Hi friends - curious what folks think of this deal in Northern California for a new 2023 Audi e-tron on a 36/10 lease. MF isn’t called out, but I think this is buy rate (which is 00282), or close. I’ve specified I only want to pay drives as my DAS (no additional customer cash). I think that would come out to $4200-4500, I believe a little high because some/all of the $17,500 in manufacturer incentives are taxed.
Thanks in advance!
The discount + rebates look solid. Did you plug this in to the calculator to see what your payments should look like without a down payment and using on DAS cash? You should also confirm with the dealership what your MF rate should be.
just reach out to @Samaudibh - he is setting up everyone in CA, and ship the car. The rest of us wish we could buy from him in other states.
The thing that keeps me from being able to replicate in the calculator easily is that they seem to be juicing it by tacking on a $499 executive shield (I think this is physical protection for the front of the car?), and the $1095 “PWC Maximum Shield,” which I think is some sort of package that’s essentially an insurance/warranty product. I don’t think I really want to pay for these, but I’m not sure if I have a choice. Together, they effectively drop a 10% discount down to an 8% discount. The last two Audis I’ve gotten, I got ~12% off MSRP on each. Not sure if that’s achievable here.
@Samaudibh told me the winter may be a better time, but I’m not sure these incentives are coming back at $17,500…
And unless I’m mistaken, he’s out of '23 e-trons.
sorry, did not realize.
All good - do you have thoughts on the deal proposal?
I saw a few posted on here that were 9k off without the $1500 in junk fees at the buy rate. I am not in your market to know if that deal is doable or not. I would check wiht any Ca Audi dealer/broker that posts here.
Your payment is $200 more than the calculator, you should double check your residual and mf.
I’m not sure what these are, I would personally skip these unless the dealership is paying for them OR if they raise your residual.
The math only changes by $50/mo versus your calculator, but Edmunds told me buy rate is .00284 this month on this car - at least in my region. I appreciate the assist w/ the calculator, though. I assume you simply added the junk fees to the purchase price to make the discount go to just below 8%?
$200 difference is coming from the money rate being marked up all the way to 10%. I was able to match the deal sheet in the following calculator. That markup will cost OP 7.5k over the lease duration.
Not enough to add $1,500 in blessings, rate marked up to 10% is that even allowed, what’s the max mf? But OP you can take this calc and make your offer, definitely not at buy rate no matter what region.
Very helpful - thank you. I’m not sure how I missed that.
This specific car apparently just sold, so I’m looking to see how I could best structure a deal on a car from a different dealership.
Just show other dealerships what you have and ask them to do better, with 0 down and w/o the junk fees.
A SoCal dealership is matching the discount, but they’re saying they have to add a $995 anti-theft device due to their proximity to the border… insane. Any strategies to have them declined, or am I stuck with these sorts of things?
Ask them to beat the competitor’s offer by $1000 so that will offset $995 anti-theft device fee.
He checked on the car I had the offer on and told me he knows it isn’t available anymore… a match may be the best I can do? 
10% Discount on this model is not impossible to get again. Make your firm offer and let them know if they do agree on the numbers, then you will sign the deal right away. Even if they deny it outright, but just wait a day or two, if they dont sell that car, then they will come back and accept your offer.
