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?
