    Jaydon, I just got my 2011 A5 lease yesterday. I really think I got the best price possible. I got this in Southern California (I went to four places and played them off against each other as all of you should do) The problem with this car is that although it is 2011 and they are clearing them out for the 2012 it is a hot car and they are only ...

    I'm in the market for to lease an A5. I went into a dealership yesterday and this is what was offered. The car was approximately $40,200 MSRP and included Blue Tooth/Home Link, Ipod, heated seats and Audi Care. The deal was for 39 months, 10,000 miles per year, $510 per month, and $3000 down. This price includes my Audi Loyalty discount. I am currently turing in an already paid off 2008 ... Read More

    Yes I did pull the trigger (the car is at the port of San Diego - being moved within the week). I have to return my 2008 Audi TT 2.0 (red/black, loaded, excellent condition) in 2 days, residual was $25K. I tried to negotiate some extra $$ for taking this A5 deal, but they wouldn't budge. CPO value shows $32K on the TT but the margin is too low for the ... Read More

    Hi jsk1020. I've never heard anything about Audi having any sort of special program for recent college graduates. I would be happy to use Audi Financial Services' current lease program to work up a sample lease payment on the exact car that you're interested in for you. Just provide me with its full MSRP and approximate selling price, or its MSRP and invoice price and I'll crunch some numbers. You can ... Read More

    Goldendragon, Audi reliability has continued to improve over the years and is at an acceptable level per consumer reports for most of their vehicles now. While it is not up to the same level of Toyota Motor Co (Toyota and Lexus) or Honda Motor Co. (Honda and Acura) it is still quite good. Nissan/Infiniti does not rate as high as these other two. I had the same concern prior to buying ... Read More

    Thanks for the post on the 2008 models. Do you have any information on Audi's lease program for the 2009 model Audi S5, 15,000 miles, 39 months? I imagine the residuals will be better, the money factor likely the same as the July 2008 rates for the 2008 models.

Starting July 8th, Audi Financial Services' buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 24 month lease of a 2008 A5 with 15,000 miles per year are .00279 and 59%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical 36 month lease are .00279 and 51%. The numbers for the S5 are .00279 / 62% for 24 months and .00279 / 54% for ... Read More

    I just put in an order for the 2009 a5. Don't have any pricing information but it seemed like when I was looking at the 2008 a5 when it first came out, the leases were pretty bad and didn't get much better. I expect the same for the 2009 a5. My dealer made seem like audi has no incentive to give great deals in A5 because the demand will be there ... Read More

    Hi shivan. Audi may not introduce lease support on it. It's always difficult to predict what automakers will do with their future lease programs. I have not seen Audi's new May lease program yet, but its April buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2008 A5 with 15,000 miles per year are .00236 and 53%, respectively.

    Hi shivan. What westdriver was told you is correct. Audi is not currently providing lease support on the A5 or S5 and I personally don't expect it to introduce any support on either of them in the near future.

    I hear that Audi is coming out in March with residualizing the A5. I'm trying to work with dealers on a lease for a new 2008 with $2500 down, 15K miles a year for 36 months and I'm finding Lease prices all over the place.

    Hi bozster. Audi did publish a lease program for the A5 in February. You never mentioned how long you want to lease this car for or what mileage allowance you need, so for now I will assume that you are interested in a 36 month lease with 15,000 miles per year. Let me know if you want something different. Audi Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value ... Read More

    Hi ando818. It is difficult to say how much it will cost to lease a new Audi A5 at this point. Audi has not published a lease program for it because it has not begun to arrive at dealers yet. I suspect that Audi will not offer much, if any, lease support on the A5 when it finally begins to arrive. Audi is not currently providing any lease support on the ... Read More

    Generally speaking if CR says something I think the opposite is true. Audi's recent rise in CR's evaluation is certain to spell doom for the product. My C6 A6 has been, IMO, flawless, and I WOULD highly recommend it. I would CHECK RATE IT, in fact. The very fact that CR does too, means the product is nearly totally crap. I have had 28 Audis, each one better than the previous. ... Read More
