THE DEAL!

The deal in question is for the 2021 Audi Q3 S-Line Premium 45 TFSI quattro, a desirable compact luxury SUV. While the base Q3 starts at $35,095, the Pre-Negotiated Deal model has an MSRP of $39,845 including destination charge.

The Pre-Negotiated Deal is simple: $349 per month with $0 down payment. First month's payment, tax, registration, fees, and security deposit are due at signing.

Below are sample deal sheets showing final pricing for a New Jersey resident, including taxes (6.625%) and three years of NJ MVC registration fees ($400). One deal includes a refundable security deposit, while the other deal does not require a security deposit and has a higher monthly payment. The choice is yours!

For those who love numbers, here is the breakdown of the deal on the Leasehackr Calculator: with security deposit and without security deposit. Note that different annual mileage options, ranging from 7,500 miles to 15,000 miles, are available.


DEAL EVALUATION

Selling Price: The selling price on this Pre-Negotiated Deal Audi Q3 lease is 10% below MSRP, or 14% below MSRP with incentives applied—excellent for a popular Audi SUV. By contrast, the official Audi lease offer for the Q3 has only a 3% discount off MSRP.

At such a large discount, the Pre-Negotiated Deal dealer is selling the vehicle significantly below cost ($1,600 below invoice) in the hopes of meeting a volume bonus this month. We do not expect this same level of discount into the new year as the first quarter is historically slower, and dealers will be chasing gross profit rather than volume.

Money Factor: We’ve made sure that the Pre-Negotiated Deal money factor is the same as the buy rate set by Audi Financial Services: .00118 (2.83% APR), or .00073 (1.75% APR) with a security deposit. There is no markup on the money factor.

Document Fee: The document fee of $499 is above the average document fee of $335 for New Jersey, but this increase is easily offset by the large discount reflected in the selling price.


ABOUT THE AUDI Q3

The Audi Q3 is a compact luxury SUV that punches above its weight in terms of style and technology. 

Every Q3 comes equipped with a panoramic sunroof, virtual cockpit, and leather upholstery, while the Convenience Package found on the Pre-Negotiated Deal cars adds blind spot warning, advanced key, and other niceties. A turbocharged engine and quattro all-wheel drive enhance both dry and wet weather performance.

THE FINE PRINT

This Pre-Negotiated Deal is only available within the Tri-State Region for residents of the following states: New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania. Delivery is available only to a location within a 30-mile radius of the selling dealership and is subject to availability. Deal is valid through December 31, 2020, or until vehicles are sold.

Pre-Negotiated Deal offer is available upon approved credit only. Security deposit amount may vary based on credit score. Amount due at signing and monthly payment may vary from the sample New Jersey deal sheets shown above depending on vehicle registration location, due to variations in sales tax rate, registration fee, and tax structure. 

At lease end, lessee is responsible for disposition fee of $495 to Audi Financial Services, $0.25/mile for miles driven in excess of the allotted mileage, and any excessive wear and tear. Excess wear and tear protection may be purchased at additional cost.

Exact vehicle color and configuration are subject to availability. The dealer will try its best to assign the customer a car that matches the desired color. If not possible, the customer will be notified and may choose to select another color or forfeit deal reservation.

Comparison between Pre-Negotiated Deal offer and official Audi lease offer is based on normalizing the official Audi lease offer to account for differences in vehicle MSRP ($39,845 versus $38,795, respectively) and customer down payment ($0 versus $1,759). Official Audi offer requires $1,527 dealer contribution, which is equivalent to a discount of 3% off MSRP.

Leasehackr does NOT sell or lease any vehicle to you or broker your deal. All transactions and agreements made for the sale of the vehicle are between you and the dealer.
