On the 2019 A5, the sport seats and S-Line trim features are now standard. So you may actually save money by waiting till 2019. I placed my order last month, anticipating December delivery.
True but for 2018, navigation and convienece package are standard on Premium models shipped after June.
Oh I was not aware. Thanks
Very helpful information. Thank you!
Thanks, Ivan. How are Q5s doing in October? Any chance the residuals will go up on Prestige trims to match the P+?
Curious on this too. @IvanAudi, any indications on rates / pricing for the Q5s? I see some listed at $459 on the website with MSRP in the $45k-55k range. Any possibility these could get down to the $3XX neighborhood?

I won’t imagine the Q5 every leasing in the $300 with just drive offs. Realistically for a pretty well equipped one will be in the low $500 including tax.
Thanks - I was only expecting $399 in the best case anyway 
I am not too familiar with the Audi trims. What is “pretty well equipped” for you? Is it realistic to expect that I can get a 52K MSRP Q5 for 440 pre-tax with everything rolled in and zero due at signing and perhaps Audicare? I can put some MSDs if there’s such thing with Audi. Lexus in the household.
Any updates on when the remedy for A6 airbag will happen?
Any changes on the 2018 Q7 ? Looking at the 2.0T
You mentioned December would be a good time to try and lease an S5?? This still hold true? Been wanting to lease one for a while but like you mentioned the terms have been terrible.
Any advice other than waiting until next year?
I doubt even December will be a good time. The prices are still insane
S4, S5 S5 SB will not lease well any more…
Does a Friends and Family certificate at $300 over invoice beat a typical dealer discounted deal ?

It depends on which model you are talking about. Discounts vary.
SQ5 ?
Dealer discounting at around $5,000.
Would the F&F certificate help bring that even more ?
Does the dealer get money for using the F&F cert on the back end ?

what is considered a normal lease for the s5 sportback premium plus with $64 MSRP? That’s been the car in my eyes for a year now and my RS400 is due back in 5 months. I know Audi’s especially S cars don’t lease well, but just curious what they go for? 2-3k drive off is fine but I will definitely need 15k/year. An auto broker quoted me $780 with 2k drive off but didn’t specify if it was 10k or 12k miles.
How about q5?
I got 10% off + $2250 rebate. You think there is more room to negotiate?
