Well unless you are friends and fmaily with a VW Group of America employee (10% no more no less plus rebates), are a member of an audi affinity group (Audi of America Partner, Audi car club, etc), (Are you a penfed member there are incentives for that too), none of this matters except customer credit (Finance, cash, or lease).

If you have further questions I’m happy to help. I’ve read too many Audi and Porsche programs page by page.

This sounds like a great deal if you can find someone who works fo VW group of America right?
Once let’s say I add this program discount. Can I still adjust price and ask for more discounts on the car? Really looking to get Audi A6 P+ MRSP 64.500 somewhere around 650/ Month

What are you setting that price target based on?

8

I guess based on what I’m willing to pay for it. I’m new to this brother so just my imagination work here I guess

Lol, does Bethesda have pricing on their site? The other Audi dealers in the area have their inventory marked up significantly.

There’s no way you’re getting an A6 for $650 unless you’re putting thousands down

Am I misremembering or do PenFed vehicle rebates no longer count for non-military accounts?

I would recommend you set your pricing targets based on what is actually doable and then adjust your vehicle targets based on your budget. You’re never going to be successful in making up a pricing target you like and trying to shoehorn in a vehicle just because.

We always recommend the following method before you ever contact a dealership. If you do all of the work up front, you’ll have a stress free dealer experience and set yourself for success.

  1. Read Leasing 101 (EDITORIAL | LEASEHACKR) to understand how to calculate a lease payment and the variables. Monthly payment is an output, not an input!! While you’re at it, be sure to watch the LH video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjgvLxqcLfA) to brush up on how to most efficiently use the resources here.
  2. Pick a specific vehicle that you want to target
  3. Gather the current MF, RV and incentives from the LH Calculator - Lease Program Query or Edmunds forums for your zip code
  4. Research the LH marketplace and other deals that have been made recently on your vehicle - what was their pre-incentive discount? How did their lease terms differ?
  5. Plug your numbers into the LH calculator (CALCULATOR | LEASEHACKR), and use a pre-incentive discount similar to what you have seen
  6. Create a target deal, this is what you’re trying to negotiate to. You can try different terms, selling price discount, etc. and see how your monthly payment is affected. It is also possible that different trims of your vehicle may have different MF and RV (i.e. this is very common with GM), so make sure that you look into that. Come up with a set of inputs that give you the output that you want - your desired monthly payment.

With a target price determined, you now have a deal to pursue and compare dealer offers against. More importantly, you have a solid foundation to work from.

You’re going to be wasting a lot of time trying to imagine what you can get for your money.

Most cars do not lease well. They do not have the programs (RV, MF and incentives) to be good candidates for lease-hacking, regardless of what dealer discount you can negotiate. This is truer now than it has ever been. Which means you cannot start your search with a particular car or cars in mind, and then find a way to make them lease well.

It will be like pushing a boulder uphill while pulling teeth, and you’ll still probably have a bad deal in the end. You need to start your search by filtering only the vehicles that are leasing well right now and offer good value per dollar.

Check out the “Share a Deal” and “Marketplace” sections of LH forums to decide what’s leasing well and pick a vehicle that is already proven to offer good value.

Remember, there are no magic wands that can save a deal from poor programs (RV, MF, and incentives) and/or poor discounts.
