so a guy going on his first audi, gets nothing?.......what about...
the lease rates. did they improve at all over last month? I was hoping for a % increase on the residual for the S-line A5. from what Ive learned on this forum, if the residual increases by a % the payment should reflect about 15 dollars off the monthly lease. Ive been waiting since last month(cancelling a a4 order) and hoping i could get slightly better lease rates this month. any insight would be appreciated. thanks for your help AofC your our man on the inside.

If you're waiting for residuals to go up, it will be quite a long wait...
...the car is gradually depreciating throughout the course of the model year, not appreciating. Therefore, the resdiuals will either stay the same during a given program changeover, or come down by 1 - 3 points, making the car more expensive to lease. In some instances, the finance arm will subvent the rates to make up a porion of the difference, but I don't think you're going to see that happen on an S5 anytime soon. YMMV.

what to do?
so would you recomend pulling the trigger now or waiting till april to see if i can get a better deal on a lease? heres my deal. 2009 A5 6MT, Navigation, premium, s-line, brillaint black. $46,000 selling price. 1,000 cap cost reduction with tax and fees up front. total out of pocket is $4,900. 36 month lease, 12k a year ...$745.00 a month. It seems to be a pretty good deal. what do you guys think?

Look at it this way... How much can you realistically expect it to change?
And by that, I mean change for better or for worse. +/- $50 per month? Does that relatively small change in either direction have a serious impact on whether or not you can afford the car? If so, it sounds like you're already stretching too far. If not, just buy the damn car and be done with it! You could be enjoying it rather than stressing over the cost!
