I’m relatively new to the leasing game and leased a 2018 Audi A5 Coupe in December of 2017. I’m looking to lease another vehicle soon and believe they may have made an error on my lease paperwork, which I am just realizing now. Do I have any recourse or is it now too late? I have the specifics of the lease detailed below.

2018 Audi A5 Coupe
36 Months with 12,000 miles per year
MSRP: $52,810 (including $975 destination)
Sale Price: $47,529 (including $975 destination)
Customer Cash: $2,500
Dealer Incentives: $2,500
Document Fees: $250
License/registration: $33.50
Residual: 56%
Money Factor: 0.00096
Tax Rate: 6.75%

When I input all of this info into the [Lease Calculator](http://leasehackr.com/calculator?make=Audi&msrp=51835&sales_price=46554&months=36&mf=.00096&dp=1428&doc_fee=250&acq_fee=975&taxed_inc=2500&untaxed_inc=0&rebate=0&resP=56&reg_fee=33.50&sales_tax=6.75&memo=2018 Audi A5 Coupe&monthlyTax_radio=true&miles=12000&msd=0) I get an expected payment of $507. In reality the payment came out to $527.54 (actually paying $540 but that was after I added the maintenance plan).

I have emails from the dealership confirming the 56% residual and 0.00096 MF as well as all of the pricing. I’m not sure if I’m inputing something incorrectly in the calculator or if the dealership messed something up. Regardless, do I have any options at this point or is it essentially a $720 life lesson ($20 x 36 months). TIA

I am not even going to search but most likely it is calculator input. Also, there is tax on rebates?

Honestly, I wasn’t sure if it was a taxed incentive, untaxed incentive, or rebate. I tried putting it in various sections but didn’t find it made much difference; maybe this is where the issue is? Specifically there was $1500 Customer Acquisition (previous BMW owner) and $1000 Bonus Cash

I agree and bet it’s a mistake on your calculation, but it doesn’t matter because you can’t do anything about the contract now.

Post your actual contract with your name blocked out and people can validate it here.

Highly doubt their calculations are wrong; contract errors are usually due to incorrect inputs.
