October Numbers and Timing Lease by jobualli
Sep 23, 2009 (7:43 pm)
Reply
Two questions for you all:
 
1) Are the October leasing numbers out yet for a 2010 A4 Quattro Premium and Premium Plus?
 
2) My current car is leased through the end of the year (Jan 2, 2010). Is it best to work out a deal sooner for a factory-build and have it delivered in time for my need (late Dec) or wait until later and work out a deal for an in-inventory or dealer trade (i.e., already build and in the States)? If the former, then about when should I begin negotiating terms for an order (how soon ahead of my current lease end)? How would that work then... will lease be locked in at current numbers or the numbers that are current when the car is actually built and delivered?
 
Thanks!

Hello lefty4. Audi Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 24 month lease of a 2010 A4 2.0 Sedan Premium Plus with quattro and 15,000 miles per year are .00142 and 58%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of a Prestige model are .00142 and 54%.
 
15,000 miles per year is the highest mileage allowance that AFS publishes residual values for. If you need to drive more than that, you will have to purchase additional miles on a per-mile basis. It is less expensive to do so at lease signing than it is to wait until lease-end and have to pay an excess mileage penalty.

Hi boas13. I see that you are considering making a $2,500 capitalized cost reduction on this lease. I always advise consumers not to make cap cost reductions when leasing. Those who make them risk losing part or all of them if their vehicle is totaled in an accident or stolen and never recovered. Even though it means that your monthly payment will be a little higher, you will be much safer going with a zero down lease.
 
Let's take a look at this car's selling price. The 2010 Audi A4 that you described probably has a spread of around $2,700 between its full MSRP and its dealer invoice price. You were quoted a dealer discount of $2,250 on this car. That is an excellent deal.
 
Just make sure that the dealer calculates your monthly payment using its buy rate lease money factor of .00142 and you're in business.

Hi jobualli. Audi's current lease program is only scheduled to run through September 30th, so at this point there is no way to know what its October program will be like.
 
Unless you are very particular about your cars, generally speaking it is better to purchase something that is in dealer inventory than to order. I say this because dealers are usually more interested in moving something that they physically have in stock that they are already paying floorplan interest on and that they can finalize a deal on immediately than order a vehicle and have the deal potentially fall apart.

Car_man, thank you and I am now driving my new 2010 A4. It is a beautiful car and greatly appreciate your reply. Sales and finance reps were nothing but professional, did not try and sell me any addons and were top notch all the way. If my experience with the car holds for the term of the lease I may end up buying it out. Again, thanks.

Hi mikekx. The easiest way for me to evaluate this deal would be for me to take a look at this car's selling price. The selling prices of leased vehicles are negotiable, just as if you were paying cash for or financing them. Without this number, it is difficult to tell how large a dealer discount you are being given. Find out how much the dealer is charging you for this car and let us know. I'm sure that either myself or another helpful community member will gladly tell you what they think,
 
For now I can tell you that the money factor that you were quoted on this car is slightly high. Audi Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor for a 36 month lease of a 2010 A4 2.0 Sedan FWD is only .00069. Make sure that the dealer uses that factor to calculate your car's monthly payment.
