So my lease of my 2010 A5 is coming up next June...yeah, I know I am thinking about this very early...and I was just assuming that I would end up getting another one. But I am now thinking of an S5 instead...I configured one at around $57,000 sticker price and drive 12,000 miles a year. Anyone have a similarly priced lease and care to share what their payment is? Thanks!

The number should be around 700 to 800 if you put 5k down. You can always email the dealers give them the terms,mileage, and down payment, they will be able to give you a quote. They do internet quotations all the time now, tho they will try to get you to go to their store first.

S5 Should be between $850 - $1000/month for 36 month lease, depends on how loaded it is. Nothing lower than $800 I'm sure, since you have to add taxes.

Glad I just paid off my 2012 S5 today, so I don't have anymore monthly payments or car debts. yahoooo !!!

36 months 15k miles, one guy gave me 849 a month with around $2k at signing. another guy gave me 874 i think? nothing at signing. i forget the numbers. hopefully that gives you an idea.
12k miles is $20 less a month I believe.

Leasing rule #1 - never put any money down. I have leased 8 vehicles, and drove them off the lot with zero out of pocket.

I lease my S4. Sticker price was $56,800. I put $1200 down ( includes my first payment) 12k a year for 42 months. With Audicare I pay $639.00 per month. Not an S5 but sticker price was very similair so I put in my 2 cents...

It is not too early. My A5 lease is up next September, and my slaes rep told me to get in to see her in early December to place my order. Going for a PremPlus S5 next myself. She told me they would buy me out of my lease whenever the S5 arrived. Sounds good to me.

Hmmm...interesting...I know that when I ordered my A5 back in 2010, I had an only three month wait. That said, I would LOVE for my dealer to buy back my A5 early which may be doable since it is under the mileage figure (I had gotten a 15,000 per year lease however due to a change in job, I only drive now 12,000 per year)

$6372 down, $700/mo
$8374 down, $650/mo
$10016 down, $600/mo
$11659 down, $550/mo

With regards to saying it is always better to put nothing down. I can argue that the savings for putting more down are better than putting nothing down - interest rates are nothing right now for sitting on the cash.

We're all in different financial positions. Some can handle the $700 to $850 lease. Others can swing the $800 to 1k finance purchase. Others would rather close a .50% APR CD and pay themselves monthly while driving a BADA$$ set of wheels. Different for all of us.

The fact that we're contemplating these A5/S5 means we're pretty blessed in many ways.
