes does work out best.
 
I generally have to say at this point though with subvented money factors on 2008 models (.00006) vs money factor on 2007 models (.00170-.00350 depending on which bank), the odds are that the 2008 model will lease much better.
 
There are a lot of variables in leasing previous model year cars and used cars. Not many people know how to do it (including 95% of sales managers and finance managers at car dealerships from personal experience). Usually the residual is a numerical value that one has to figure out and add/subtract for miles/options/etc. If you want to post the exact miles and options on the car, I can run some numbers on the 2007 demo when I get back to the office Tuesday for you.

Sorry, busy with month end stuff here at work, but here is the current US Bank program and ALG residual:
 
Rate: .00190- .00200
Bank Fee: $695 at tier (1)
Residal for 36/15K: 23675 (add 2% to this number for 12K)
 
Hope this is enough to get you started. But a very quick calculation shows a payment of low $900s + tax with no cap reduction assuming a sale price of $51.5K.

Looks like a good deal.
 
I just bought the exact same car this weekend (5/26/08) with the MSRP of $48,775 ($750 for the paint color) and got this deal.
 
36 months/10K year
$900 out of pocket (includes $689 dealer fee and all taxes)
$567 month + tax
 
Used Audi Summer Event as a baseline, so they paid first month's payment as well.

Jerry, you appear to be the go-to man for Audi Q7 information! If the posts weren't 70-some pages long I might be able to find an answer to my question, but for the sake of time here I am.
 
We were intending to just purchase a Q7 this summer, but times have changed and a baby and new house are now on the way. We're looking to lease now....we want a 2008 Q7 3.6 Premium, S-Line with the 20" rims (WQB), moonroof (3FU), convenience (PPX) and technology packages (XTA) - MSRP: $60,175, Actual Price:$56,800. We will most likely being purchasing it at the end of the lease. What kind of monthly should I expect on that kind of lease? Also, what kind of purchase price am I looking at when it's done? Are extended warranty plans available to vehicles coming off lease?
 
Thanks in advance for any help!

No problem, always happy to help. The problem with the S-Line package is that you take a 2pt residual hit. However, if you intend on purchasing after lease-end, this does not matter much to you.
 
Not knowing what your tax rate is nor your DMV fees, a quick calculation under Cali taxes shows a payment of low-to mid $800s (pre-salestax) based on $0 drive-off (Summer of Audi program) and 15k miles per year.
 
For your own calculations:
Rate: .00006
Residual for 15K (3.6 Premium with S-Line) 45%
Bank fee: $575
 
In terms of end-of lease buyout and extended warranties, my best advice (and this may not hold true in the future) is get it CPOed. To do this is very easy though most dealers don't have a lot of experience with it. Basically, the dealer buys it from AFS when you return the car, runs it through the CPO process, and sells it back to you. Basically, you pay residual (or less based on the market pricing when these cars come off lease), a couple of shop hours, and the actual CPO costs, plus taxes and tags (as applicable in your county/state).
 
Most extended warranties are a pain-in-the-butt to deal with from the dealership level and rather expensive. The CPO process should be around $2K plus the costs of the reconditioning necessary, so it should be less expensive.
 
Hope this answers most of your questions

Thanks a ton, Jerry!
 
We have the option of Cook or DuPage county in Illinois for registering the car. Is one location better for registering under a lease? I thought I heard somewhere that there was a benefit to leasing in the city; conversely, a purchase is more beneficial in DuPage because of the lower sales taxes.
 
And, finally, last question - is there any way in that scenario to put something down at Lease Inception to lower the monthly payment? Not prepaying, but instead paying the fees, etc (altering the Summer Event a bit)?
 
Thanks again.

Can't answer your tax question as I'm not familiar with the way tax works on a lease in your state. In CA, you pay sales tax on the monthly payment, so if you can register the car in the county with the lower tax rate legally, that would be the way to go.
 
In terms of the putting money down to lower the payment, that's at your discretion, but when you get to borrow money at .00006 money factor, you're not paying anything in terms of profit for the bank. Also, the higher the payment, the higher the "rebate" from Audi under the Summer of Audi event.
 
I would personally put as little down as possible (heck maybe even roll in the start-up fees if possible), and take the slightly higher payment. You're realistically going to be spending roughly the same amount of money in the long run.

Hi lansa. I don't believe that Audi is currently providing any dealer cash on the 2008 Q7.
