My current etron lease is ending on 5/31/2026. I got an offer from dealer for a used 2025 etron Q6 premium RWD with 3k miles
This is what I know so far, waiting for exact breakdowns to come back
Terms: 24 months @ 7500 miles with $1499 down plus drive offs = $699 plus tax
Original MSP: $69k
Selling price: $52k
Pull ahead: Remaining payments on my current lease is waived, so that would be ~$4000 waived.
I’m not sure how to fill out the calculator on this scenario, so looking for some opinions. My instinct tells me the deal is still below average, so I might take this and shop around.
Best practice is to figure out what a car should cost before engaging a dealer. You can ask 50 dealers for a lease price on the same vehicle and not get a single offer that’s worthy of signing.
You have to know exactly what you’re willing to pay based on what the market says the car is actually worth. Constructively, instinct is no substitute for research and math.
Looking at Edmunds, looks like there is a pull ahead program this month for 3 month of payments and also a 6k customer cash, but not sure if that applies for service loaners.
The selling price is at least 5k higher than around me for the similar cars.
Using the numbers from marketplace, looks like there may be some room to bring the numbers down. I’m still waiting on they to get back to me on their lease breakdown.
Just as mentioned above, I would put together a target deal based on the marketplace and other research and present it to dealers, not the other way around. If you are not a supporter, it’s worth the money to get access to rate findr and all their current programs/incentives.
take a look at some CA broker deals on demos: q6 leases are simply not good. Even the rare “new” ones only have $6000 incentives and the buy rate MF is pretty high. Since there’s not much incentive to move those few- you need to find a rare dealer that wants to play ball/pre-incentive discounts.
But with high MF, poor incentives- doesn’t make for a LH worthy type deal.
Demos usually have a pretty hefty MF as well. They don’t have the same $6000 incentive as new and how those separate programs are a great mystery. My previous Audi Sales guy has told me that demo/pre-owned AFS leases almost never make sense to do.
q6 eTrons have a ton of SW problems and Audi has lost it’s way with it’s interiors.
Are you sure that’s the vehicle you want for that pricing?
Ended up leasing a used 2025 Q7 Premium Plus 55 TSFI from your lead!
MSRP: $76k
Odometer: 9980
10k service already done
Terms: 36 months/7.5k miles
Effectively Monthly: $735 (included taxes, fees, Audi care, 1 month remaining lease payment of $1078)
DAS: $2900, include first month payment
Qualified for lease pull ahead, which waived my current lease’s remaining 3 months payments (3 x $1078 = $3234)
