I agree with you very high lease payment. Suspect the deal may be better as the sweet spot for this lease is probably at 36 months rather than 42 months. If you could wait for March, may be able to get better deals on not only audi, but other manufacturers. This month money factors seem to be higher and incentives less or even non-existent.

I agree with the consensus. The Q5 is a really nice vehicle, but I can't ever imagine spending nearly $700 per month for one. That's a lot of money and would could get something truly amazing for that much.

#896 of 949 Q5 New Lease or Used Buy? by brewin

Mar 15, 2013 (9:27 am)

Hello Car_Man and all, based on all the useful data on this forum, I am trying to decide whether it makes more sense to lease or buy used, with $15,000 cash today (combined value of trade-in and cash on hand).
 
Here are the inputs for the lease:
Description: 2013, 2.0T, Premium Plus, and MMI
MSRP: $45,920
Residual: 55%
Invoice: $42,770
Lease term: 36 months
Money factor (MF):0.00141 (thanks car_man)
Cap cost reduction: $3,000 (keeping $12k cash)
Calculated Payment: $494.85 + tax, or $540.63 (with 9.25% tax)
Total 3-year payments: $19,462.58
 
At the end of the 3-years, I'd have paid about $19,500 for the lease. Q5 would be "worth" $25,000 then. Assuming I purchase the Q5 at the end of the lease ($15,500 loan, 3 years, 3% interest), then it would cost another $16,500 in payments, bringing the total to $36,000 in payments over 72 months or about $500 per month.
 
Here are the inputs for the used buy:
Description: 2011, 2.0T, Premium Plus, Navigation, 36,000 miles
Used: $35,000 + $4,500 (costs)
Down: $15,000
Loan: $24,500
Rate: 1.75%
Months: 48
Payments: $530
Total Payments: $25,440
 
Even though used prices seem very high these days (compared to residual percentages), 48 payments * $530 = $25,500. This appears to be a savings of $10,500 over 6 years or $1,750 per year, buying used instead of leasing.
 
Am I look at this the right way? Even if used Q5 prices seems higher than expected, would it still make sense to go the used route (understanding we may have different priorities, etc.)?

Certainly estebanbruin. Audi Financial Services' March buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 Audi Q5 3.0 Premium Plus with 12,000 miles per year are .00143 and 55% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
 
The numbers for 39- and 42-month terms are .00163 / 53% and .00163 / 51%.

Hi tkh1. I haven't run payments on every vehicle out there this month, though some times it seems like I have . The one vehicle that I always personally use as a high-end luxury vehicle lease reference point in my mind is the BMW 7-Series. To me, that's one of the best luxury vehicles out there, so if any other car or truck out there costs more than a 7 to lease then it's not a good deal.
