Trying to structure a deal to get my wife an Etron Premium Plus black on black. I want to reach out to some dealers in the Bay Area to see if they can support this deal, but want to validate it with the community first to see if my numbers even make sense and where i should make adjustments before reaching out.
Thanks in advanced, we have never leased or financed a vehicle before but credit score is over 750.
Etron Premium Plus
MSRP $77,305
Sale Price: $69,143 (10.56% off MSRP)
Not saying you will have issues… but honestly don’t be surprised if you have some hurdles. Part of leasing is not only about the monthly payment and your credit score. It’s do you have the history to support the financial transaction - in this case, the lease of a $70+k asset. The credit score is only one factor. If you search LH, you will see that there have been multiple stories of folks with liquidity, scores, etc. but they still do not qualify for the lease in question. The first is always the hardest but once you cross that, it’s a lot easier. Glwt
A mortgage is one thing. An auto lease is another. In any case, it’s a moot point and OP is more than welcome to share his experience with all. Everyone’s situation is unique and this was just one POV based on LH posts. YMMV. No assumptions, or presumptions. As mentioned, GLWT
Yes, you can, but most of us don’t like to pay interest on taxes, dealer and DMV fees which is why driveoffs up front. With max MSDs, perhaps if effective MF is low enough.
The biggest issue you will face is probably lack of inventory. The aggressive dealers sold out of their Premium with Convenience Plus package and not many PP or Prestige in stock. Costco and the Audi incentives made the Q5e and eTrons move this month.
Reach out to @Audigirl and @AudiCarGirl4U if you are in northern CA. Historically, Audi Livermore has done some pretty solid deals if you make the right connection.
Thanks for the feedback I do see that inventory is moving quite quickly, although we don’t really need a car until summer, worried that if we wait it will be slim pickings.
It’s not off, here’s your calculator to the dollar. The original etron deals in California are $3800 DAS, ~$350 a month. Your deal is almost $200 more a month with similar DAS.
You’re looking for a pre-incentive discount in the ~10% or more range, 10 MSD’s and… $0-3800 in DAS. Looks like there have been a deal or two with zero DAS but seems to be fewer deals in the last week (maybe an inventory thing).
Might want to go the broker route or reach out to Audi dealers (many of both in the marketplace), since there’s not much time left till month-end.
Back of the napkin… it’s off by about $3k in pre-incentive discount.
And that’s with leaving the DAS as it is now, though there may be room for a lower DAS too.
