This forum is awesome! Thanks so much for all the info I was able to learn here. I am still a newbie (never leased a car before) and am having some issue finding the same deals, like the ones I see on here.
Can you guys please help me figure this one out?
Attached is the quote I got on the Q50 RS, but I am seeing so many other people here on the forum, got similar if not the same cars, for just around $400 - $450/mo, with almost nothing down. What am I doing wrong?
BTW, numbers on Edmunds I got are:
.00003
res - 48%
$6600 lease cash running this month.
Well for starters they are only offering $900 dealer discount, this lease cash is from the manufacturer not the dealer. They need to get a much deeper discount on that bad boy.
yes @my027012 is right. If the rebate is 6600 and youāre getting 7500 discount, that means the dealer is discounting the car less than 2%. Thatās a laughable discount for any car. It would prob take a 20% discount before rebate for you to be in the price range youāre targeting.
Also 48% RV on 10k miles seems very low, the deals you saw before prob had much higher RV.
Iām an ex-Q50 owner. I donāt understand the appeal of this car in this market. In 2015 sure. But today? No. Literally every other luxury sedan is superior. Look at the S4, there are decent deals to be found lately (although I think MF shot up this month so maybe wait for āSeason of Audiā next month).
And the residual has gotten do bad these arenāt even great lease deals lately.
You are going to hate the Q50 coming from an Audi. Absolutely hate it. Donāt be blinded by the 400hp. The car is so antiquated youāll regret it. I actually went from a Q50 to an A4 last month. World of difference (and last month there were smoking deals on the A4).
Just search q50 Red Sport here, and you can see how many of these guys got unicornsā¦
And for inventory, I am trying to compromise on color, and get the last 2018 in my area, as that is probably what they are trying to get rid off most.
Timing may be an issue, just surprised it is that much of a differenceā¦
I am coming from a 2013 C350. I know its not as good as a Merc or Audi, but I prefer investing money than spending $700-$800 a month for a car. So $450 would be reasonable and still not drive a Kia.
Do you even have VPP? If not youāre short $1500 right off the bat. Also RV dropped from last month. 48% is bad. Additionally, the idea that thereās only few left in your area doesnāt necessarily mean you get a better deal, quite the opposite, they might think theyāre sitting on gold because nobody else has one left
Not going the same mistake twice. I had repairs under warranty of +$11k on it. Especially that the new ones are even cheaper bult, I mean hey, look at the QX30 āMercedesā. The Q50 3.0 was only $30 cheaper, so thatās not and option.
That is what I am so shocked about. +$200 on monthly and not even a VPP. I am trying to understand if leasing in GA has anything to do with it? Tax and suchā¦
Thatās a good car, but I would like to stay with a 6cly, and +300hp. So than I would be looking at the S4, and that is about $800/mo.
And there are at least 5 threads of people here who have done what I am looking for, so patience is key I think
Thanks!
