Thanks for the info on the Premium Plus residual. I'm finding it harder to justify the payment differential between the A5 and an equivalent 328i xDrive Coupe. Other than I want (WANT!) the A5. Your mention of Audi Care just reminded me that BMW includes the maintenance, so the price comparison is actually getting worse.

FWIW, I was looking at same BMW as alternative to A5, and included G37x in the mix. Exact (or as near possible) same configuration on BMW was a couple $k more expensive MSRP and G was couple less. Discounts on 09 A5s were available but 3.2s were more expensive to start. '10 2.0T brought price down and dealers are getting enough to warrant discounts off MSRP - but not to same extent as bimmer or G. I was looking to purchase outright not lease so can't comment on how that compares for comparable cars. G lost on build quality and style; BMW lost on style and waaay toooo common and both had inferior AWD systems. I'm generally a 'buy & hold' guy with cars so my "I want (WANT)" impulse won out - am loving my 5!

I'm going to second packrfan on this one. I was looking at the same three (a5, 335i, g37), plus the c-class. Everybody and their mom drive a 3-series. Granted, the engine is better, but that's it. Style, build quality, interior, awd . . all better on the audi. In my case, it was worth it to forgo the 2500 (plus better MF) bmw was offering to get rid of the 09s. There's a reason audi released the 2010s early and have only discounted very little. Everybody wants one and is willing to pay for it.
Why not pay a little more and get gawking onlookers on the way home?

Whaddya know. I also drove the G37. Loved the power, did not like my head up against the headliner the entire time, even with the seat as far down as possible. That's a dealbreaker.
I believe the technical term for you two is "enablers." Based on the numbers, it's going to be about $130 more a month for the A5 over the 328. Ouch. And that doesn't include service. Double ouch.

I've been called many things but "enabler" is new  An intervention is required: quick, go to local Audi dealer, test drive a '10 A5 with NewGen nav and B&O, take two aspirin (ok, oxycontin ) for the 'ouch' and sign the paperwork! You won't regret it!
Seriously, I get it - $130 is a big % increase - just wish Audi didn't know they had such a good thing

Nice choice of replacement vehicles, scanty. I really like the A5. Audi Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2010 A5 2.0L Premium Plus with quattro and 12,000 miles per year are .00196 and 55%, respectively.
You are correct, AFS' 12,000 mile per year residual values are 2% higher than its 15,000 mile per year resids.

Hi tman20. All of the lease programs that I mention in the forums are manufacturers' official programs that are either being run by their captive finance companies. In the event that a brand does not have a captive finance company, I quote the numbers for the bank that it runs its official special lease program through, which 90% of the time is Chase and the other 10% is US Bank.
The low mileage adders for leases vary from bank to bank. Audi Financial Services adds 3% to its 15,000 mile per year residual values for leases with 10,000 miles per year. I'm not sure if one can lease an Audi through AFS with only 8,000 miles per year.
