Hey everyone:

I have a 2014 S4 with about 95,000 miles on it. CPO warranty is up at 100,000. Car needs some very minor body work on the hood from clipping a deer, but otherwise it runs great mechanically. I owe about $14,000.00.

I went to the dealership recently and put a deposit on a 2018 S5 Coupe, although I can shift it over to a Sportback which I also like. Both cars are retailing around $64,000.00. I am getting about $5000.00 from the dealer for incentive pricing that pushes the car to around $59,000.00. They are offering $17,000.00 for the trade. If I give them the trade equity and $2500.00, I can grab the car for a 42 mo lease with 15,000 miles for about $770 a month. I don't think this is the greatest deal because I am laying out so much cash out of pocket, but I wanted to see if anybody here had any tips or suggestions.

If you put on 95k miles in 4 years, you're going to be looking at some hefty mileage charges on that lease.

Don't put money down on a lease, negotiate on the actual lease terms not the payment.

Money factor
Residual
Cap cost
Term/mileage

Lastly, you should lease a premium plus and get audicare, it bumps the residual up by 1 point and pays for itself.

Shoot for 8% off the car and if you are leasing, negotiate the price of the car. Never put money down. Residual is set by Audi and can't be changed but Money Factor can be. See how how many points they're marking it up to make a profit.

You should be able to get minimum in the tri-state area 12% to 15% off of the S5 coupe as they are not selling well. Back in May when I purchased my RS5 I was offered 12% off the s5 coupe but today they are taking even more off before any incentives.
