2012 Audi Lease Rates – February 2012

There is no change to Audi numbers this month. If you haven’t noticed the pattern, it seems lease rates change every other month in most cases. There have been a few times where numbers either changed monthly or bi-monthly, but it’s been monthly every other month. Expect lease rates to change in March.

I don’t have any recommendations for Audi’s this month because they just don’t look very attractive. Without any incentives, you are looking at anywhere from 0% off MSRP to about 3%, depending on the model. If you factor in the lukewarm lease numbers, you pretty much get a below average lease. Alternatively, there are decent 60-month financing rates available for select models, such as 1.9% for the A3.


Here is a sample calculation based on TrueCar’s Southern California sale price and do not include local taxes. Please note that your dealer calculations may vary due to local fees/taxes.

2012 AUDI A3 2.0T QUATTRO PREMIUM AT
MSRP – $31,725
Sale Price – $29,802 ($1000 loyalty cash applied)
Monthly – $411+ tax
RWG Rating – 80.7

  1. Audi dealer contacted me directly wanting me to sell back the A4 I purchased from them in ’09. It has been a great car. However, it makes sense for us to lease now since wife owns a business and warranty is running out on current Audi. I owe just over $18K on our A4; dealer offered to buy it for $21K if i took out a 36 month lease on a new 2012 A4 with premium plus package. I have an 810 credit rating but they offered me a money factor of .00145 and a residual at 56%. So, to summarize: Sale Price $39,675, 0 Cash out of pocket, just trade in my car, 36 mo with12k per year miles, payment comes to 551.03 including tax. I don’t see this as a good deal, am i right? But they don’t seem to want to budge. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    • @Roy. Not enough info from the dealer to make an educated decision if you ask me. You need the MSRP and how much in fees you will be paying. But, I am 110% sure you getting ripped off in this deal. There’s $750 in lease cash for returning Audi owners, you have $3000 on your trade-in and you are still paying $551? Doesn’t sound right to me. Sure, the Audi lease rates are pretty average, but you should still be able to get the car for around high-$400s or low $500s with all fees rolled in. If you can get the MSRP and give me your sales tax %, I can give you a sample calculation on the ballpark you should expect.

  2. G, you’re the best. I’m actually talking to a different dealer because the one above was not treating me well. Here’s the new lease consideration:

    2012 Audi A4 Prestige Plus w/Nav
    MSRP: $42575
    Cap Cost: $40560
    Base pay: $496.94
    With Tax: $537.94
    Total First $3749.00 minus $750 loyalty, drive off is $2999.00 (trade in amount $2999.00)
    Money Factor 36 months 0.00098
    residual 36 months 12K = 54%
    Sales tax = 7.975

    I sooo appreciate your help. I guessing i need to get the dealer fees? This still doesn’t seem great to me.

    Thanks,

    • @RR. Glad to be of service. I think the deal is legitimate (that doesn’t mean its good). What I mean by this is that the dealer doesn’t seem to be hiding any surprise fees. It looks like you are paying about $1650 in fees and putting about $2100 towards cap reduction. That’s a lot of money wasted on cap reduction. Much rather use that money towards MSDs. Without your cash, this deal gets a RWG rating of 77. That’s pretty bad. I normally don’t lease anything below a 90 rating, but would consider no lower than 85. Unless there’s something that Audi has that no other brand can possibly give you, I don’t think I would get it.

  4. hi g,

    i am interested in leasing a 2012 AUDI A6 3.0L QUATTRO PREMIUM PLUS
    19 inch sports package. what should i expect on the money factor and residual value for 15 k miles. are there any incentives , dealer hold backs

    thanks much

    roy j

    • @royj. The premium and premium plus A6 have the same residual and money factor. Audis have no dealer holdback, which explains why their discounts are so little.
      As far as incentives go. That’s all listed on Edmunds.com’s incentive website. You can find that link at the top of this post.
