Hey guys, first of all I’m new the forum and still learning so I apologize if I’m missing some details here but I just wanted to get some initial feedback
**MSRP: $68,490
**Monthly Payment: $772 (tax included)
**Cash Due at Signing: $2000
**MSD: $8000
I’m really hoping to keep the same down payment but reduce the monthly payment to $750. If I’m able to do that can anyone tell me if this would be a good deal. Again, apologize in advance for missing some information here.
Yea, I figured someone would bring that up and I’ve seen that RV is much better for Prem +, but it’s exactly what you said, the drivers assist is really what’s pulling me towards the prestige.
Had a friend ask me to help him with a Q7 Prestige but convinced him to get a P+ instead bc of the better RV and incentives. Not sure about SQ5, but the Q7 P+ has the option to add in the Driver Assistance package.
Are you absolutely positive you can’t get an SQ5 P+ with driver assistance?
Afraid not, I had a dealer out here tell me that they don’t have the drivers assistance package on P+ for SQ5. Just went on their site to build it just to double check and I see that it’s possible on the Q7 but not available for the SQ5
At this point the Prestige is only a 1% RV difference, not a big deal, so if the stuff on the Prestige is important to you go for it. Couple of comments-
You need to share the full lease sheet with us, this is not enough info. What is the sales price?
39/12 has a 2 point residual drop and a higher MF vs 36/12. There’s no benefit there that I can see this month other than stretching the payment.
Add Audi Care into the deal, it bumps your residual up 1 point
There is $1,500 in Audi cash on the SQ5 so the question will be how deep is the dealer discounting for you. Anything less than 15% at this point is not worth doing imo.
That’s actually a pretty decent discount given on an SQ5 Prestive. Looks to be about 12 percent, I think. Not sure if you can ask for more and if they’d agree to it, it’s already double digit discount.
The cash down makes this monthly look better than it really is, though. Can you take some of that cash down and buy audicare to improve the RV? It may benefit you in the long run.
I think before you go back to the dealer let’s get your numbers straight. Go to Edmunds and confirm what your local MF and residuals are for 36/12 and 39/12. I can’t figure out how the MF is .00108 (assuming after MSDs) vs the base rate I’m seeing there.
Also what is included in that $2k drive off? I don’t see the doc fee in there. Is the bank fee being rolled in to the lease? As Stinger said, we will also take the cap cost money out to see the true cost.
Discount I think 14% is realistic. @mikem I had $3,750 in incentives when I leased mine with season of Audi and loyalty so my total was 17% but the dealer discount was in that 11%-12% range.
just wanted to circle back and share what I closed with them. I don’t have all the information because I need to dig up my documents from the car so I’ll do that later, but basically these are estimates:
2018 Audi SQ5 Prestige
Down payment: $1.1k
MSD: $6.9k
36 mo/12k miles
Audi care included
$770/month
The offer I mentioned earlier had a $2k down payment so it was a no brainer for me to up the monthly payments by $5, have audi care included and cut the down payment by almost half. Could I have done even better…maybe, but I just want to thank you all for your input. Really gave me some peace of mind and I absolutely love the car
