Fully loaded A5 3.2. What to expect to pay on lease?

[Audi Juice]

Approximate sticker $55K.Looking for a 36 month term maximum. W/ 12k miles per year. How much should I expect monthly payments to be.

[Audi Juice]

Well, nevermind. My buddy just got it anyway. A little over $1k a month w/ audicare. Out of pocket $3500. 36 months.

I'll post pics of the car. Its IBIS on black. Need some wheels for it now.

What?

$3500 cash AND $1000 per month?!

That's just silly. There is no way I would pay that much, especially for
3.2 power.

Yeah, it's pretty, but not THAT pretty and certainly doesn't have the performance for that kind of coin.

Audi guys used to make fun of BMW guys paying for the brand rather than substance, well.....
The A5 costs are about style and name too.

[Audi Juice]

Yeah, seemed high to me too. No one responded so he got impatient and pulled the trigger.

damn 1k a mo....if I spent 1k/mo on 1 car for just 1 year...damn that would turn out sick. Anyways, he might as well keep it then.

WOW 1K a month? my friend leased an 07 S6 for 1100, your friend got ripped.

[drexplode]

dude your friend can probably BUY a used 07 or 08 RS4 in 4-5 yrs. That is insane!!!! Lease FTL!

In 3 years, the car is only going to be worth ~$15,500?

36X1k = 36000
deposit = 3500
total paid in 3 yrs = 39500
sale price = 55000
difference = 15500

your friend, does he think before he acts. poor thinking on his part.

[07-Aythree]

isnt the S5 going for a little bit more than that?
I know M3's are near the 800-900 mark right now since theyre not selling at all

[vDubr]

Wait, so your friend is now paying $40,000 to drive a $55,000 car for 3 years? That doesn't make much sense. He should have just financed it. At least he'd have some equity at the end of the term.

I know someone looking to lease a BMW 650i for $1000/month and around $3500 down. The MSRP on that car is about $85,000, though.

Here are a few trying to give up their S5 lease in leasetrader. I can't believe what they're paying!

Curious, what are the numbers with your friends lease (Money Factor, Residual etc)?

[AUDITOPGUN]

[MeteorS4Ti]

1k a month for an A5?!?! I was inquired for a S5 and the lease was $980. (Car had a $60k sticker) I have no clue what your friend was thinking...
