Hi jauri7788. Vehicles' dollar residual values are calculated by multiplying the residual value percentage times the full MSRP, including the destination charge and the MSRPs of any options that can be residualized.

Hi jauri7788. It's not healthy to look back, just be happy that you'll be getting great deals on your leases from now on .

Considering how low the rates on the S4 are, I should probably lock it in before April 2

Just wanted to verify if MF .00068 applies to both premium and prestige?

Just going off the past few years, I would not expect the MF to get any better after in April when the current program expires. The residuals will probably move up a few points with the new model year, along with higher MFs.
 
If you wait until April, you may find that dealers have no more allocations for MY2013 order, and will be in the position to order a MY2014 or take a MY2013 from stock. The MF also tends to jump when the new model year comes out, and your bargaining power drops with an increase in demand for the new model year, together with an increase in buyers as most locales move higher temps and nicer weather (car buying season).
 
So I'd lock in the current program by placing an order on of before April 2. If for some chance the programs are better when you take delivery, you may avail yourself of those programs instead.
 
I locked in Nov. programs for P+ 36 months (MF .00105, 56%) but will get the benefit of the current program (MF .00068, 55%). The current program saves me about $20 a month, or about $700 over the lease term. Not bad.

Yes, tcov, that is the money factor for both the Premium & Prestige but the residual values for the Prestige are 2% lower.

Sorry if this has already been posted but I'm picking up my custom ordered S4 this week and want to make sure I have the most current lease details. on a Premium Plus, 36 mo lease, 15k/yr. with Audi Care. What should the money factor and residual values be? When I order the vehicle in Nov the RES was 54% - not sure about the MF. Want to make sure I am not getting ripped off before I go in and sign the lease so if you could give me the latest #s ASAP I sure would appreciate it.

I've already ordered my Audi with delivery most likely late March/Early April. Could I lock in the lease rate before delivery? Would this be a wise idea?

When I ordered my S4 in Nov I was locked into the lease rate, however if the rate went down at the time of delivery I would get the lower rate. That is why I am looking for the current rate - I am taking delivery next week.
