Hi,
I am from Texas Austin,
The MSRP of the car I like is 55,515. Is the following Deal a reasonable one that i can provide to the dealer?
Monthly - 440
DAS - 1500
Trade In equity - 3000
Term - 36 months
Mileage - 12000/year.
Post a link to your best attempt at the LH calculator
The calculator link is here
seems like a really good deal to me 14% is higher than I’ve seen lately on any Q5
although your calculator says MSRP is 58.5k so not exactly sure if it is correct
Is it an acceptable deal to the dealer? Also the MSRP listed without any addons is 58.5K. This is a premium plus with the executive package.
I doubt any dealer is going to agree to 14% off MSRP. I believe brokers in the Marketplace are offering discounts ranging from 8 to 10% off MSRP. That should be your target.
No, it is not. You are being charged more than $1k in dealer add-ons. I would move onto another dealer, if I were in your shoes.
Have you looked at broker deals in your area?

This calculator is asking for over 14% off, yet is still higher than the numbers in your original post. Good luck getting that deal.

No.
efffective discount by the dealer is around 7%. I would work on this, and work on the add ons you are seeing. Nitrogen, tint, and door guards = 1200, that takes off over $20 a month alone. Also end of the month, you should shop to other dealer as well.
Contact @IAC … they broker Audi in TX. I’ve used them before.
You need to change your understanding of what can and cannot be leasehacked, and where.
You need to target vehicles that are better lease candidates. A better combination of the quadfecta
- Dealer discount
- RV
- Buyrate MF
- Rebates
In Texas you also need tax credits.

There’s also quite a few Audi Q5 data points on here to use as a guide as to what is realistic.

most dealers probably won’t agree on 14% off.
The best I got is 13%+ on my 45 premium, and the most I’ve seen around was 14%, but that was back in March and no major rebates like now, so another good reason to push them for a bigger discount.
You should target 9-11% as your expectation, unless you are looking for unicorns then 12%+ is the way to go but def takes effort and patient.

Your calculator has you asking for 14%, the dealer offer has them at <5%. You need to work out what an appropriate target discount actually is, and then when youre comfortable with that process, only apply it to vehicles with TX sales tax credits.

It’s 7.2%. $3,905 dealer discount on $54,240 MSRP
Its not a $3905 discount when there is $1200 in dealer padding added back on top.
Technically, it is: off MSRP. Plus add-ons, that lower that discount %.
Yah, lowers the discount down to a little less than 5%
