#119 of 947 Down Payment by pc323

Not sure if anyone has thought about the down payment in a much more broad sense. My suggestion is to not provide a dealership a down payment. Obviously you must consider what works best for you but logic says a down payment isn't the best option. Let's do some math:
 
- Dealer Quote
 
Get them to quote you both with a down payment and another without.
 
1. monthly quote w/o down - monthly quote w/ down = difference
2. difference x term = down payment (does it equal or does it not equal your down)
 
Most of the time it works in the dealerships favor. The amount of the down does not get applied 1:1 by lease end. Usually there is a couple hundred dollars difference that you could have had on the plus side and in your pocket. Sure, you could probably negotiate it so that it gets applied as logic would have it but there is another caveat.
 
You just gave up a substantial chunk of money (usually $2k or $3k). This is what I would do (and have done for my Q5):
 
Put the money you would have given them as a down payment and put it into a high interest savings account (such as ING Direct 1.5%). Each month just take the small difference out of the ING account and use it towards the higher monthly. You'll continue to earn interest on what would have been the down. By lease end you'll be out on top with a tank or two of gas. In addition, during the lease term that money can be used for other emergencies that may arise instead of tapping your other reserves.
 
In the end, it's all about squeezing every last penny in your favor.

I don't have exact numbers in front of me but here are some key stats:
 
Ibis White w/ beige
Premium Plus
Nav
19-in. wheels
Audi Care
12k/yr
 
Selling price: $43k (and change)
Monthly: $720 - 36/mos.
No Down
 
I may have been able to negotiate it down to $710-$715 (maybe even lower) but I still feel like I got a good deal. A great car buying experience and the Q5 is phenomenal.

#121 of 947 audi summer lease event in atlanta area by allchemie

May 29, 2009 (2:10 pm)

For the Summer Audi Sales Event in the Atlanta District they have have the following lease until July 6th, 2009.
 
Basically it is a 36 month lease fora PremiumPlus at $599/month with 10K miles including destination charge MSRP $42,800 with a purchase option at end for $20,972. It also has a turn in charge of $350 if you decide to bring the car in at the end of the lease.
 
Considering that "PC23" above has a lease based on $43K and change for $720/month, this is a much better deal. One could probably get a $47,000 Q5 at around $725/month in the Atlanta district.

I should have specified that the "Selling price" does not include taxes, title, and doc fee. It is the agreed upon price not including the upgraded wheels and Audi Care which added an extra $5/month ( 36/months = $180).
 
The Atlanta deal sounds really good for those who can do without the Nav.

The 2010 models are identical to the 2009 models. I think there may be a few slight changes in options/packages. From what I understand, the model year was changed to keep in line with the model years of competitors.

#124 of 947 Audi Summer Sales Event by allchemie

May 31, 2009 (2:22 pm)

The Atlanta area summer deal event seems to have a residual of 49%. The MSRP $42,800 X 0.49= $20,972, which is the price you can purchase the Q5 after the 3 year lease is done. The financed part if one takes the full MSRP $42,800 - $20,972 = $21,828, which is the amount depreciated and financed. $21,828 divided by 36 months = $606.333. Since I'm sure they aren't financing at less than 0%, it is likely the sales price of the vehicle is at least $1,000 less then the MSRP.

Hello car man,
 
Could you please let me know the current money factor and residual value for Q5 Premium and Premium Plus available for June (the Summer Event), 10k or 12k miles/yr, if you have the information? I am in CT, if they vary by region. Thanks in advance.

#127 of 947 Q5 lease-best lease for june? by rpr2

Jun 04, 2009 (7:50 pm)

I am looking at the Q5 premium with heated seats, sun roof, homelink, symphony radio 12,000mi/yr, 6.5 % tax 3 years no money down. How much is the best lease out there?
 
Currently live in Ohio.
 
Also, would prefer the latest unit with the softer A4-steering. Also would consider a premium plus.
