Where is this happening?
There have been a ton of deals posted on the forums and some dealers have posted loaners on the marketplace tab. You just gotta look around
Almost none of the loaners are close to being fully loaded. Fully loaded 3 series (not M) run over $60k now.
Guess thatâs my bad but Iâve seen a lot of 50k-55k 3 series that went for good monthlyâs in the 300s. Well-optioned 3 series* then if weâre going to be that concerned about wording
The reality is that there are no luxury sedans available that get you to $400 for 15k miles now.
Best I have seen for a Premium Plus with 0 down, everything enrolled, 15k a year was $594. The car had a $49,800 MSRP. Other dealers will try to get you at $650-730.
Any way you look at it, Audiâs donât lease well. Itâs so frustrating
Agreed. I find the entire âentry levelâ luxury car market frustrating. The base engines in a lot of models (i.e., the 320i, Q50, etc.) generate HP levels that are far below cheaper models of ânon-luxuryâ brands. If you want the extra performance, the MSRP ticks up quickly. If not, youâre essentially overpaying for whatâs under the hood just so you can show off the brand.
OP, if cost is your primary concern, Iâd check out the TLX. MSRP starts at $33,000, and there seem to be decent lease incentives this month on the 2018âs.
Acura tlx prob your best bet or you could put in some work and get the 2018 audi A6 for ~$450-$500 requires 25% off MSRP before incentives
Do you think this will change at all for June?
Iâll check that out, thank you!
I think itâll change when dealers start dumping 2018 inventory, which wonât happen until september.
Alright, thanks for the assistance! Definitely going to keep my eye on a few dealers near me, one local had a pretty strong deal for the Alfa that I hope they will continue in June.
Agreed. I picked up a TI, which has lower residual, for $430 for 10k, but I kinda feel like I should have negotiated it further. For Base or Sport, which has a higher residual, $400 or close to it should be doable.
I saw someone post on another thread that he was getting a sport for $369 +tax and the same first month drive0ff
Yeah I am hoping the deals stick for June. Seems like people have been getting good deals lately on them. Did you put any money down or any MSDs?
Keep in mind, that payment doesnât include tax, tags, doc acquisition fee, etcâŚ
No tax where I am luckily, other items shouldnât impact it too hard.
Yet still worth it
Yes itâs worth it. Audi has the best looking cars on the road, in my opinion. But at some point, I can no longer rationalize a payment approaching $600 per month for a $50,000 A5.
Itâs a lot of money for a FWD biased 4 cylinder setup. Best interiors at that price point though. I used to have a 2015 Golf R in the UK which had a similar setup but that was 3/4 the price and with better performance. I think Audi USA have worked out they can charge a premium and still sell more than enough to normal buyers.
