09 Audi A8 Lease Rates – June 2009

logo_audiMy Take: I don’t want to say too much about the A8 this month other than “just buy the car”. Leasing doesn’t make much sense unless you own a business and can write-off all your payments.

09 Audi TT Lease Rates – June 2009

logo_audiMy Take: TT rates are pretty bad, so don’t bother leasing these. If you are going to get a TT, check with the MB SLKs first, they are better lease-to-buy candidates in my opinion. Down the line, when lease rates start drying up a bit this month, I will work on a new post outlining ways for you to spot a good deal from a bad one just by looking at lease rates. It’s really not hard once you start noticing the trends.

09 Audi Q5, Q7 Lease Rates – June 2009

logo_audiMy Take: The Q5 and Q7 have really low money factors this month, so be sure to take advantage of that if you plan to lease the car and buy it off at lease end. I wouldn’t call this the “Deal of the Month” when it comes to SUVs, but it isn’t half bad since the interest rate is low. When it comes to leasing, I’d rather pay a lower interest rate than residual because it makes buying the car out at lease end a possibility, specially if you go over your miles. If you get a car that has inflated residuals, you will end up overpaying for that car, should you decide to buy out your lease.

09 Audi A6,S6 Lease Rates – June 2009

logo_audiMy Take: A6s are not good leases, but they are good lease-to-buys. Just look at the MF! .00038, .00003 (thats right, 4 Zeros!). That’s almost an interest free loan. As always, remember AudiCare, specially if you plan to go with the 36-month lease. A6s aren’t as popular as A4s, so you might have some luck with lower sale prices (in other words, I wouldn’t pay anymore than invoice).

09 Audi A5, S5 Lease Rates – June 2009

logo_audiMy Take: Prepared to be shocked! S5 money factors came down to .00289 from .00316!!! That should save you a little bit of cash there. Residual stay steady, meaning you are guaranteed a lower payment than back in May. Is this the beginning of a cheaper S5 lease? I wouldn’t hold my breath on that one, but it certainly is slightly better news. There is $1500 loyalty cash available on the A5 and it does work for lesses. Btw, don’t forget the AudiCare!!!

09 Audi A3 Lease Rates – June 2009

logo_audiMy Take: The A3 2.0T isn’t a bad lease this month the FWD models seem a bit better in terms of residual value and MF. Give these models a try if you don’t mind having a FWD. If you need the AWD, then you will probably have a to pay more. 2010 model rolls into showrooms this coming winter with a starting price of $32k. Ouch, not sure how Audi justifies these increases.

09 Audi A4, S4 Lease Rates – June 2009

logo_audiMy Take: Ever wonder which one is a better deal? Audi A4 or C350? C350, although, you can’t get a C350 in AWD, so if you need one, you gotta either opt for the C300 or go the G37, IS250 or 3-Series route. A4 money factors are low, which is a good thing. Residual on the other hand…yickes! Lease-to-Buy if you can. Specially on the A4 2.0Ts and the Cabrios. Remember, A4 Cabrios are going out, making way for the A5 Cabrios, so that would explain the ultra-low MF. S4 MF still sucks, but that’s not surprising since M3s and C63 AMGs’ MFs suck too. In any case, as far as sale price is concern, I think invoice should be attainable in most areas with solid competition without much negotiation. Can they go lower? probably.

09 Audi A5/S5 Lease Rates – May 2009

logo_audiMy Take: Better late than never, right? Sorry, apparently, I forgot to post the A5/S5 rates for May. Lucky, you may still get a few days to use it. Thanks to Gerry for posting the question otherwise I would have never noticed. Money factors suck, residual so-so. Stick with the A5 unless you feel like pay a lot of money on interest. Better yet, if you are shopping for a S5, money shouldn’t really be an issue, should it? LOL. Hope you are all having a great weekend. I’m stuck with house cleaning and caretaker duties since the wife is out with a cold.
