Total downpayment including everything for me - $6k
Lease - 7500 Miles per year | 24 months
Monthly payment: $350 per month post tax total
Residual - 63%
Rate - 0.00248
You might want to put a calculator together so people can help you better by knowing the discount off of MSRP and the incentives offered. I think most people here will tell you to reduce the amount of money you’re putting down.
A little off topic but as an Audi dealer, do you have any information about the Audi EV Ride and Drive incentive ($1000)? I’m in the northeast and dealers don’t seem to know about it. Is it an email code? Thanks
I would not put $6000 down
Especially on a 2 year lease with a 7500 mile cap
The etron is also very inefficient and is being phased out
However. You definatly are better off leasing because these have a terrible resale value.
Because if you total the car, that money is gone. Only pay taxes and acquisition fees, what’s called “drives.”
If you want to lower your payment and don’t mind putting cash out to do so, do MSDs to lower your overall cost by lowering interest rate (bc unlike down payment, you’ll get that money back), and just stick that money in a high yield savings account and use it to pay a portion of your payment for the next 36 months, or the entire payment for however long the money lasts. Better than giving it to Audi.
each security deposit would be one monthly payment rounded. and you get a slight decrease in the MF for every security deposit you put in upto max allowed. so instead of putting down 6k, you might as well do max MSD, which would reduce your MF, effectively reducing your total lease cost.
