Deal Check - I’m looking to lease an Audi Q6 EV - Premium Plus in NJ
MSRP = $75,155 with a sales price of $67,639, and then a $7,500 incentive
Money Factor = .001
Residual of 51% or $38,329
NJ Sales tax of 6.625%
About $3,300 in fees for Dealer, acquisition, government fees
Initial offer is at $3k down (includes first month) and $795 / month (all in including taxes) with a leasehckr score of 7.7 years.
What’s the best way to get to a better deal, MSRP down? Residual up? Reduction in fees? A little of everything? What type of score should i be looking to get to 9 or 10 years? Are you ever better off to just go through Costco Auto and use their pre-negotiated rates?
Residual is not negotiable. Make sure that you are getting a buy rate money factor. You could maybe squeeze a slightly bigger discount but the only real way to make this better is to stack additional incentives - $7500 isn’t that much. You might have better luck with a 2025 Q8e.
This is surprising! We have sign and drives (taxes and everything, all-in + no first payment) as low as $523 for a premium and $649 for a premium plus. Based on 7,500 miles and FL taxes.
I don’t have all the figures because the deal hit the point where it didn’t matter. I am at $659 for 36 months with 12,000 miles per year. $2000 total out of pocket at signing. Premium Plus Quattro with a $75,155 MSRP. I’m going to pick it up this morning at a dealer outside of Chicago. I was told Audi put some more lease money on these this month.
I was able to close at $3,000 down, 36 months at $590/month in NJ which includes the sales tax and all. 10,000 miles per year. Comes in at a LeaseHackr score of 10 years. Feels like a good time to buy before end of September.
The final deal landed at this value. A few of the final variables i’m less certain of as the depreciation was a little higher and rent charge a little lower then what’s in the calc. I’ll try to get the final deal uploaded in the deals forum.
