Hey everyone, i’m currently between getting an a5 premium plus or s5 premium plus. I’m open to either finance for 72 months or lease for 36-42 months. I see that everyone usually get 10-15% off msrp, but i wanted to see what’s everyone’s opinion on this.

Just wondering out of lack of information, if the msrp for the a5 is $52k and the s5 is $63k, what would a good deal would look like if i was to finance for 72 months or lease for 36?

Every opinion is much appreciated! Thanks

It is practically impossible for us to tell you what a “good” monthly payment is for your specific lease as lease programs are highly dependent on region, personal qualifications, tax rates, etc.

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 (Blog | LEASEHACKR) to understand how to calculate a lease payment and the variables. Monthly payment is an output, not an input!!
  2. Pick a specific vehicle that you want to target
  3. Gather the current MF, RV and incentives from 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, 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.

I doubt you are going to get 10% off MSRP on a 2021 S5 P+. Where you are seeing 15% off MSRP on a 2021 A5?

Have you done a search in the “Marketplace” for broker deals or the “Shared Deals” section to see what some LH members have gotten on 36 month lease? If not, I would start there.

Whether you are leasing or financing, your main focus should be on the pre-incentive discount. Then, make sure you also figure out what lease and finance incentives you qualify for. Some of this info might be available on Audi’s website.

And are you sure this is happening in FL (you tagged FL)? Most likely in the NE… as mentioned above, search the marketplace and you may want to expand your search outside FL. GLWT

10-15% Off an S5 is not going to happen any time soon. On an A5, maybe 10% is possible.

Like some have said it depends what kind of options you’re looking at. I’m in the market for an s5 with black optics package and dealer conversations I’ve had with Reddit Audi peeps say come in at 7-8% and take 5%. Some dealers are selling for MSRP.

You can tell how much an auto maker needs to move product- and there are ZERO manufacturer incentives on S5’s right now.

On most Audi models, I would say 10%-12% is a great deal. Anything close to 15% is not realistic unless you start working for the dealer full time.

Check the marketplace to see what brokers are offering. You will be able to find bigger discounts on a coupe than a sportback too.
