09 Audi A5/S5 Lease Rates – July 2009

Published by G

logo_audiMy Take: Just thought you should know how the numbers look this month. Still kinda high and this car has been out for well over a year. I get the feeling Audi isn’t planning to move the coupes any time soon. Look into a purchase, because the lease isn’t looking very good still.

Check out the new LIST for the recommended leases of the month.

  1. Hey G, i actually pre-ordered a 2010 A5 2.0T Premium Plus. I was given a sales price of 41175 including destination and the B&O upgraded sound system. This is the lease deal i got, let me know what you think of it?

    42 months, 12k miles per year
    Selling Price: 39800.00
    Doc Fee: 450.00
    Acquisition Fee: 625.00
    Maintenance (Audicare, which raises residual 1%): 740.00
    License Fee: 145.00
    Cap Cost Reduction: 2745.59
    Residual: 49%
    Money Factor: .0024
    Balloon Amount: 20175
    Taxes: 6.5% in my area
    Payment: 603.11

    • @K. This is probably not what you want to hear, but I think this is a very expensive lease. Of course, I have to keep things in perspective here since Audi hasn’t introduced any lease support on the A5/S5 for well over a year. I can’t really comment too much about the 2010 because I don’t have those numbers. But a good rule of thumb (which Matthew mentioned in the 2010 E-Class post) is that a good lease payment is generally about 1.2% of your cars MSRP (after taxes and without any cap reduction). You are sitting at around 1.46% with almost $2800 in cap reduction, so I think it’s a bit much. But again, this is an A5 which Audi hasn’t been discounting. Also, factor in that your car is a 2010, you will be paying a premium for it. For the money, I’d rather have a the 328i or the G37 coupe personally. Of course, I am kind of biased because I’m not a big fan of the 2.0T engine for a car that size. 🙂

  2. @K

    I’m also checking out the A5 2.0T. I agree with G that your lease is insanely overpriced, especially for a 4-banger. You can almost get a BMW 335i Coupe for that monthly payment. It’s a $45-50k MSRP car and can run circles around the A5 performance-wise.

  3. Yea, now that i’ve had a day to sleep on it, you guys are right this is a bit higher than it should be. I’m going to a different dealer who said that they have the exact model coming in and will help get me into the car for a lower price than what i was told at the first dealer. I’m also starting to think that they are trying to hustle a lot of their customers since the location to which i first originally went to purchase my audi is going for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, which to me throws up a red flag

  4. Well, i’ve gone to a different dealership, and they best they could offer me was 4369 down including audi care and 599/month including tax. It is a little bit better, but not by much, which is why i think i might have to reconsider the audi a5 2.0t and get something else =(

    • @4369 down? LOL crazy! The less you pay, the better. If the payments are still high and the dealer will not come down anymore, try MSDs instead of cap reduction. Personally, A5 is a nasty lease right now, seriously, there are other solid/cheaper options out there.

  5. I also was looking into a 2010 A5, Here are the numbers:

    36 months, 15k miles per year
    MSRP 47775
    Selling Price: 42900.00
    Doc Fee: 450.00
    Acquisition Fee: 625.00
    Maintenance (Audicare, which raises residual 1%): 740.00
    License Fee: 145.00
    Cap Cost Reduction: 1000
    Total initial out of pocket: 2500

    Trade In: -4000 (I owe more than I have paid on my car)

    Taxes: 7% in my area
    Payment: 855.00

    I can totally afford it, but I am not sure if this is a good deal, I am a lease virgin 🙂

    • @angel. I think the sale price is very strong but your trade-in is really killing the deal right now. It is never a good idea to roll that much negative equity into a new deal because you are essentially paying for two cars while only getting to drive one. Another thing is that if you end up wanting out of the A5 early again, you’ll end up wanting to roll it into the new car, which is a pretty bad cycle to get yourself into because you are essentially carrying negative equity from one car to another, endlessly. Cap reduction, generally a bad idea, rather have you use that towards MSD if possible. Lastly, if you MUST roll in negative equity, you should ONLY do it if the money factor is low. That way you incur the lowest amount of interest charges. Remember, the negative equity you carried in the old car already has taxes and interest in it. by rolling it into a new loan, you are essentially getting hit with taxes and interest TWICE.

  6. Thanks G for your quick response!, yeah I think I will try to sell my car as a private party, see what happens, would love to drive the A5, but I am in no rush, thanks again!
