Long time lurker but first time attempting to hack a lease. I’ve been trying to use the calculator but just can’t get it to match up with the numbers provided by the dealership.
Roughly- if you put 5 MSDs down and got credit for all 5 (usually 1st one doesn’t count). But learning to use the LH calculator is what will make you truly understand how deals are structured and can make it easily to manipulate.
(listed selling price is different from 10% Innovators)
I signed a deal today and wasn’t able to use all my incentives- had to leave out Private Audi Loyalty Incentive and EV Ride and Drive since even at $44500 incentives, adjusted cap cost < RV. AFS wouldn’t fund the deal so I had to also leave out Audicare which is a no brainer for that 1% RV bump.
Dealer ended up having to cut a check after deal funds.
Nope- I posted a thread yesterday asking how to get around this. Even changing to 10k vs 7500 for 1% RV bump and adding AudiCare to keep it the same, the AudiFS system wouldn’t allow the deal to go through. Wanted to add other cancellable stuff like Audi Protection, etc, but they didn’t want to do that.
But despite trying get the ultimate stacked deal, I’m still very happy with the unicorn deal I signed. Details to follow. #CostcoAuto#PenFed
At first they said they don’t do any MSDs but in order for AFS to accept the lease, they allowed me to put down 4-5. I asked if I could do more and they said it would not be accepted in the AFS system.
Also, I’m not sure if there is anymore wiggle room to negotiate since even the smallest changes seem to affect if AFS will accept the lease or not.
Same deal I got pretty much got for my buddy, they have a few grand in them. But ya unless it’s prob end of month I don’t see more then 4-5 deeper then the 10 and rebates
