It took advantage of Audi’s lease specials and dealerships efforts to meet at a reasonable point. Down 2500 (excluding all fees, taxes, and first payment) against a ~66K prestige e-tron. In terms of the MSRP, yeah, that’s a different topic, but it’s hard to find the exact configuration these days.
MSRP: $66K
Purchase Price: $64.5K
After discounts, incentives, and $2500 down payment, the cap. cost reduction is ~12K
Residual Value: $42K (63%)
Lease term: 24 months
I tried to put as much accurate information as possible for the details in the calculator
Congrats. Be thankful this is only 24 months. Before you get your next car please do more research here or look at what the brokers have to offer. Would have saved you a bunch.
I did briefly look at it, but looking at the current lease deals, it’d take my monthly to ~900 or even higher range with a similar down on 24m. Yes, it is also very good car, but based on my research I thought it would be much higher cost.
Thanks! Brokers here are always very helpful (I communicated with couple for other cars before). I always recommend working with brokers to my friends. I know there are so many factors such as the configuration (readily available in the inventory), MF, and incentives. For the Audi, I compared some but did not see a better deal that could take this down to 650 levels for a similar configuration (from 700 excluding tax and downs). I wish! Perhaps if I searched even more I would be able to.
I think one of the major challenges is that, we have a budget, then go see what’s available, and the inventories do not have a configured car at that price range. Then you start adding up to monthly payment. I feel, it is just how the market is now.
Try not to shop your budget. Meaning start buy finding cars that are currently leasing well and then go from there. If you have to have a q4 you still want to try to get the best deal you can by doing some homework. The new car market has changed and a decent discount off of MSRP is definitely possible especially on an EV.
