I have four payments remaining on my 2014 Q50. I am seriously considering a new Audi S5. Audi’s MF on an S5 right now is atrocious at .00180. Since I do have time to pull the trigger, does anyone have any recommendations or insight. Does Audi ever offer better terms and/or incentives?
Thanks in advance!
Audi rarely offers anything good from what I have seen thus far and they lease horribly.
yes, don’t lease one 
Yes they offered some great deals on leftover A6. I guess you can get deals on older models not on those that are newly redesigned or the S line …
Audi salesmen will tell you that A4s don’t lease well because it’s a limited production car. They’ll say this with a straight face while you laugh.
This was my experience a number of years ago and from what I understand, little has changed.
And they need to get some of $30 bil back 
It hasn’t changed. They like to tell you there is no reason to be aggressive because the cars sell themselves and sound shocked when you tell them $677/month for 36/10 on an A4 is a terrible offer.
I went into a dealer her in SoCal on Saturday and got them to give me a 10% discount or so on a 51k A4 with a manual and sport + pkg. They then pull out the paperwork and marked the .00012 money factor up to .00159 (which is the most Audi will allow them to mark it up, apparently) because they were "giving me such a good deal.) This was for a 2017.
best advice is to not lease one unless you are OK with paying a ridiculous amount a month for one. The S5 is good for a purchase compared to it competitors but does not make sense to lease.
@Jonathan When an Audi salesperson says this, there is nothing else to say about the brand’s leasing strategy. 
I was (seriously) quoted $1200/month, $5k down for 36 months on a new RS3 = $48,200 in payments this week. The MSRP of the car was $62k I think. I asked the salesperson if he was serious, he told me that the RS3 is “like a Ferrari, nobody can get their hands on it, it’s so rare” and that I’d be paying for the privilege to drive such a luxurious car.
RS3 res is like 45-49 and MF is .00196 I believe (which gets marked up 9 times out of 10) Audi wants customers to buy the TTRS and RS3.
@Jonathan yeah, they refused to tell me res or MF for the car even when I asked and just kept stating how I should buy it and how rare it is and how it’s basically a supercar 
it is a very fun car. if you can afford it on a purchase it is definitely worth it. I would not classify it as a super car tho.
I know, I’m sure it is…but it’s funny that I walked in with a car with 2x the MSRP of the RS3, that’s the same speed (Mercedes ML63 AMG) and the salesperson was trying to “trick” me into thinking the RS3 was a supercar… that lease was insane though!
