2011 Audi Lease Rates – January 2011

Published 2011/01/282011/01/28 by G

I’m still digging the A3 this month, although the payments will probably run a bit higher now since the residual value has dropped by 1% and the MF has gone from 0.00016 to 0.00018. Another issue is that Audis do not enjoy very big discounts compared to MB, Infiniti or Acura. As a result, the payments here will probably run a bit higher than comparable models. Granted, there aren’t many cars out there that compare to Audi’s A3, there will be a lot more that will give the A4, A5 and even the Q5, a run for their money. Overall, I starting to feel like Audi’s lease programs stink. Let us hope they throw some cash out there in the coming months.

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.

2011 Audi A3 S-tronic Frontrak Premium
MSRP – $29,625
Sale Price – $27,220
Monthly – $327+ tax
RWG Rating – 89.95

2011 Audi Lease Rates – December 2010

Published 2010/12/072010/12/07 by G

My Take: Like BMW, Audi has carried over November’s lease rates into December. This bodes well for us since last month’s numbers were actually pretty good for most models. I think the A3s lease best right now since they enjoy very low money factors and one of the highest residuals in the entire Audi line up. Last month, LeaseCompare (the sponsor of all my Audi posts) was providing fleet discounts ranging from $1000 to $2000 on select models. I don’t see why they wouldn’t do this again this month, so be sure to inquire about that if you opt to lease through LeaseCompare instead of your local dealer.

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?
