Was not in the market for one but thought I’d give it a try and see if I can get a decent deal on this.
This is the starting point of where I have reached with a dealer and I know they are holding back but I wanted to better understand realistically what levers can be pulled and what I can do to get a stronger result
This deal is being worked on in Texas and includes Tax credits and MF marked up to 0.00214, need to
remove cash down as well. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Have you tried searching the “Shared Deals” section for other E-tron deals? Have you confirmed on Edmunds what incentives you qualify for? Do you have loyalty? You need to separate out the incentives from the dealer discount.
At the MINIMUM, you should be getting at least 10% off MSRP before any Audi incentives.
Yup, I know the deal is not great but figured its a starting place and inventory is extremely limited.
In terms of incentives, they mentioned it included 7,500 of BEV tax credit, and dealer discount of 5,638 which leaves 8,250 difference but I doub’t they are giving all the dealer marketing allowance? So maybe its more like 7,500 of lease cash, 7,500 BEV tax credit and 6,388 of additional discount. Based on edmunds there is (8,250 of dealer marketing allowance and 7,500 lease cash)
Did you confirm that info by posting your zip code, since incentives might differ from location to location?
That is making this a “not so great” deal even worse.
You need to do more research (as I suggested) and make an offer to the dealer. I would ask for 12% off MRSP + all incentives + base MF with the tax credit.
Run the numbers in the LH calculator before presenting the offer. If you are serious and ready to sign, tell the dealer you will come down ASAP if they agree to your numbers.
Thanks, the 12% is what I was looking for, to better understand realistically what the bottom line a dealer would be willing to discount these. Appreciate the help
Definitely present them the deal you are looking for- 12% pre-incentive discount, then full Audi Lease Cash and dealer marketing allowance. Buy rate MD and max MSDs. See if there are any additional Retail Closing Coupons available- 2 mores until month end.
Apologies if this has been asked a million times. I am considering leasing an Audi but my credit score just dropped from 770 to 690. My wife has 815 credit score, if she were to co-sign, which credit score would Audi use? I want to make sure I get the tier 1 benefit. The reason I do not want to put my wife as primary is because the Penfed lease incentive is under my name and not hers.
Yeah I’d just put her the lease, does this mystery audi lease have tax credits? Because if it doesn’t you might want to look at a different car. How much incentive are you giving up?
With further details, I suggest you push the dealer to get a Tier 1 approval with you on it, these Etrons are boat anchors so a call from the finance guy might get it done.
