Does anybody know the current resdidual % and money factors on leasing a 2006 A8L?

Particulary a 24 mos. 12K/ year lease.

Thank you very much,

According to my dealer contact the 2yr 12k lease MF is .00185 with a residual of 69%.

thanks for the info A8Liter....my dealer swears that giving me a money factor of .0031 is a "good deal" because it's only a 1/2 a point mark up from his rate from Audi, which he claims is .0026.

That sounded a bit high to me, but I just wanted to double check.

The 12-36 month rate is .00185. If you aren't paying a security deposit, the factor is increased by .00050

docdan

Gotcha. Thanks. So it would go up to .00235 if you paid a security deposit.

Hmmm, if the security deposit was 100% refundable (even if you sold the car before lease termination), I wonder if it would be worth it to put down the security deposit just to secure a lower money factor?

Could someone please explain how the money factor/residual works? I'm not sure whether an outright purchase would be a better deal than a lease. I am taking delivery of an A8 in May/June and need to decide how to move forward. Thanks in advance.
