Looking at leasing a 2025 Audi S5 and I see there is $2500 audi lease cash but you have to use an outside bank. Anyone have any recent luck with any outside banks? Anything that could work out advantageous? Or will it be the same as just taking the Subvented lease rate from Audi?
Can you screenshot what you’re looking at?
I went thru rate finder and didn’t see any $2500 incentive for using an outside bank. It’s rare to see an outside bank incentive with Audi however it could certainly happen I guess.
I read that as:
- if you finance or choose standard lease thru AFS you can claim that lease/purchase cash
- if you use an afs subvented lease rate you can’t claim that $2500
- if you bring your own money you can’t claim that $2500
I don’t think leasing thru CULA or US Bank accomplishes what you want
Weird, I didn’t see that in Ratefinder but I did see it when I did a web search. I concur with Jeisen that you either get $2500 off the S5 and use the non-subvented rate or do not get $2500 and use subvented rate.
Do not recall ever seeing a CULA or US Bank / Ally lease for an Audi.
You can use US Bank with Audi. We have them in direct lending. The problem is finding a sales manager that is willing to work with you. I have been with Audi 4 years now. I have only done 1 deal outside of AFS/WF Leasing rates.
US bank is used often, it typically only makes sense to use them on 1 or 2 models. For the past few months the Q7/Q8 and RS3 all made sense to use US Bank.
do used or CPO leases exist for Audi?
usbank, ally, cula balloon loans
yes and they suck - except for the older etron gt for a few quarters they were never good
