• Should I buy my Q5 when lease ends?

  Written by: felixny on Feb 23, 2012 10:22:14 AM

  I would like to get your thoughts on purchasing a Q5 at the end of a lease. My 2009 Premium Plus Quatro 3.2 Audi's lease ends next month, and I have the option to buy it or turn/trade it in. Apparently it maintained its value at 33,600 miles and is very well kept. I could pay the balance off and keep the car as it's been a great car. My hesitation ... Read More

  I recently put a down-payment on a factory-order new 2010 Q5 Premium with only the Audi music interface and no other options. I bought it from Austin for $37,175 plus $125 dealer documentary fee plus $2,527 tax and license, for a total of $39,827. Cash deal, no trade-in. This dealer was fairly easy to deal with. We did everything by fax and e-mail until it was time to pay the down-payment. ... Read More

  Hey Carman, Below is the advertised lease offer on a premium plus Q5. Tried to back out the numbers and with 0.00108 MF and 51% residual it looks like audi took $1250 off MSRP of $42,225. I will need to do 12K miles instead of 10K so I took residual down to 50% and the payment is about 12 dollars higher. How much better you think we can do here? Thanks ... Read More

  You're welcome, womble. It's tough to generalize about when the best time to lease is. We are rapidly approaching the end of the 2009 model year. Vehicles' residual values gradually fall as the model year progresses. Manufacturers usually offset this drop in residuals by lowering the money factor that they charge on vehicles. However, it eventually gets to the point that it is too expensive to offer an attractive lease payment ... Read More

  Looking for some buying advice in Florida. This is for a Q5 Prestige, with no additional options. Dealer is offering only $1,000 of MRSP, or $48,500 plus dealer fees. According to True Cars this doesn't seem like a great deal. Inventory seems low currently as they phase out the 2009 for the coming 2010 in the next few months. Any advice?

  Try this link Lease Calculator Dealers' lease calculations are usually off by a few dollars than the result you will get from lease calculators, but at worst, the difference will be $5-10 a month and certainly not the enormous difference your dealer is telling you now.
