Thanks. I think one thing I learned is not to lease from Audi since they don't let you re-lease in a way that makes you not liable for the remainder of the lease. If you care about your credit, that basically means you cannot re-lease.
 
BMW and Mercedes do release you from obligation if you re-lease. If someone would like to find out about other lease companies, they can check the link below - however obviously terms may change so make sure you check the lease documents you actually have to sign rather than rely solely on that link. I for one will not lease from Audi again or any other company that has this rule.

I am looking at a Q7, after one year, what are your thoughts? Does the v6 have enough power? Is there something about the car that is unsatisfying

After 18 months with my 3.6 Q7, I can honestly say it is a love hate relationship. I love the way the car handles. Only the Mazda CX9 handled better. I completely enjoy the cars ride, comfort, and agility. It has been a great car to teach my oldest to drive on. Audi's ergonomics are among the best designs available. The Bluetooth interface is great. I do wish I had gotten the back up camera and the Ipod interface. The 3.6 engine is more than enough in my opinion, and is well matched to the car. The interior (in Cardamon Beige) is very well executed, and put together excellently. I have the Panorama Roof, and that sold me on the car. The drivers seat is extremely comfortable, and the back seat gets rave reveiws from both adult friends and my teenagers. I also love the Garnet Red paint color and 20 inch wheels. The car is solid and luxurious.
 
That being said, there are quite a few things that drive me crazy with this car. First, I have had to take it into the shop at least 6 times since March for a recurring programming error with the ESP and Adapative headlights. The display will give me a ESP fault, followed by the Adaptive Headlight fault, and stay lit from 2 minutes to a few hours. It is now at the dealer AGAIN as I write this comment for the same problem. The dealer's service department are consulting with Audi in Germany because they cannot figure out the problem here. When coming to any slow stop, the brakes SCREECH loudly. This also occurs with every one of the loaner Q7s my dealer has provided. Audi needs to do something about its brakes. In addition, I had to replace the front brakes on my Q7 (at a cost of nearly $800) at ONLY 15K miles (my old Lexus LX would go 40K miles before needing brakes). There is a very irritating rattle with the 2nd row seats any time we hit a bump of any sort (Audi Service claims not to hear it). The parking brake release must be pulled at least 3 times before it releases (not fun when you have carpel tunnel in your left arm). Every few days, with no rhyme or reason, the display screen between the gauges goes completely blank. It will work the next time I start the car. The gas mileage on the 3.6 engine is only 14.5 running around town, but I have gotten a consistent 23 MPG on the highway cruising at 70MPH. At this point, I only have 20K miles on the car, and I can truly say I am glad I leased it. I will not be keeping it when the lease ends.
 
IF you are going to get an Audi, my recommendations would be to lease the car (if you are willing to live with the annoying issues). With Audi's spotty reliability record, you may want to bail out of any unreliable car in a few years. Also, if you can wait, I would recommend getting the 3.0 Diesel engine to get better fuel mileage.
 
If you are purchasing, I would recommend getting the Acura MDX, or Lexus RX (if you do not need the 3rd seat). Also, when I was looking 19 months ago, I was quite impressed with both the Buick Enclave and Mazda CX9. Judging from what I have read in Consumer Reports, I would go for a Mazda, Lexus, or Acura.

Does anyone know what Audi is currently offering for a 2009 Q7 Premium Plus with sunroof lease? I would be looking at 3-years and 12,000 miles per year. I am looking for the residual, money factor, etc.
 
Thanks.

Hi mrcr,
 
That seems like a very good deal on a premium plus - can you tell me where you were able to get that deal? Contact me directly if necessary. Thanks!

Hi robda. Audi Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2009 Q7 3.6 Premium Plus with 12,000 miles per year are .00026 and 43%, respectively. Audi is waiving the first month's payment and security deposit on Q7 leases in December.
