Default My new TT

Our TT just arrived and we got to see it and drive it today. It is a beautiful red 225 raodster with gray leather. The only problem is the car has shown up over two months ahead of schedule and they just called us yesterday and told us it was in. The question is we were not prepared for this early arival and we have not thought how would be the best way to finance it. If a lease or what Audi call its prestige purchase or a straight loan. I am thinking if and when Audi makes a "s" model of the TT I will probably like to have the newer model and maybe the Prestige purchase may be a better way to go. If anyone has experience with this plan please let me know how you like it and what kind of intrest rate you got.

Default shop around.......more

I leased my TT through my credit union. They had a better rate than the dealer, but Audi is still very competative. You can read up on leases and get all the info by going to your banks web site or Audi.

Good Luck! and early congrats!!!

Default A few questions Marco.. Please bare with me though, i don't know much about the way leasing works

In about 5 months I will start my shoping for a TT and was just wondering when I go to the banks and dealership what rates should I be looking at? Is it the interest rate, and if so when I go to the dealer can I just ask him what rate he is giving me the car at and try to negotiate a better rate? any tips you have would be great.. thanks

Default Great website.. thanks but how accurate is their lease estimator(driveoff.com)..?

B/c I just priced up a 37,000 TT and the lease rate came out to 485 a month with 250 down which seems low but makes me VERY happy

Default Should be pretty accurate if you used a real money factor....

...and residual.

Definitely shop around. Audi's leases are extremely pricey, imho
