I've been saying that next to forever.....

Does Audi play that? I heard they've been hard to negotiate under the contract price in the past.

Some people have bought at the contract price, and Audi waived the last 2-3 lease pymts.

RKA

Yes, you have.

But who knows. I don't really know anyone that really tried too hard either.

The problem is lease prices will just be raised to counter act the heavy losses.

EdP

Lease price is based on many factors, namely MSRP price of the car, the selling price, the residual and money factor to name a few. The variable that would need to be changed would be the residual to reflect market trends. the money factor is a lending rate, and is not impacted by the cost in the end, no more than a finace rate would be affected by the market trends affecting the value of a house.

So, what WOULD be affected is the residual, but Audi has actually been pretty much in line with actual market/fair value. Cars that are getting reamed are the ones that are artificially supported thru company incentives such as the Jaguar, Camry, and Accords to name a few. Those residuals are far from true to actual market value.

Audi won't be too affected.

Leasing is still a major advantage if you are purchasing the car under a bussiness name.
