#239 of 395 2013 S4 Premium Plus Lease by isles1

Aug 20, 2012 (1:03 pm)

I was quoted $1,000 over invoice for a factory order 2013 S4 Premium Plus, 36-month lease, 12K miles per year, Money factor .00141, Residual of 59% (with Audi Care). Audi Care is in addition to the negotiated sales price.
 
I saw a recent post reporting a negotiated sales price of $500 over invoice. Considering my locale of downstate New York, is $1,000 over invoice fair?
 
Has anyone has any success negotiating in other ways, such as a reduced acquisition fee, discounted Audi Care, etc.?
 
Thanks in advance.

Here you go isles1. Audi Financial Services' August buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 S4 Sedan Premium Plus with 12,000 miles per year are .00141 and 58%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
 
The last time that I checked, Audi Care added 1% to vehicles' residual values.

Hi jayhawkmd. Please see my previous post for the 36-month information. The numbers for a 42 month / 12k lease would be .00141 and 56% (this is probably the best term to go with on this model right now).
 
If you were to lease with only 10,000 miles per year, this car's residual values would be 1% higher.

Hi isles1. I personally don't have a problem with $1,000 over invoice on an ordered S4. If you really shopped around you might be able to find a dealer that would be willing to beat that on a unit that they had in stock, but it might be a little more difficult to beat that on an ordered vehicle.

Many thanks for the information and replies.
 
I have a test drive scheduled for the holiday weekend. If I fall in love with the S4, I have to sell my wife on the car (and the price) too.

#245 of 395 48 Month Lease? by suntint

Sep 11, 2012 (6:52 pm)

Apologies if this has been asked before but is a 48 month lease doable - I haven't seen anyone asking about longer than 42 months. 42 months is a little short for me and with a 48 month and 12,500 miles/yr the warranty period would just be covered.
 
How much would it likely lower the residual?

You're very welcome, isles1. You're not kidding, while it certainly is a nice car the S4 is definitely pretty expensive.

Hi suntint. The reason why the longest leases that you have seen mentioned here are for 42-months is that this is the longest term that Audi's special lease money factors are available for. Theoretically one could lease an Audi for 48-months, but in order to do so you would have to use Audi's standard lease program and the money factor would increase somewhat. A 42-month lease or shorter would be a better deal.
 
As far as the difference in residual values, there's probably a 3% spread between 42- and 48-months on most Audis.

You're telling me!
 
Any word on the new numbers that came out on Sept. 5, 2012 for 36 month, 12K per year, S4 Premium Plus?
 
Just to make sure I am negotiating off the correct numbers: Using the Edmunds invoice calculator, I come up with an invoice of $48,814 for a Premium Plus, w/ Sport Differential, 19" wheels, in Monsoon Gray Metallic.
 
Again, I was quoted $1,000 over invoice. I am going to try to get the dealer to throw in the "Supercharged" badges because the "3.0 T" badges bother me Apparently, the 3.0 T badges will be replaced with the Supercharged badges when the factory runs out of the 3.0 T badges.
