2009 Q5 Lease

by edwells on Sun Jul 05 08:56:32 PDT 2009

Los Angeles area lease under "Summer of Audi" program Brilliant Black w/ Cardamon Interior Premium Plus w/ MMI Nav (MSRP $45,325 includes $825 destination fee) $638 drive off (CA license fee, CA DMV electronic filing, CA tire fee) $678 mo (excluding tax) 36 month/10,000 miles Audi Care maintenance pkg $100 gift certificate for parts/accessories MSRP $45,325 Vehicle Capital cost $44,425 Gross Capital cost $45,835 (incremental cost over vehicle is maintenance plan, acquisition fee, document fee) TMV $42,733 Invoice $42,210 Residual increased by 2% with the Audi Care maintenance pkg $400 charge at end of lease if all scheduled maintenance has not been performed by an Audi dealer and stamped in the maintenance book $350 charge at end of lease to buy the car I've had previous leases for Toyota, Lexus, and BMW. Used a broker on all previous leases. Key Points Didn't know about the dealer quotes off Edmunds. Use them to start the negotiation process. If the dealer has a couple of cars (color etc) that meet what you want, take the lease info and leave the dealership. Study the info and you return later in the day or the next day. If you don't take the Audi Care pkg, does the $400 charge at end of lease for scheduled maintenance still apply. If you know of someone who has leased a vehicle recently, ask for a copy of their lease agreement so that you can see how the numbers come together. Key is to bring the capitalized cost down as low as possible through negotiation asking for free maintenance plan (the other offset to capitalized cost is your money down) Bottom Line Don't beat yourself up about the price you pay, learn from the experience. If the lease decision was all about price, you wouldn't be looking at an Audi.

Audi Tier 1 leasing question

by bethbarnes on Sat Jul 04 15:57:33 PDT 2009

Does anyone know the mythical credit score requirement for Tier 1 credit? I already picked up my car but am now starting to wonder if I was told I didn't make tier 1 just for them to add some money back onto a really good deal they were matching from another dealer. I am suspicious now because I was told 720, but then some people at that score in different forums were told 830 so I am wondering if they use that as leverage to add to the payment. I was tier 1 no problem with BMW and am just under 700.

2008 Q7 4.2 Premium

by kickazzz2000 on Sat Jul 04 12:26:57 PDT 2009

Just closed a deal on a 2008 Audi Q7 4.2 Premium. Car was sold as new, check bounced (sounds more like a repo to me), back on the lot to sell as used. I ordered an independent inspection and the car was pristine. 1555 mi Nav/Backup cam/Park Assist HID Lights Ipod adapter Panoramic Roof Adaptive Suspension Red/Blk Cricket interior List 46,900 Got it for 44250, they tried sticking a dealer processing fee of $689 and I threatened to walk away. Ended up compensting for the dealer fee in the price, so technically sold for 43500. I feel like I got a pretty good deal on a $70,000 car. Gives you an idea of how bad dealers are hurting out there. If you dont find what you want, wait it out!

That doesn't sound like a great deal at all. I just leased a 09 Q5 with a MSRP of 41650 ( a little less than yours) for 12k for $505.00 with $1500 down and Audi waived the first months payment as part of The Summer of Audi event. I didn't get the Premium plus with navigation but I am sure that feature can't be $200 more a month. It is an amazing vehicle but that price is way too high!
