Why $5000 DAS? Lease doesn’t make any sense, 72mo finance is cheaper. Unless the lease is at least $100 a month less than a purchase, I don’t think it makes sense. I assume there are tax credits, that being said, maybe it does make sense?! Effective $780/mo for an A4 seems pretty crazy
Why not 5000 DAS? The only reasoning I hear is “if you total it…” well, knock on wood, I havent in 30 something years, Ill take the risk. In my mind its rolled into the capital and actually subtracts some from the rent charge. Unless im wrong?
Also this deal has audi care added to it. So its probably more around 750 a month. Still high I guess.
Since youve probably dealt with the same dealers im working with I value your opinion moreso than the next guy… how would you rate this deal as is? Bear in mind im trading in a existing lease that needs atleast 2 new tires (IMO) and im basically at my mileage cap with a year left to go. So I feel like with those things in mind this is better than riding out the lease or returning the lease. But maybe that mindset is where my downfall is.
That program (RV, MF and incentive or lack thereof) is never going to yield a good lease.
Not every lease can be hacked. In fact most can’t.
In the good ol’ days I’d say move on to something with better programs. In the absence of that, finance a car you really like and commit to 4-5 years of ownership.
I am currently looking at a 2023 Audi A4 40 TFSI quatrro Premium Plus - MSRP $47,910. They are only taking $1230 off MSRP before the $2500 rebate. With $4500 cash due at signing, the MF is high right now. I am using the one in the LEASEHACKR calculator - dealer is quoting me $590/month for 36 months/12k miles. but when I enter those same details in HACKR calculator the monthly should be more like $539…not sure. I’ve noticed on here folks noting that they’ve gotten 10% off MSRP on an Audi…is that still possible. I don’t think my dealer will do that. Just curious what was your final deal. Thanks.
