I just configured it and it came out to be $40,050 for a a 2012 with:

moonlight blue metallic
6 speed manual
black leather interior
18" GmBh 5 spoke wheels
Premium Plus
Sport Package
Rear side airbags

what would the lease deals be on this?

In comparison the BMW I'm considering would be a 2012 328i with:
Sport Line with 18" wheels
Imperial Blue Metallic
Grey Leather (would get black but it comes with a ridiculous red trim line in the seats)
aluminum trim with black accents
Cold weather package
Premium package (don't' want but forced to)
xenons

this specs out at $44,695....Is it worth that much more? $4,600? If you equal it out and put on sat radio it's about a $5,000 difference.

I'll compare the prices on a 3 year lease (probably won't do european delivery this time) but financially the Audi looks better on paper if their lease rates are decent.

I have no idea, but don't be surprised if the BMW lease comes out to be more affordable despite an MSRP that is $5000 higher.

There are many on line and phone app lease calculators. You need to input the residual value at lease end, money factor from the lessor, sales tax, buy price for the car (sticker less discount you negotiate) , month length, MSRP. Also drive off fees like delivery, plates.

The money factor is the interest you pay on the use of the car. It is often a very low interest because the manufacturer subsidizes it as a backhanded discount.

It is a bad idea to put down payments on a lease to lower the monthly. If you total the car the gap insurance will cancel the lease payments but you eat the prior payments inc. down payment.

My guess is your 36 mo. lease will be in the low-mid 600s with no down payment nor sales tax up front.

I have a 2009 with a similar spec. My lease ends in April. I may extend a few months to get a 2013 with a better NAV.

I have a 2011 A4 P+, only option is Titanium Sport and Phantom Black paint. MSRP - $40,500-ish. Audicare is wrapped into the lease, I put no money down and pay about $540/month for 42 months at 15k miles/yr.

I just got a quote today for an A4 Premium Plus with Sport Package, 6 speed manual -- $481 for a 3-year lease with 12,000 miles per year and $5,000 down. This figure includes Audi loyalty money but no dealer discount as of yet, so it will go lower...hope that helps

That's similar to what I'm paying (is ours including or excluding sales tax?) but mine is 10k per year 39 months. Didn't pay anything up front though, not even tags or license or first month payment, everything was rolled into the lease.

Edmunds or leasecompare.com sometimes have the Audi money factors and depreciation % on their Audi boards. The 2013's are coming in early. I wonder how that will affect 2012 leases. Suppose they will bring down the prices of 2012 A4s this spring since it will be last year's model in June of July when the 2013s hit. If you want special equipmemt like sports package on a 2012 you may not find it. Most inventory is for Premiums which have regular headlamps and fixed rear seatbacks, no LEDs.

At $540/month, you would hit street price + T&L in about 6 years. I wonder how much is a 6-year old A4 with at most 90Kmiles worth. Not preaching or anything. Just wondering about the true cost of getting a new car every 3-3.5 years.

Is that the expected date of arrival for the 2013s?

I suggest you call a dealer for the latest news. They are selling 2013 is Europe now. My dealer said maybe June.
