Hard to tell without the breakdown of dealer discount, incentives, blah blah. But given the info provided, it definitely seems high on a dated, glorified Golf.
I would always recommend reaching out to several dealers via email. If they don’t want to give you the info needed, try some others out.
If there’s $3500 in lease cash it’s probably safe to assume the dealer is not discounting the car much. Judging by those numbers. Could be part of their hesitation to break down the deal. It may reveal minimal dealer discount.
You’re getting about a 10% discount at buy rate if your drive off is ~$1800… This is pretty fair for any Germany luxury brand. You could push for 11.5%, but for a similar or lower monthly, I would highly recommend looking at an A4- more space, better interior, and roughly the same engine. In fact, you could even look at a lightly optioned S4.
Agreed. Historically, S4s have leased better than S3s.
Depends on how aggressive the dealer is on discount and what the money factor and residual are. If the S4 has higher residual and lower money factor then it could still yield the better lease even if the lease cash is less. Gotta look at all the numbers.
No, you can’t judge a deal on just 1 factor. A8s have a ton of lease cash, but they don’t lease well. You need to get a breakdown with all the required info to evaluate. People don’t ask for the information in every thread just for fun.
Find another dealer. I would not want to do business with a dealership that is not been transparent. Take your money somewhere else.
I would aim for at least 10% off MSRP.
Worse case, dealer will say no to your offer.
Don’t hold your breadth on that. Audicare does increase the residual by 1%.
I hear you but no Audi dealer is going to “throw” that in for free. I paid for it on my 2018 A4 lease.
Btw, Audi does not normally discount their cars as much as BMWs.
