Default 2018 RS3 - Lease Numbers

Hey Guys,

Trying to be a first time Audi owner...

I'm looking to lease the 2018 RS3. The window sticker is $64,760.00. They are not looking to come off MSRP. The dealer is saying the residual is set at 48% with Audi care. The money factor is .00254! These numbers seem crazy out of line.

Can anyone share some numbers they have locked in or heard so far? I would love to compare.

Thanks!

Your numbers are in line with what they've been the past couple months.

In my opinion (with these numbers), this isn't a car to lease unless you enjoy burning money.

A lease would be like $1000 a month even with putting $5000 down. You are better off buying it, taking great care of it, and selling it in 3 years. Car will be worth more then 30,000 IMO in 3 years

Well for most people it would be no question to buy the car. Since I own my own company, a lease has other tax perks.

Yeah, some bad numbers, don't lease it unless you can afford to burn-up some bucks and/or really aren't sure you'll like the car.
