2019 Audi A4 Premium Plus decked out VS 2019 Merc C300 coupe

Ive read mixed things about Mercedes leasing better or worse than Audi, so far its worse, but it looks to be the MF and maybe some extra $$$ off the MSRP should do it, just not sure how to get there. I’d favor getting the Mercedes as it would be the ultimate deal to pull off around no more than $600/mo as I’ve seen previous 2018’s go for on here. Just need some input to keep myself from being unrealistic. Both are similarly priced

AUDI
MSRP - $53,040
Audi “Discount” - 6000+750 for loyalty
Sale Price (cap cost) - $46,290 (~13% off)
MF - .0004 (0.96%)
Residual - 51%
$1000 Down
No MSD’s
Doc Fee - $800
Acq Fee - $895
FL Sales Tax - 6.2%
Lic/ Reg ~ $400 (or so)
36/10k Lease Terms

Their quote monthly payment $656 is with $1000 down though i’d like to put $0 down.
Given my buddy works at Audi I’d say 13% off MSRP is a good disc, however I still feel like there more I can squeeze out of them. The MF seems low but from what I gather its right for Audi, though something seems off. Hope to shave another 3-4k off somewhere.

MERCEDES
MSRP - $50,835
Auto Nation “Savings” - 3050
Sale Price (cap cost) - $47,785 (~6% off)
MF - .00137 (3.3%)
Residual - 58%
$0 Down
No MSD’s
Doc/Acq Fee - $950
FL Sales Tax - 6.2%
Lic/ Reg ~ $400 (or so)
36/10k Lease Terms

Their quote of $808/Mo is astronomical… Pushing them towards the 10% disc threshold I think is doable but the MF needs to come down maybe from MSD’s. Definitely a mix of MSRP disc, MF reduction, and MSD’s. From one brand of car to the next its amazing how similar priced car leases can look so different.

Both are definitely doable under or around $600, no?

Helped a couple ppl with Audis in NY. Did a $50k A4 for $554/month $554 DAS. 36/12 this was back in December

Did a Q5 yesterday $51,5 MSRP, $514/month, 2100 das. 39/10 (another dealer came back with 499/month same das but deal was already sealed)

Both had very big discounts. Again this was in NY so idk about down there

Horrible deals… like you said, you need bigger discount off MSRP and max MSD, figure out what buyrate MF is from edmunds forums

Fleet for MB if you have it

Agreed, think 550 is doable…No other notable discounts really apply for me unfortunately. So ill have work with negotiating a this point. Either of you use third party lease companies or prefer to deal directly with the dealer?
