Also, is the money factor you qualify for based on your credit score or do you either qualify for the lease or don't? I'm tired of dealers coming up with their own stories and rules.

True. It's easier to negotiate the price on a car that's been sitting in a lot for a while, since it's costing them money, but you can also negotiate price when you custom order.

Leases are like finance in that it's not just you get it or you don't. You can almost always get a lease (although the credit requirement is slightly higher than finance), but the programs you will find here --which, unlike finance APR's, are not published anywyere by Audi-- you can only get with a high credit score, usually 730/740 and up. If you're lower than that, they won't give you prime rates, but you can still negotiate. Again, it's just like when you finance a car, only there are two factors for you to take into account and for the dealer to play with: money factor and residual.

I understand you have to leave some deposit. But it's in no way the final contract. So what's stopping the dealer from giving you a low ball when you order your car and then saying "sorry" when you come to pay it in full and sign the contract.

Also any people here who traded in their cars and then ORDERED a TT?

Audi has such program. I forgot what they call it, but it's something official. When your car comes in, they will/should give you either the rate you got when you place the order or the one they have when the car comes in, whichever is better.

My dealer just confirmed this.
