09 Audi Lease Rates for January 2009

Published 2009/01/13 by G

My Take: Thank you all for your patience! Here are Audi’s January leases. If you can’t find the model you are looking for it’s probably because I’m planning to post them on the “DO NOT LEASE” list for January 2009. Again, some more bad news, residuals took a nose dive in January. Audi FS did try to compesate by cutting money factors, but I know for a fact that a .0006 point drop on the money factor cannot possible offset a 4% drop in residual value. Expect a pricier lease this month. No word on any cash rebates, but it might be possible to get a bit more of a discount on the sale price. If you are a current Audi FS customer, you are eligible for a $1500 rebate so be sure to take advantage of that if you are currently leasing an Audi through Audi FS.

2009 Top Safety Pick Awards by IIHS

Published 2008/12/03 by G

From IIHS

How vehicles are evaluated: The Institute’s frontal crashworthiness evaluations are based on results of 40 mph frontal offset crash tests. Each vehicle’s overall evaluation is based on measurements of intrusion into the occupant compartment, injury measures recorded on a Hybrid III dummy in the driver seat, and analysis of slow-motion film to assess how well the restraint system controlled dummy movement during the test.

Side evaluations are based on performance in a crash test in which the side of a vehicle is struck by a barrier moving at 31 mph. The barrier represents the front end of a pickup or SUV. Ratings reflect injury measures recorded on two instrumented SID-IIs dummies, assessment of head protection countermeasures, and the vehicle’s structural performance during the impact.

Rear crash protection is rated according to a two-step procedure. Starting points for the ratings are measurements of head restraint geometry — the height of a restraint and its horizontal distance behind the back of the head of an average-size man. Seat/head restraints with good or acceptable geometry are tested dynamically using a dummy that measures forces on the neck. This test simulates a collision in which a stationary vehicle is struck in the rear at 20 mph. Seats without good or acceptable geometry are rated poor overall because they can’t be positioned to protect many people.

Shamefully, my G37 didn’t make the cut, but it made it into the “ALSO RANS” list:

ALSO-RANS
These 26 vehicles earn good ratings in front and side crash tests. They have ESC, standard or optional. They would be 2009 Top Safety Pick winners if their seat/head restraints also earn good ratings:

Chevrolet Malibu
Chrysler Sebring, Sebring convertible, Town & Country
Dodge Avenger, Grand Caravan
Infiniti G35, M35
Kia Amanti
Lexus ES, GS,IS
Mazda CX-7, CX-9
Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder, Endeavor
Nissan Altima, Pathfinder, Quest, Xterra
Saturn AURA
Smart Fortwo
Toyota 4Runner, Camry, Prius, Sienna

Something sad to note here, no Chrysler cars made it to the top of the list. I’m starting to feel like Chrysler is one automaker that probably doesn’t need the bailout since they build such “average” cars.

UPDATED Audi Lease Rates for Nov-Dec 2008

Published 2008/11/252008/12/08 by G

My Take: Audi Financial updated the lease rates yesterday. At first glance, you’ll noticed the money factor was slashed for the A3. The A4 stays relatively unchanged. There a lot of money factor reductions for some of the other cars on their line up. Take the time to look things over to see if there’s something worth leasing here. I personally would look into the A3 2.0T Quattro or the A4 Premium on a 36 month/12k term. The S5 would be awesome if the money factor wasn’t so high. The TT also has a decent residual / money factor combination.

November 2008 Lease Rates for 09 Audi A4, Q7 and TT

Published 2008/11/102008/11/10 by G

My Take: Here are the remaining lease rates for the 09 Audi lineup. Compared to the previous post, these are the “better” leases in my opinion. The A4 is still leasing for about the same, but folks seem to be able to get deeper discounts on the sale price compared to a few months ago. Too bad TMV doesn’t reflect this. They are still estimating that most people pay MSRP for the A4…seriously, who in their right mind would pay MSRP in these economic times!?!

November 2008 Lease Rates for 09 Audi A3, S4, A5, S5, A8, S8 and R8

Published 2008/11/102008/11/09 by G

My Take: In this post you will find all of the “not-so-great” Audi leases for the 2009 model year. Seems like the “less popular” models tend to have the worst ratesr. If there are any Audi’s I don’t recommend right now, they would be found on this list.

October 2008 Lease Rate for 09 Audi TT

Published 2008/10/202008/10/20 by G

My Take: The TT leases look good enough to look into this month. Unfortunately, there isn’t any dealer or manufacturer cash floating around, so you will need to put on your negotiator hat for this one. Just keep in mind that this is a buyers market, so if you have any reservations about the deal, walk away from it. As for me, I doubt this car will ever see the comforts of my garage. The bargain hunter in me cannot justify a 4cyl two-seater that costs well over $40k equipped the way I like it.

October 2008 Lease Rates for 09 Audi A5/S5 and A8/S8

Published 2008/10/202008/10/20 by G

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.
