Q7 lease after Summer event by fastandfaster

Car_man, would you please post the latest MF and Residual for 2009 Q7 Premium 3.6 10k/year 36-month lease? Thanks in advance.
 
Also, it sounds like the residual value of the same car has dropped 7-10% from early 2008 with similar MF. I am wondering what Audi's strategy is. Do you see their lease program fully compensated by no payment drive-off and special lease supports? Or the car's residual value has really fallen off the cliff to low/mid 40s while the X5 is staying on the high 50s?

Dent by rbirns1

My Q7 was rear ended. Small dent near the license plate. The other driver agreed to pay. I got 2 written estimates ($800 and $850), and the guy sent me a check for the higher. My lease is up in Sept. Should I have the repair now, or just turn the car in with the dent? I guess the question is, do you think Audi Financial will charge me more than $850 for the damage?

Hello fastandfaster. Here's the information that you're looking for. Audi Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2009 Q7 3.6 Premium with 10,000 miles per year are .00057 and 45%, respectively.
 
Over the past several years manufacturers have been consistently overestimating vehicles' residual values. The chinks in the armor started to show when gas prices exploded last summer and the value of used SUVs fell off of a cliff. The low resale value disease spread to cars as the economy worsened. Now the vehicles that are coming back off lease are worth much less than banks were estimating that they would be worth several years ago, causing them to take millions of dollars in losses. As a result, most banks have become much more conservative in estimating vehicles' residual values for leases.
 
It's not fair to compare any bank's residual values to BMW's. BMW Financial Services consistently, intentionally overestimates vehicles' residuals as a form of lease support to help its parent company sell more vehicles. Its residuals are not realistic.

I am able to get a Q7, premium package, 36 months, 12K miles per month, taxs due at signing (approx. $3800) - for $766/month. This is through a sales and leasing company and not through the audi dealership (although all warranties still apply) Is this a good value?

what's the deal with these lease brokers??? by nabeelfarooqui

so i am getting a premium plus with panormaic sun roof with zero drive off, 10k miles for $700, 12k miles for $720. i was sooooo shocked at this price... my first questions to them what like, dude did you steal these cars or what???
 
firstly, i don't think that i need confirmation from anyone that this is a cherry of a deal... but more importantly, is it something that i should consider since it is not from a dealership but from a lease broker... i mean, who knows what the reputation is of those guys and if i will get riped off or not... i mean, what about the vehicle warranty/condition/etc...
 
any advice???
 
p.s. the company is www.mandvleasing.com

Please post your experience with them after you get the car home -- all fees paid.
The rate seems good -- no reason to expect problems. They advertise cars heavily on swapalease.

Hi marcel4. Here's the lease program info that you're looking for. Audi Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a base 2009 Q7 3.6 with 12,000 miles per year are .00057 and 42%, respectively.
 
Audi is currently providing a $350 cash incentive on leases of this truck through AFS. It isn't much, but you might as well make sure to take it into account when negotiating your Q7's capitalized cost.
