This is really good! I wouldn’t have paid for audicare upfront because it residualizes so the dealer made about $500 on you there.

If I paid it upfront they said the residual goes up a point? When you say AudiCare residualizes what do you mean by that, ive never hear of that?

When you add audicare to your lease the residual is bumped up by 1%. So if you have a 50% residual and audicare is 1k, you only pay ~$500 for the term of your lease, not 1k.

I almost had a stroke reading that money factor, but good thing your calculator has the right number lol. Buy rate MF I believe is 0.00080, so only a small mark up from what you got

This is simply not true. Go into your calculator and apply 10 MSD’s and see for yourself

There was definitely some room for improvement ($0 down, Audi care situation as mentioned by Muwa, MSD’s, MF, etc.). But it’s an OK deal overall considering that ridiculous $1200 registration and tax thing for your state.

Paying for AudiCare upfront or rolling it into the payment, the RV is still bumped up by 1%.

sucks that we have to pay the dam VA sales tax, still a pretty good deal for 15k, congrats!

This is a good deal but can be even sweeter if the dealer lets you use MSD. I just leased my S4 and applied max MSD and saved another $70 a month. The dealer is just lying to you if they say that your getting the best deal already. My MF after the MSDs were .00015

I think you did well considering there are no incentives being applied.

Your calculator doesn’t seem to match your details. Is the $1k down a cap cost reduction in addition to the fees you paid? As others have said, it sounds like your dealer was just being lazy, you could have applied MSDs.

Sure looks like the down payment is a cap reduction. $752 per month all in on $62k msrp doesn’t get me too excited. Amazing suv though, enjoy.

1k on lease on any Q5 or Sq5 for rebate. They are just hiding it somewhere. I work tor Audi so I know.

What was your actual price you put down? Your taxes and fees. Seems like you got a good deal.

You got 11 percent off plus 1k in incentive. Anyone who leases get this for month of June. Dealers may not disclose this but our dealer does.

You’re right there was a $1000 rebate I forgot to include on the price reduction part. And the down payment wasn’t a capital adjustment it went straight off the bottom line.

Unless that’s something different?

Well the reason why I asked how much down you can roll in taxes and fees. Yes 1k rebate is virtually cash off so that’s a discount or money down depending how one sees it.

I advise not to put 3 to 4 or even more grand down as God forbid the vehicle gets totaled you will be out any money down virtually down. It will be a wash.

Thanks for all the help everyone, Ill be sure to take this all into account the next lease!

Never mentioned this but I signed this. I should have pushed for MSD’s after they told me they couldn’t. But all in all I’ll take these lessons into account the next lease… 3 years from now.
