Here you go intubator4. Audi Financial Services' September buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 S5 Coupe Premium Plus with 12,000 miles per year are .00140 and 58%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
 
The residual value for a lease with only 10,000 miles per year would be 1% higher.

Car Man...
 
Looking at either the 2013 S4 or S5 (Leaning toward S4 for practicality but S5 is dream car).
 
Dealership is offering:
 
MSRP $59100 on S5 (with discount).
$4000 cash to start, 15KPY, OAC
35 payments $806.31, 41 payments $788.47 residuals 58% and 54% resp.
$5000 cash to start, 15KPY, OAC
35 payments $776.34, 41 paymets $762.42 residuals remain the same
  
 MSRP $55200 on S4
$4000 cash to start, 15KPY, OAC
35 payments $735.39, 41 payments $717.90 residuals 57% and 53% resp.
$5000 cash to start, 15 KPY, OAC
35 payments $690.88, 41 payments $692.20 residuals remain the same.
 
ALL PAYMENTS INCLUDE SALES TAX.
 
I had asked for the money factor, they did not provide.... Looking at comparable dealerships (BMW, Mercedes, etc) their lease rates seem REALLY high. Without the money down I can drive away in a new C350 (loaded) coupe for a much lesser payment...
 
Regardless, my questions are:
1. Would it be enough money to consider a 12k lease program (I have two other new vehicles I can drive to help keep miles down) to get the payment down and then suck the fees up at the end?
2. Is this a fair price they're offering - or with 4k down is it feasible (on the S4) to get the payment under $700?
 
Thanks in advance!

Hi xtreems. In my opinion, the S4 and S5 are great cars, but not great deals. The high-performance variants of VW and Audi products always seem to cost way too much to me.
 
I personally would never lease something with a lower mileage allowance than I thought I needed. In the grand scheme of things, particularly on a vehicle that's $700 per month, the difference in price between 12,000 and 15,000 miles per year is not worth the aggravation of having to avoid driving your vehicle to keep the mileage down or having to pay a tremendous excess mileage fee at lease-end.
 
$4,000 to $5,000 is way too much money to pay at lease signing. I always advise consumers to put as little money down as possible when leasing. Consumers who make large down payments on leases risk losing part or all of the money that they laid out if their vehicle is totaled in an accident or stolen and never recovered.
 
While you have these cars' MSRPs, it would be much easier to evaluate these deals if you had their selling prices. The selling prices of leased vehicles are negotiable, just as if you were paying cash for or financing them. Without the selling prices it is much tougher to determine how large a dealer discount you are being given and in turn if there's any room let to negotiate.
 
Let us know what the selling prices are and we'll tell you what we think.

Thanks again for the information Car_Man.
 
Here's the deal I got in case anyone is interested:
 
MSRP: $61,920
Selling Price: $57,990 (6% Audi Supplier Discount, + Free Audi Care)
Residual: 58% (57% + 1% for AudiCare)
MoneyFactor: 0.00050 (I put down 7 Security deposits to lower the money factor)
Monthly Payment: $719 (With all fees rolled in)
 
I put $0 down, and the dealer took care of the first month's payment, so all I had to pay out of pocket were my security deposits, which should come back to me at the end of the term.
 
Hope this helps someone out there!

Dorkulo,
 
What s the maximum number of security deposits Audi allow for lease and how much reduction in money factor will each deposit provide? I have done security deposit with Lexus lease before but didn't know Audi allow that as well..

Here's the info on MSDs,
 
AFS offers reduced Rent Charge Factors when more than one security deposit is collected on the same contract.
Reduce the rent charge factor .00008 for each additional security deposit. Collect up to nine additional deposits over the initial required security deposit for a maximum of 10 total security deposits.
 
You also can't reduce the money factor below 0.0005. I believe I was only able to max out at 7 or 8 security deposits. Definitely worth it though...ended up saving ~$100 a month,

#118 of 158 2013 S5 Cab Residual and money factor by hoalawyer

Dec 07, 2012 (11:55 am)

I am looking to lease (36 months, 36k total miles) an Audi 2013 S5 cabriolet, premium plus, with nav, 19” wheels, B&O Sound and advanced key. Do you know the December money factor (top tier credit) and residual? A local dealer gave me 47% and .0008. While I like the .0008, I think the 47% is wrong.

Was wondering if you had the Dec 2012 residual value and money factor?
 
I have an MSRP $58,770 with sale price offer of $55,735 in southern california.
