Lease Turn-In Context
I owe $1,823 on my current Q4 e-tron lease — it’s being rolled into this new lease.
Audi is waiving the final 3 payments via the Lease Pull-Ahead Program.
Leasehackr Calculator Note
I tried recreating this deal in the Leasehackr Calculator using:
$4,000 DAS
MF 0.00111
7% off MSRP
$10,000 incentives
But I couldn’t get it to calculate to $705/mo with tax — likely due to how cap reduction tax or fees are being applied. Would appreciate help troubleshooting!
Dealer Maintenance Perk
Dealer is including Audi Care-style maintenance at no cost, covering:
Minor Service at 10K/20K miles: brake check, inspection, battery diagnostics, tire wear/tread, multipoint, etc.
Standard Service at 20K/40K miles: adds inspections for coolant, chassis corrosion, axles, brakes, doors, lighting, and more.
This service is typically a ~$1,000+ add-on and is being included free of charge.
Looking for Feedback On:
Is this a strong deal for a Q6 e-tron Premium Plus in today’s market?
Is the 7% discount + $10K incentive competitive for a newly launched model?
Worth upgrading from my $951/mo Q4 e-tron lease?
Any wiggle room left in the deal (e.g. MSDs, discount, structure)?
It is pretty clear that you have negative equity. At the end of the day, it’s your money. If I were in your shoes, I would revisit getting a new car when you have 3 months remaining on your lease.
One thing I was looking at was the following wrt to the new payment amount times remaining months left on lease vs. existing monthly:
Existing payment:
$951x 7: $6,657
New payment:
$705 x 7: $4,935
Delta:
$1,772
Quoted amount from dealer that would carry over into new lease cap cost after LPA:
$1,823
Negative equity:
$101

Not sure if this is the right way to think about it, but it seemed to me that the negative cost of getting a new car now would be -$101. In this situation I would be paying less now for a better car in a way. Let me know if you think otherwise or have feedback on this methodology.
Yeah, $951 looks rough now—but this was during peak battery shortage. I got the Premium Plus w/ black optic and still managed to beat a few dealer quotes. Timing wasn’t great, but I did what I could with the market then
Yes, but that delta and negative equity math you are doing is not correct. Drive 4 more months then find a better Audi deal to do the 3 month pull ahead. Or move to a different brand.
