Hey experts, please bear with me as I am very new to leasing… I’m just going to lay out all of the info that the dealer gave me so I don’t potentially miss anything that could be important.
I’ve seen some other e-tron posts with people getting a monthly payment below $800 so I’m not sure what I’m missing with my recent offer:
2019 e-tron with Premium Plus and Driver Assistance Plus Package
Location: Las Vegas
MSRP: $77360
Discount: $11604
Rebate: $7500
Adjusted Price: $58256
Documentary: $499
Tax: $630.57
Non Tax Fees: $924.25
Net Price: $60309.82
Audicare: $999
Polysteel: $999
Balance: $62307.82
MF: 0.00169
36mo/12000mi per year
Cash Down: $2000
RV: $37907 (49%)
Total monthly payment: $883/mo
Like I said, I’ve seen other posts with lower monthly payments so it seems that there should still be some wiggle room here?
I’m also a Costco member so that should be considered in the $11604 discount that I listed above.
Thanks for the offer, Sam, and sorry that we didn’t reach out. We didn’t think that we would be able to make it out to California anytime soon and we ended up getting a decent deal through one of the local dealers (I think).
Gross Capitalized Cost: $66,607.42
Total Capitalized Cost Reduction: $10,896.50
Net Capitalized Cost: $55,710.92
Total Rebates: $9,500
Cash Down: $3,000
Total Monthly Payment: $690.92 (10k mi/yr for 36mo).
I’m pretty happy with the monthly payment, although I would have liked to have gotten it at 12k mi/yr. At least this way if I stick to the miles, I’ll only be responsible for one service at 20k.
Did the cash down include the first month payment and tax/title/any other fees the dealer throws in there? That seems like a good deal to me. Good work!
Apparently dealers have to be “authorized” by Costco, but if they are, you’ll need to ask for the incentive to be included in the deal. One dealership that we went to was pending authorization or something so they weren’t willing to add it in, but another across town added it (I included it in with the $7500 EV rebate). We’re expecting to receive the $500 in Costco cash soon and need to follow up on it. That being said, I think we may have missed out on an additional $1500 factory incentive, that we should have pushed for…
We were intrigued by the EV technology, but also a little nervous mainly due to range, logistics related to charging, etc. We wanted an SUV and the Tesla X is out of our price range. My wife drives around 30-50mi a day so we figured it would be nice for her to use instead of gas and we probably won’t ever have to charge outside of our home if we plug it in at least every other night. We have a second, gas car that we can alternate using or use for long distance trips if we don’t want to stop somewhere for 30min.
I think the other thing to consider is the cost of getting a faster charger installed at home. We didn’t really put much thought into it until after the purchase. Audi has a partnership of sorts with Amazon to find a local electrician to install a 240V outlet. The price seems to range from $500 and up depending on how far away you want/need the plug from your breaker box. Using a standard 110V outlet takes about 3 days for a full charge. 240V takes about 13hrs, I believe. Luckily I know a couple of electricians, but most should consider a minimum of $500 as an additional drive-away cost…
