Audi Care question

Ask the Hackrs
1

Hey everyone - I just leased an A3 Etron Premium this weekend and am confused about Audi Care. I was charged for two optional products, one was Audi Care for $699 and the other was the “Service Contract” for $859.

What is the difference between Audi Care and the Service Contract? Did I need both?

I noticed that one of these products raised the residual from 52% to 53%

Here are the rest of the deal details:

White exterior
Black leather
Sports package
Heated seats
Aluminum roof rails
Homelink
Stainless Steel Pedal caps
Audi Guard All-Weather Floor Mats
Sunroof, etc.
MSRP - 42670
Sale Price before rebates - 38126 (about 11% off)
Rebates - 4502 federal, 500 conquest, 500 for current BMW lessee (5502 total)
MF .00060
Residual - 52% (53% with extra warranty)
10k/36mo
2391 drive off including registration, first month, acquisition fee, etc.
Payment is 350.
Leasehackr Score = 11

With Audi Care and Service Contract the monthly is $379.99. I understand that Audi Care will be prorated when the lease ends, which should get me about $279 back or so.

Once the extra $1500 CA EV rebate kicks in, the effective monthly payment is $338.32

Well the Audi care is for your services up to 50k miles or 5 years, the Service contract would be anything from a warranty to a wear and tare, I would ask your sales person or the finance manager who did your deal. the Audi care raised your residual since it give you 1% towards the service

Thanks Jonathan - I’m just confused about whether or not they overlap and why there are two optional warranty packages. I’ll take your advice and check with the sales rep.

of the two definitely keep Audi Care, best bang for your buck.

The “service contract” covers things like wheel alignment, break pads, shoes, etc. Things that I’m not sure I’ll need on a 30k mile lease… I’m going to have to ask them for a list in writing of what exactly is covered.

just get it removed and ask for refund

After noticing that the provider of this warranty per the lease is “Audi Term Protection,” I’m pretty sure what I bought for $859 is this: https://www.audiusa.com/content/dam/audiusa/myAudi/Finance/VSP-Term-Protection-CPO-Brochure.pdf

Not much there that I expect to use on a 3yr 30k lease. Maybe I’ll replace the wiper blades…

Yes, I’ll cancel.

Thanks, everyone!
