Deal Check - 2023 Audi S5 P+ Sportback

Up in NorCal.

Audi S5 P+ with S Sport, Black Optic, nav, Audi Sport Interior package.

Here is the deal w/ only first payment due at signing:

Generally there are just two things you can do

  1. Be very agnostic about make/model and choose one of the few that lease well.

  2. OTOH if you’ve fallen in love with a car and it doesn’t have good programs, then find the best loan APR and buy it.

There’s just no good reason to spend $35k leasing a car, any car, with a selling price of 66

Thank you for your thoughtful and helpful comment. What would you consider an ideal 3 year spend on a car of this price then?

I could throw out a random metric like 20-30% of selling price but what’s the point? When the pre-conditions for a good lease don’t exist then it’s all moot.

Deal is average. Nearly $1k/month for an S5 is pricey.

Buy a nice used one from a few years ago. The current gen S5 hasn’t changed much in a while.
