There's no way he got a quote for mid $500s. The best you can do is $700+. I really want to lease one of these too, but it is a terrible car to lease right now. I'm probably going to end up leasing a BMW 335xi coupe.

I wouldn't go with the BMW? Can you hold out until September when the new A4 comes out? I hear it's going tokick the 325 and C-class ass. I think you can do a test drive comparison on a track this summer through an audi promotion? I think it's called audi driving experience or something?

A5 lease by 53turk

I test drove the A5, and have to admit that it is way better than 335xi coupe.
The quote I got was outrageous; 50K car, $5K down 15Kmiles/36Mo $1075/mo.
 
Is this a joke?
 
I got a quote from BMW for a 63K 535xi for the same terms, only $2K down $850/mo
 
Please let me know if I can get better deals in NY/NJ area on the A5

dealers can add multiple back end points on the money rate factors.
 
1075 mo is insane on a 50k A5 w/ 5k out of pocket. Your paying 40k to drive a 50k car for 3 years.
 
You might as well buy the car and finance it. A5/S5's should hold their value really well with such a limited amount of cars out there.
 
You can lease a top of the line 58-60k S5 for 1000/1100.mo w/ 5 grand down. A5 should be 700's.

The residuals on the S5 are higher than on the A5 and pretty much wipes out the price differential.

I already own an A4 and want a coupe. The 335xi drives better but I am just drawn to the exterior styling of the A5 and , as always, the beautiful interior of the Audi.

I'ver run several leases on 48-50k range A5's. There's no way that car is over 1000 month with 5k out of pocket. S5 residuals are better, but that payment is way out of line, even at MSRP.
 
It can also be the end of the year as well. 09's wil be here in a matter of weeks on some dealers lots, so the residuals are getting bad.
 
But may guess is the money rate factor has been bumped by the dealer. You can easily manipulate 100/150 month on a 50k car with adding multiple points to the money rate factor.

Do you think once the new '09's start showing up there will be some better deals? Any discounting from MSRP? lower money factors or higher residuals? I don't think i can justify paying $200 more a month for the A5 over the IS350 -- even though i'm trying to!

I don't think 09's will be a better deal. My guess is that Audi will raise prices on both models some.
 
The lease deals will continue to be average on the A5 / S5. With such a demand and limited production, there's no need for Audi to care about sweet lease deals.
 
It's usually better to lease a car at the beginning of the model year, rather than the end if it's a popular model.
 
The A5 will not need year end cash and incentives to get them off the lot as 08's are mostly sold out.

well, though the A5 is a very nice looking car with a good performance I will go for the 535xi due to the lease rates.
