$21k one-pay + $6500 tax (MD is brutal) = $27,500 TOTAL out the door.
Not like the unicorn deals I’ve heard about from last year, but all things considered it seemed fair!
I’ll try to upload the contract and do a calculator to match.
did you get “new” car inventives? $12500 National Credit + $7500 EV lease cash + $10000 dealer cash + $2000 Costco? $6500 MD tax is brutal.
No, I didn’t. It’s essentially priced like a used vehicle but with the higher allowable RV and a knowledgeable dealer, it works out.
I was planning to just buy a preowned 21/22 Taycan 4S or 22-24 Audi etron GT. I realized both are depreciating at least $10-15k/year and likely more post warranty period.
With no great way to repair the HV battery modules (that I know of) and the reality that a complete HV battery replacement would cost $40-70k…leasing made a lot more sense for me. And I’ll get the model up…RS!
Ended in January. So Dec/Jan was the sweet spot on the 24s if you could locate the inventory.
Was looking to find a replacement for my 1 pay Project 513/2. I had a deal for 14% pre-incentive discount + $20000 incentives in Dec and Jan on a new $165k RS with Ceramic brakes. (Audi was so unclear that the additional $2500 incentives they listed were not for “special” lease rates. The dealer also wouldn’t offer the CA subverted MF=0.00021 (0.00051). So the deal fell apart over $2500.
Decided to do lease extension and then see if there’s something else compelling that comes along.
Was it thru AFS? What was the RV and MF? Information on pre-owned AFS leases is scant.
One of my previous long time Audi sales guys said that they can’t really negotiate their pre-owned and that the MF was ridiculously high.
A Taycan that’s fairly priced at $65-70k today cannot lose $30k in the next two years.
You know what’s more brutal?
That tax will become $6900-$7400 starting July 1.
I’m not convinced that’s true. Will let you make that bet!
I might be looking for a free Hornet in 2027! D’oh!
Yes via AFS. RV was like $108k. Adjusted Cap $500 more. MF = .00422 approx. I uploaded the contract to LH.
I would think about just holding out to see if incentives get better on the 25s.
