I’m in SoCal area, and we are looking at the Q5 Premium Plus with navigation and cargo mats. Comes out to $49,805
Year: [2018]
Make, Model, and Trim: [Audi Q5 Premium Plus]
Months/Annual Mileage: [36/12k]
Zip Code: [92264]
The dealer gave the msrp of $49805 with $1500 off making it $48305. We are trading in an old 2004 Honda Accord, they’re offering $1500 for it. At 115,033 miles and fair condition, that should be $2000 trade in, or sell it privately for 3000-3500. But I’d rather not go through the hassle of that. Also, from the above post, we’re clearing not getting a good deal yet. The dealer offered the following:
cost of car with discount($1500) and car trade in($1500) - $46805
doc fees - $80
Taxes - 4233.69
Non tax fees - 450.75
Total - $51569.44
36 months/12k miles
Lease payments - $449/mo with $10k down, or $542 with 7k down
This is already significantly higher than zippyzops deal that has more options. I should also mention that our car would be factory built as my girlfriend hates wood trim, but there are no models around with just the aluminum trim. Can cars we build be negotiated on, or does it need to be a car on the lot to work out a great deal?
We were prepared to put 10k down, this is our first time leasing a car, always just bought hondas or toyotas, but clearly theres no reason to put down so much. Any help/suggestions? We don’t need the car right now either, anytime by end of year, seems like November is a good time to lease a car?
$10k or $7k down is insane. Don’t do it. It’s a lease not a purchase. Take some time on here to learn about leasing. You don’t want to put anything or very little down.
Yeah learned that today from this site haha. From the calculator this is the minimum I’d settle for that seems reasonable, the RV and MF are from forums at edmunds. The down payment is just the $1500 trade in value of our old car. Then just pay the other fees upfront and thats it.
12k a year…looking to keep 3yr expense including insurance and gas under $30k. Gas at an average of 2.99 and insurance at 159/mo means lease cost would ideally be 22k. Id also rather privately sell the Honda as i could get at least $3k for it and use that towards payments, as it seems cash upfront is not beneficial at all.
@Sthall21 This is my lease deal. With your down, you can get pretty close to the monthly. In fact, I was quoted that with $2K down for $569 month, and that’s with fully loaded Premium Plus. MF is high and they wouldn’t do MSD.
Need advice on this quote:
2018 Premium with some add-ons
MSRP $50,235
Sales price $45805
Tax: $2862
Acquisition: $895
License registration fees: $342
36/12 monthly payment $665
Adjusted cap cost $49561
Do these numbers look correct? On the sheet it says CCR $1008. I told them I wanted to pay no down payment and only first month and DMV fees but they insisted there was no “down payment” and it was just first month plus DMV. Is that correct or am I missing something?
When people show up in 10 year old hondas to lease an Audi, dealers try to squeeze every penny since they know what an emotional purchase this represents from a status perspective. Hence the “10 k” down to “join the club of people who made it”.
The best deals on an Audi can be had by showing up in a brand new benz or Porsche. The dealer then knows that you are not a noob and know how to lease cars.
In conclusion run away from the dealer and find another one and keep the ahem “Honda” trade off the table until you negotiate a great deal on the lease.
I think the total opposite of this. When a salesperson sees someone in a new MB or Porsche, they salivate as they see a rich sucker who’s about to pay for their vacation.
Yes the tax (6.25%) is up front. MF .00174 and residual 61% for premium. Msrp was about 50k (I wanted the virtual cockpit and upgraded exterior color) and sales price was down to about 45.5k.
Here is the quote With Audi care
MSRP 50235
Sale price including Audi care 46674
Taxes 2863
DMV Fees 342
Acquisition fee 895
First payment 677
Gross cap cost 51451
Down payment (first month plus DMV fees) 1020
Adjusted cap cost 50431
Very proud to have just leased a brand new 2018 SQ5 Premium Plus with virtual cockpit, sport package and a few other add ons. It’s the first new car I’ve driven off a lot and leasehackr was incredibly helpful. I visited 8 dealers and walked out of 7 who wouldn’t work with our budget.
MSRP $63,900
Lease price $60,519
Terms 36 months, 45,000 miles
$11,000 due at signing (this is the total we paid yesterday when we leased the car and it includes the first payment)
Residual 64%
Audi Care additional $25/month
Lease protection additional $25/month
Major maintenance coverage additional $70/month
With all taxes, fees and including these three packages it came out to $695/month total. (So figure $575/month including all taxes + fees if we hadn’t added these three packages.)
Are you sure about that? Not sure many people on here would pay $11k upfront, especially with none of it being MSDs.
Are you sure the RV is 64% with 15k? That sounds really high, especially for an Audi. What is lease protection? Is that GAP? With your big CCR, you probably don’t need it. At least it sounds like you really love the car. Enjoy it.
