I was originally looking for the Audi A5 but ended up getting a solid deal on the S5 so just bought it.

Audi S5 Prestige FULLY loaded

**MSRP: $ 68,865
**Selling Price: $61,325
**Monthly Payment: $799 (paying $984 with tax and maintenance + wear&tear package for $80/month)
**Cash Due at Signing: $3000 (including first month, DMV, $1000 down)

**Months: 36
**Annual Mileage: 12,000
**MF: 0.00194
**Residual: 57%

**Region: CA

Regardless of whether this is a “good deal” according to lease experts, I think I got a solid deal as a non-expert

Why does F-type R money being paid for an audi belong on LH?

It does not belong. But just because it’s a very nice car - the price doesn’t matter for some :slightly_smiling_face:

You are paying $80 a month for a maintenance package? Yikes. Wouldn’t it be just cheaper to pay for maintenance out of pocket when it is due?

Not on the S5. If it’s Audi Care, that tends to pay for itself in the first 45k miles. I would have done the same with an Audi.

OP did alright considering all the add-ons. S5s never leased well, it was always better to finance.

Though I did see on the Audi forums a dealer was actively getting RS5s to folks at 999 a month with just drive offs. Mind you, drive offs we’re close to 8k…

Can you cancel the maintenance and wear and tear? I do not think there is any way you are going to have $3000 worth of maintenance and wear and tear in 3 years unless you are going to use this as a rally car.

Nice car. But you definitely didn’t get a “solid” deal. Pretty terrible honestly.

But if you can afford a 1k car payment then I’m sure getting a good deal isn’t a worry lol

maintenance and wear/tear

this is my first luxury car lease, didn’t want any surprised at the end

I wanted a small sedan with power and Audi is ahead of BMW/Benz with tech

I was also considering 440 but having the S5 is amazing

I would love to see someone post a better deal than this, its easy to sit at home and talk about 1% but with Audi S line, they dont really fit that model

Bilious,

The wear and tear covers dents/scratches/etc

I commute from South Bay to San Francisco about 3-4 times a week so I needed added protection

Also keep in mind I am 22 years old with not a large credit history so I am Tier 2 for credit approval which added $25 a month

14

with some additional packages and 9% tax + $25 extra because of my credit (low history)

Ill take it!!

15

What do you do that at 22 you can afford to rent a car for $36k over 3 years or do you have a sponsor lol

Good-looking car though

Work for my family business, my dad is paying $350 per month of the $984 payment

17

You should blackout the rims and windows.

I’m sure this car will help you with all the Instagram models in LA. Enjoy!

In the Bay Area plenty of new grads in SWE make 140K cash, double it with equity on top

Wouldn’t it be cheaper if he would have bought it?

62k / 72 months =$847. Add in interest, tax etc…

Probably pretty close
