My Take: Nothing to sing about here. The A5/S5 still has pretty high money factors, granted they have dropped some since it’s introduction. The A8/S8 suffers from poor residual values, otherwise, the money factors look pretty good. Unfortunately, we need both numbers to be good in order to have a decent deal on our hands, so my suggestion is to skip them both this month.
