Hi ildarad0. The numbers that you posted are correct. The exact amount of money that you save by pre-paying this lease will depend upon what its MSRP and selling price are. While it's a lot of money to lay out at one time, pre-paying a lease can be a good deal if you compare the savings on your payment with what you would earn on that money with the terrible interest rates that are out there right now. On a three-year CD you're probably going to only earn 1% to 1.5%. Chances are that you will make out better than that with the pre-paid lease.

Hi fansvodka. Since you are new to leasing, you definitely should check out the following informative articles on the subject that are available here at Edmunds.com: 10 Steps to Leasing a New Car and Calculate Your Own Lease Payment.
 
In short, the easiest way to get a good deal on a leased vehicle is to shop around for the lowest possible selling price and then have the dealer that you decide to go with calculate your vehicle's monthly payment using its buy rate lease money factor.

#91 of 156 Additional June Numbers for 2013 S5 by pcullen1

Jun 14, 2012 (6:14 pm)

Hey Car Man,
 
you already gave most of the numbers for this month but could you provide the residual and money factor for a 42 month lease at 12k and 15k and for 36 month 15k miles. 2013 premium plus.
 
Thanks.

I'm looking for the MF and residual for a 36 month/15k lease for a 2012 S5 Cabriolet Prestige and would appreciate your help. I'm also curious what I can expect off of MSRP or if there are any meaningful incentives out there. Lastly, does Audi offer the multiple security deposit program like BMW and some others? Believe it or not, you may be better off buying down your MF than keeping money in the bank these days. Thank you for your time and insight.

Sure pcullen1. Through July 5th, Audi Financial Services' buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2012 S5 Coupe Premium Plus with 15,000 miles per year are .00161 and 57%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
 
The numbers for an otherwise identical 42-month lease are .00181 and 53%.
 
If you were to lease with only 12,000 miles per year, these residual values would be 2% higher.

Very appropriate username s5_inquiry . Here's the information that you're inquiring about.
 
Through July 5th, Audi Financial Services' buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2012 S5 Cabriolet Prestige with 15,000 miles per year are .00086 and 51%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
 
The only cash incentive that I am aware of on leases of this car is $750 owner loyalty cash.
 
I personally am not intimately familiar with what the market is like for the S5 right now, but I doubt that there's a ton of them sitting out there on dealer lots. If the supply is indeed low, it might hamper your ability to negotiate.
 
The last time that I checked, Audi Financial Services did offer a multiple security deposit option, it provided a .00008 money factor reduction for each extra deposit paid, up to a maximum of nine additional. You're not kidding about being better off making MSDs than putting money in the bank. Interest is nearly nonexistent today, even on CDs.

Hi Car Man:
 
May I know the MF and Residual for 2013 S5 Premium Plus for 10K and 36 month with Audi Care?
 
And does the summer event apply to S5 as well?
Thanks
