Hi everyone,

I'm new and need some advice! I'm working with a dealership to pick up a 2011 2.0 TFSI quattro Premium (tiptronic) in meteor gray. I'm going to be leasing for 48 months (16,000km/year allowance).

I've been quoted $640/month payment taxes included with zero down and $650 security deposit.

I was quoted the same price from a different dealer for a 2011 A4 Front Trak, so I already know that was a crappy deal.

Any advice? Do you think I could ask for more? I tried to get him to waive the security deposit but that failed. Help..

Thanks!

Update: it turned out to be a pretty solid deal. The other dealership gave up ^_^

48 months are you crazy?

with that monthly payment and lease term, why not just purchase and finance? I bought a 2011 A4 premium quattro in July. I ordered it and negotiated the price to be dealer invoice. I put down $5,000 and got a 1% 5 year loan (from Pentagon Federal Credit Union) and the monthly payment is $560. I don't understand your math, your monthly payment will be $80 more per month to "rent the car".

Look into buying it, even if you don't put $5,000, your payment will be close to what you will be paying for the lease and after 5 years, you will own the car and you can trade it in on an new one!!!!

Hey, what was your negotiation strategy to get that invoice price?

I'm in Canada... and I lease because I can write payments off through my business.

Contact a couple of dealerships over the internet and make them outbid each other. It took me 5 emails to do that, then 1/2 hour to do the order paperwork, a 8 1/2 week wait, a 1/2 hour to listen to the point-of-sale offerings and write them a check. No hassle whatsoever.

off-topic but I scratched my car within 24 hours of picking it up. I hate myself right now.

Not sure if it's the market changed or what. I leased my 2010 S4 with Nav/ADS/B&O/AudiCare (MSRP$55900) for $728/mon (tax included) with 0 down for 12Kmile X 36mon. I'm in So Cal.

+1 Did exactly same. 3 phone calls to get lowest price. See dealer to cut more. Done deal.
