You need to post on the Edmunds forum and ask for this car in your zip, not just look at what others post.

And they didn’t have the RV or incentive information?
Not the one that Ive looked at. I posted a new request just now.
Ask the dealer about tax credit, on top of other things mentioned above
Just as a comparison point for discounts:
I somehow doubt the MF is six decimals
That MF is insane… Even FCA and Kia dealers won’t do that…
Might have remember it wrong. The newest number from Edmunds: .00225 and 55%
,$7000 dealer marketing allowance, for lease or purchase

any idea how to negotiate? or should I try another dealer?
I’d walk away from this dealer, and then spend some time doing a good bit more research before reaching out to another dealer. You want to know exactly what the vehicle should lease before talking to a dealer.

If I am not mistaken Audi offers 0% financing for 72 months on 2019 cars. If the $7k rebate applies while using the 0% financing then you are better off financing it if you are dead set on getting the A5 Sportback. If any German sport sedan would do (technically the A5 Sportback is a liftback but I digress) then you can find better lease value in the BMW 3 series or Mercedes C class…

Taking that $7k into account, the dealer is only giving you a discount of $2540. That is a measly 5% off MSRP on a 2019 model. Even for an Audi, that is awful.
Find another dealer and make them an offer. I would aim for between 12 - 15% off MSRP before the $7k market allowance, with buy rate MF. Also find out if a dealer is able give a tax credit. If you plan to pull the trigger within the next couple of weeks, then let dealers know you will sign ASAP if the deal meets the above requirements I have proposed.
Good luck.

Run away from 2019 Audis, the MF is jacked up beyond Porsche levels and the residuals are rock bottom you’ll need at least +20% off MSRP in dealer contribution to score something worth posting on here.
Finance if you’re dead set on a 2019 Audi otherwise wait for summer sales on 2020s.

E trons are the exception, but their residual kills anything without a decent dealer discount.

I know this isn’t apples to apples, but for comparison my S5 65K MSRP is $200 lower a month and was also 0 drive off. Don’t even entertain this deal.

- ask for tax credit
- find a loner and ask for 18% off before allowance
- add audi care (it improves RV and cost is residual’ed)
- if you are tier + credit, ask for buy rate MF
If you fail to capture aforementioned item, you are leaving money on the table - No bueno … if you continue to struggle, step down and hire broker. There are couple of decent ones here from Texas ( my home state).
Audi loaners loose incentives. Ya gonna need more than 18%.
Tax is 6.25% no matter what the zip code is. Message me. I have a friend at Audi store. You should be $100 less.

Thank you everyone for the advice! I ended up purchasing a Mercedes instead of leasing the A5 since they have better deals.
