Default Audi A4 Auto Lease Programs - January 2011

Audi Auto Lease Programs – Effective January 2011

The Audi lease programs below are what you can expect your Audi dealer to offer you through Audi Financial Services. Owner loyalty incentives are also shown.

This information is to help you evaluate different Audi lease offers from a dealer and LeaseCompare.com.

How to use this auto leasing information

1) Use the rates and residuals shown for each vehicle model, and the Lease Formula at the bottom of this page, to calculate the manufacturer (captive) lease payment.

2) Compare Vehicle Pricing and Bank Lease Payments by clicking on the model name.

3) Choose the best lease, Dealer or LeaseCompare.com, and start leasing your car!

Fleet incentives shown are deducted from your final purchase price if you lease through LeaseCompare.com. Both fleet and qualifying owner loyalty incentives may be deducted from your purchase price when leasing through LeaseCompare.com.

Visit us on FaceBook for more leasing information and discussions. Follow me on Twitter to be notified when lease programs are updated.

Remember, even if you negotiate your own deal with the dealer, you can still benefit from the fleet and loyalty incentives by leasing through LeaseCompare.com.

Residuals posted are for 15K miles/year. Add 2% to Residual for 12k mi/yr and 3% for 10k mi/yr on all terms. AFS acquisition fee is $625.

Lease Payment Calculation Formula:
(Cap Cost – Residual Value) / Term = Depreciation
(Cap Cost + Residual Value) X Base Rate = Interest
Depreciation + Interest = Base Monthly Payment

Terms Used in Lease Formula:
CAP COST = Vehicle Purchase Price (amount financed)
RESIDUAL VALUE = MSRP (window sticker) X Residual %
TERM = Length of Lease in Months (3 years = 36 months)
BASE RATE = Dealer’s Buy Rate (dealer can mark this up for profit)

NOTE: The manufacturer (captive) lease programs provided are for reference only. Base Rates may vary by region. Your dealer has the option of offering you a higher rate.

* INCENTIVES: Not everyone may qualify for the fleet incentive. Audi Loyalty Program available for current Audi owners. Texas residents may qualify for Sales Tax Credits. Contact LeaseCompare.com for details.

My question would be where do you hear that from? It's always interesting to hear people comment on the subject with little or no experience in working with hundreds of actual consumers.

Basically if you look at your driving history and you have always had a car payment, then you are a perfect leasing candidate.

I would be happy to respond to any leasing myths that you may have heard.

In the meantime check out a publication I wrote on the subject based on 20 years of working with consumers.

Leasing is generally a way for people to drive a car they can't otherwise afford. ...or if you can write off the car expense for a business purpose.

So you are saying that if you finance the same monthly payment amount of a lease it means you can afford it? That myth holds absolutely no water at all.

First off, if you can't afford it you are not going to be approved by the finance source. Monthly payment is monthly payment.

Having said that, it would be wise for most people to lease and take a lower payment for the same vehicle they would finance.

Leasing can provide more vehicle options that may fit within your budget because of a better resale value where as financing is based solely on the purchase price amount.

What would be the problem of leasing a BMW for the same monthly amount as financing a Taurus and having all your maintenance included?

Lease: You finance the depreciation.

Key is to Keep (not spend, invest!) the money you would put as down payment.

I've leased 8 cars in my life between my wife and I.

We don't lease anymore. Don't like the rates these days. Residual is not like it was a few years ago.

It makes sense in some situations for some people.

You get more car for the money but its a value judgement. Its not our got given right to drive a nice car and you have to make a value call as to one's priority.

Not sure there is a "right or wrong". Depends on many many factors.

Leasing is also a nice way to have a car that you're not sure about. I've leased two of my past three cars (08 Passat Wagon and the current A4 sedan), and in both instances the lease was structured so that I paid $0 down, and at the end of the lease term, I was exactly where I'd be if I had bought the car and made montly payments. i.e., I lease a car for 36 months, pay $385/month and the buyout is $15k. You buy a car, finance it for 60 months at $385/month, and after 36 months of making payments, you owe $15k. Neither of us loses money, but I keep the ability to walk away from the car when I'm done. IF I like it, I'll buy it out, sowhy not lease?

Case in point, my middle car in the last three was the 2010 Jetta TDI, which I bought and was a total and complete nightmare of a flaming POS. I wished I had leased that mexican piece of trash, but I bought it insted and then had to deal with selling it. If it had been a lease, I could have just put up with that garbage barge for another 20 months and pushed it back to VW at the end for them to deal with, with all it's big nad little flaws and faults. Instead, I bought it to get the tax credit, and then had to take better care of a car that I blatantly hated becuase I had to preserve some notion of a resale value.

Now the new A4 is due in a few weeks, I'll drive it for 3 years, and then either keep it, or get something else. By 2014, I'm sure the A3 will be as big as a 2011 A4 Avant, maybe I'll go with that. Maybe it won't have that horrid 2.0 TDI, or they'll at least have fixed it so it bloody well works right.

Yeah, I guess Leasing ain't so bad for those that get bored with their car pretty easily too. It could be a better option also for those that don't do a great deal of driving I'd imagine.

I know my mother was leasing for the longest time, but then she ended up spending so much buying off her last lease to own.

If you buy a car and keep it for more than five years you are better off NOT leasing.

Key is for a person who wants a new car every three years and can predict their miles driven.

I was willing to pay a premium for that new car. Now I drive less and the new car thing is not so much a priority anymore. Moved much closer to town and spend much less time in a car. Kids are now driving themselves and my boy gets driven by bus to ice hockey all over rather than by me on the weekends. Used to drive 35,000 miles in two cars. Now we down to to about 22k. Me, Im down to about 8k myself!

Last year lease rates were way out of line. Bought a low mile 328i coupe for a very low price.

So it depends on one situation.

Foolish to put any money down to lower payments.

Never say I won't lease again, but its a game I don't care about now.

Cars are so much better than they used to be I think it necessary to pay a premium to turn them over.
