2011 Audi Lease Rates – November 2010

Published 2010/11/092010/11/09 by G

My Take: As expected, residuals have begun to decline in most cars this month, some more drastic (BMW), while others are a bit more subtle. Audi has dropped their residuals around 1%, which is more on the subtle side. That’s good news since their leases should remain about the same as last month. Here’s a scenario for you guys based on one of the cars on my Shopping List:

Audi A3 S-Tronic Frontrak Premium

MSRP: $32750
Sale: $32016
Monthly: $357, $392 with LA County tax (9.75%) and about $1500 due at signing to cover inception fees.

If I were to drop a few options like 18″ rims, cold weather and pano sunroof, I could probably drop this down to the low $300s. It’s true that the Premium model doesn’t come with the fancy LED lights, but it’s still the same car and it’s cheaper so no complaints here.

Should you choose to lease through LeaseCompare.com, you can take advantage of Fleet Incentives ranging from $500 to $2000 on select models. Not too shabby if you ask me, but be sure to do some comparison shopping before you sign on the dotted line to ensure the best deal.

2011 Audi Lease Rates – October 2010

Published 2010/10/122010/10/12 by G

Update: Very minor MF changes on the Audi rates. If you were using the previous numbers posted, you probably won’t noticed much of a difference since we are talking changes of 0.00001 on the MF.

My Take: Audi lease rates have carried over from last month. The A3 is the best lease in my opinion because the residual is strong and the money factor is very low. The other models could use a lower money factor in order to make them a little bit more enticing.

2011 Audi Lease Rates – September 2010

Published 2010/09/192010/09/19 by G

Update: Tarry of LeaseCompare.com has come through for us once more. He’s finally released the September Audi Lease rates so here’s the complete list. Audi residuals are not known to be high, but their money factors don’t look so bad in most cases. Not a bad month for Audis!

My Take: I am extremely bummed to see that no Audi lease rates were available last month. This month’s Audi numbers will probably remain sketchy as well since Tarry hasn’t provided me with complete Audi lease rates since July. Lease rates are hard to come by, so if you happen to come across any numbers please share them with the rest of us. Thanks!

2011 Audis look good so far, so no major complaints here. Remember to keep an eye out on the money factor and residual value. The best way to spot a potential good lease is to watch for a low mf (typically below 0.001) AND a high residual value (I prefer cars that have at least a 55% residual value over 36 months at 15k miles per year). Once you have determined that, hop over to TrueCar to see what kind of selling price this car is going for around your neck of the woods. Punch in the number into the lease calculator and that should give you a good idea as to how much it should costly per month.

2010 Audi Lease Rates – July 2010

Published 2010/07/122010/07/14 by G

logo_audi My Take: Some changes in the Audi lineup this month…The TDI A3s, for example, dropped in residual and went up on the money factor. Not exactly the direction you’d want them to go, but there is loyalty cash still available remaining 2010 A3s. 2011 will be arriving in the Fall, so it’s pretty safe to say that production is wrapping up. As for the rest of the Audi lineup, there are some drops in residual and money factor as well. Some models also got bumps on the MF as well, so pick and choose your car with caution. Check out the incentives page on Edmunds (link at the bottom of this post) to see which models have some lease cash available because with residuals like this, only rebates can make these leases half-decent. Overall, the 2010 model year is winding down, so you will start seeing residuals take a hit through the rest of the year. Use your best judgement when it comes to MFs. If you are looking at a ride that has a MF of 0.00012, chances are, it isn’t going to drop that much more. It may be wise to pull the trigger on it, specially if there are cash incentives available. Otherwise, you could be looking at a lower residual, possibly higher MF and no cash incentive. I would also like to add that “buying” should not be overlooked since there are some decent interest rates available right now (2.9% for 60 months isn’t half bad).

2010 Audi Lease Rates – June 2010

Published 2010/06/08 by G

logo_audi My Take: Audi lease rates remain unchanged from last month. That’s three straight months with the same numbers. This means one thing, you should probably expect July/August to be different. Better? Maybe for some models. Worse? Residual will probably drop. If you see models with ultra-low money factors, know one thing…They can’t possibly drop that much more. But there’s always the possibility of cash rebates. I know this doesn’t exactly help since it’s a guessing game, but if I knew how to predict the future, I wouldn’t exactly be blogging about auto lease rates now would I?

2010 Audi A6, S6, A8, R8 Lease Rates – April 2010

Published 2010/04/13 by G

logo_audi My Take: Notable leases…A6 3.0L quattro Premium (Plus), A6 3.2L Premium (Plus). Prestige isn’t really worth it. I would recommmed buying if you want all those bells and whistles. I mean, you will be paying for more than 50% of the car as is, why not just by the whole thing. Same goes for the A8. R8 leases are for those with really deep pockets, I’m not one of them.

2010 Audi A6, S6, A8, R8 Lease Rates – March 2010

Published 2010/03/152010/03/15 by G

logo_audi My Take: Hurray for super-low money factors! And that’s about it. Residuals leave a lot to be desired, but this shouldn’t come to you as a shock by now. Unless you are looking at a TDI model or the ever popular A4s, you probably won’t see residual going too far above 50% for the 36-month term. Earlier in the month, George Adams requested a quick estimate of what a R8 would cost to lease. Well George, don’t get too excited. Lets assume best case scenerio here…$123,600 MSRP, $115,179 invoice, .00255 MF, 35% Res (10k per year)….$2401 per month + tax. And I didn’t even add the inception fees yet. Your best bet? Go with a 3rd party lender like US Bank, Wells or use LeaseCompare to see if you can get more attractive rates because 0.00255 isn’t that hard to beat.
