Hi,<p>I found an A4 today that I want to lease. It isn't 100% perfect (it does not have the sports package -- which I would have liked -- but I won't die without it)... but availability in my part of the world is pretty poor. I visited 5 dealers this week, and only 1 had a car that was even close to what I wanted. I know I can order a 99.5, but I'm happy with a 99.<p>But... I would like to know who I can call about getting a better lease deal than from Audi/VW. <p>I have read on here that a few banks will do a lease for you (i.e., I am not stuck with the dealers choice) -- but who can I call for this? If you don't mind, *please* cc: me via E-mail.<p>On the below listed car, the dealer quoted me 15,000 miles/yr with $1250 down for $432.86 @ 39/months with a .00329 money factor (62% residual.) <p>Can I do better than this? Also, would the outside sources require a acquisition fee (what is the deal with this?) and a security deposit PLUS last months payment? Anyhow, thanks for your help. <p>Dealer Retail Item<br>$20,942.00 $23,790.00 A4 1.8T <br>$500.00 $500.00 DestCharge <br>$1,650.00 $1,650.00 Quattro <br>$548.00 $630.00 All WX Pkg <br>$1,044.00 $1,200.00 Radio/CD <br>$870.00 $1,000.00 Sunroof <br>$218.00 $250.00 Trip Comp. <br> <br>$25,772.00 $29,020.00 My Car <br> <br>$3,248.00 Difference between Dealer & Retail <br>$27,396.00 Average between Dealer & Retail <br> <br>$27,499.00 Paying <br> <br>$1,727.00 6.70% Their Profit <br>$1,521.00 5.53% Below Sticker
