Absolutely agree - I don’t think we avoided one question about any specifics 
we are here to be transparent and willing to provide any information needed whether to buy a car from us or anyone else!

This is nuts. You want $4.5k down and then fees for a total of >$7k at signing

I almost convinced a friend to talk to you about a Q8, he was going for MX. But I think after this down, this doesn’t make sense. I mean I get it that you want to be competitive, but at this point, I’d rather get the iX, much better car

First of all, welcome to the forum. If I may, most brokers are advertising driveoffs at signing, which usually includes all fees + 1st month payment.
Most folks on this forum prefer to see $0 down payment on a lease.
If I could share some free advice - When I initially saw your post, seeing “$4500 Plus” sounded fishy. It is always better to be upfront with folks, especially Leasehackrs.

Bad first post.
Post your deals as total DAS like everybody else.
It’s bad enough that marketplace posts are at $4-5k DAS for so many cars, seeing posts with the old sneaky “down payment” language is even worse.

I’m going to echo this comment. Dealer isn’t very trustworthy… I have tried working with them before and they are deceptive.
After the multiple additional driveoffs/DAS, this doesn’t end up being that much of a deal. Much more helpful brokers are available in the area.

And $299/mo didn’t?

From my experience this Audi store has some very shady sales folks on their roster and they almost got me on a Q8, I am not surprised an inch at how they’re off to a bad start on here.
Proceed with caution if you decide to work with them.

My last experience with FJ Audi involved them offering me an E-Tron S at $25k over MSRP, and a Sales Manager who wouldn’t make me a trade in offer until he knew my payoff (somehow found it out and made an offer based on that number, giving me maybe $1k in equity) which was $20-22k less than market.
Hoping they have got with the times and maybe this is a turn around for them to begin being competitive, but proceed with caution.

@Jamieaudifj why do you ask for SSN before giving quotes?

wow that first post made quite an impression. Jamie time for you to make a rebound with some some detailed pricing on “real” deals.
Looks like this sales guy got a lot of free education with this post. Hope he learned LH community got more brain cells than him and why he is not getting any sales

What is the selling price/discount % before any rebates, what are the dealer doc fees and are you marking up the Money Factor rate?
That’s pretty much all you need to advertise here on Leasehackr really. The fine folks here can easily calculate and tell if it’s a good deal or not.
This forum is really not the place for the old model of pulling random levers on a lease deal to come up with deceptive monthly numbers to make the deal look good with a lower monthly payment.

You avoided answering this question until a competing dealer in SoCal who is a long-time member of this forum answered it for you.
I used to sell on here before going off the forum, and being evasive or burying stuff into the T&C/fine print is not going to get you good efforts out of spending time on this forum.
Then you get eviscerated by several community members on dealership practices and bad experiences. If you want to stay on this forum and make that fee worth it - you’ll have to put in some extra work to nullify other’s bad experiences.

Not really, since some brokers advertise low payments with low mileage terms.
I love those quotes
No one here advertises Q4 for $299/mo or do they?
