My Take: Hurray for super-low money factors! And that’s about it. Residuals leave a lot to be desired, but this shouldn’t come to you as a shock by now. Unless you are looking at a TDI model or the ever popular A4s, you probably won’t see residual going too far above 50% for the 36-month term. Earlier in the month, George Adams requested a quick estimate of what a R8 would cost to lease. Well George, don’t get too excited. Lets assume best case scenerio here…$123,600 MSRP, $115,179 invoice, .00255 MF, 35% Res (10k per year)….$2401 per month + tax. And I didn’t even add the inception fees yet. Your best bet? Go with a 3rd party lender like US Bank, Wells or use LeaseCompare to see if you can get more attractive rates because 0.00255 isn’t that hard to beat.

G, why are the R8 residuals so low? It’s not a typo, right?
nope, not a typo. I used to post the 10k numbers and those were low as is. These are 15k numbers so they should be lower. I think Audi lowered residuals across the board, which is why most of their lineup’s residuals are in the low 50s or less.
