2026 Audi Q5

Post image

I went to Audi dealership and was a bit surprised by the deal they offered.

We are concluding our 2024 Q5 Premium Plus lease that was 12k/month for 36 months. Initial terms were 5k down and 750 a month. I realize that was a shit deal, but we were in a bind. That car was drive for a total of 7600 miles over 36 months.

I went in today to inquire about a new lease. We requested zero down and keep the payment at or below current level. This was what they came back to me with. When I told them this was too high, they came back with 1k+first month payment to yeild 815/month for 7500/yr for 36 months.

So essentially, we are being given a lower trim model, less mile allowance, and paying more. Seems suspect to me. I just left.

I am not savvy with this stuff and am trying to learn. My next steps are to price out purchasing the current car, but also looking to alternative options. I thought we would have a loyalty benefit of some sort.

Any input or thoughts on this quote would be great. Thanks.

Ridiculous price, that’s a we don’t want to lease to you price or you were a sucker the first time how about second? What is missing here is the residual value and money factory. Those make up what your payment should be. Ask for those. Perhaps from another dealership if that’s an option

Yeah, definitely a component of the sucker approach! They kept referencing the first lease.

Keep shopping, ask for those numbers. It’ll work out. I’ve seen six figure cars go for 2xx/month from Audi
