Things got very confusing at the dealer today when we were talking leases. Money factor started at .00190, then went to .00245 with no explaination. Can someone please share there Money Factor for 2.0T coupe.... Thx.

For European delivery they said .00367. With this higher rate E.D. doesn't make sense to me. With the increased rate there is no longer a financial advantage for E. D.

I the smell of fish from this dealership?

If my memory serves me correctly, I think I paid about .0020. This was a little above the .00190 that Audi was offering through the end of May but I made up the difference by negotiating in a few freebies (it's a long story). A factor of .00245 seems a little high to me. Are they giving you the car below MSRP?

As a benchmark I asked for a 36mo/$30K lease. We did not finalize our price negotiation. I really don't like the game of 'moving the bucks' from MSRP to lease cost.

I've had talks with 3 Audi dealers and have grown to dislike their attitude. For the most part they are courtious until I try to understand the details, then it's BS, misleading answeres, and in one case untruths. Perhaps they are just use to customers taking out the check book rather then first understanding all the costs.

Can anyone recommend a reputible dealer in SW Florida?

Has anyone found a dealer that understands the European Delivery Program?

You cannot do ED on a lease, only on purchase. You need to pay 17% VAT (Value Added Tax) prior to picking up the car - you then get it back when you drop the car off. This cannot be done on a lease. Simple answer, if you want to do ED, you need to finance the car. And yes, the money factors on the TT stink. I wanted a TT and ended up in an SLK because of the difference in mf - the Benz was .00140 and the TT would have been .00240. Makes a big difference over a three year lease period. If you want a better mf, you are going to have to wait until demand dies down - probably about six-nine months. I think the TT mf's will come down when the A5 is released.

Collection of VAT is dealer optional. This dealer has agreed to wave collecting the VAT from me when I told them I would have no part of it.

I to have been seriously considering the SLR350 w/AMG pkg. Are you happy with your Benz? Perhaps even a used one 2005 would work for me.

.00145 for 12-36 months and .00165 for 39-42 months. No penalty for european delivery. This is a just released new rate for 2.0 coupes only.

The SLK350 is a sick car. I got the SLK280 and I have driven the SLK350 - and it is absolute pure pleasure in every manner. Just don't if the deals were as good. I walked out of the dealer with an 07' SLK280 on a 3 year lease with 15K year for $550/mo. TT was going to be $740.

Just want to make sure, this makes a decent amount of difference in my case.

2.0 coupe . . .

You sure about this?
