Would need more info to know for sure, but at 37k, 10k mi and 42 mo that sounds "fair". Mine was right around there payment wise (premium as well, so higher residual compared to prem+, prestige, or S3) and I was at 36 mo. Due at signing for you is just your first months payment it looks like, never put more money down on a lease, so already you are at a good starting point.

I will play Devil's advocate and say that I got my A3 to be a stripped down A3 that with mods will compete with an S3 (stock) Because I dont feel the 9k is worth the extras for the S3. And since you are leasing, the residuals are going to make a huge difference in payments.

Modding a lease is done more frequently than I initially realized. My dealer takes in modded leases all the time. Not saying all dealers will, but when I asked my dealer they said bolt-ons, wheels, tint, even chips were not frowned upon. Most people sell off mods on purchased cars before they unload it anyway, so for me its a mute point, but that's me. Id rather be the underdog in the A3 than a cop out in an S3. Doing more with less is more satisfying but I can definitely see the appeal in an S3, obviously.

If you have any other questions on lease offers for an Audi, PM me. I built an excel table when I was shopping for mine that helps save time figuring out whats a deal and what is not. I would anticipate a 6-7% off MSRP on sale price, and at any given time, $500-$1500 in incentives on the table. Be sure all of that is being included before you decide on payment.
