[@jbinmd]

Audi discounted the new car but not its expected value after one year (the residual). Thus, the two values were similar. A lease payment covers the delta, but with the delta near zero, the lease was cheap. A year later, these cars are coming off lease and are worth a lot less than the original residual. Audi could take a bath on reselling the cars or lease them out again so that they don't have to take the bath for another year.

[@marcus_w0]

We had something similiar (although with a Fiat 500e) in germany, where you basically paid $0 to take the lease and have it two years, because of government subsidies for EVs that were higher than the lease.

[@johnhufnagel]

if someone figured out how to do something like that in the U.S., I'd get one of the new 500e's. an older one has been on my want list for many years, but prices in the used market are... stupid.

The Regional Team at then Daimler Chrysler, put $7,000 “Cash” to dealer to take STD. Cab RAM from the parking lots at airports, 1,000’s of trucks were built a day that weren’t sold so we sold them to dealers. With the rebates to consumer, and holdback (4%) and Deliver allowance (1%) combined with this $7,000 combined for MORE than the Cap Cost….YEs the dealer could have technically given the Trucks away and made $4,000 Net. The dealer took as many as he could get, we sold him something like 200 new trucks in ONE DAY. Truly a Black Friday special.

Depends on your state but AFAIK most states charge sales tax on the monthly payment. The registration fees are what can get you. A $160k MSRP car in California would probably be $1400 for the first year registration.

[@theslumlordmillionaire]

Was it actually an error o or a way to help offset year one depreciation knowing they’re gonna have to depreciate it next year just simply by being year end model 2024 instead of 25. Now is that market picks up and people are returning their 12 month leases they’re still able to resell that vehicle at the new discounted depreciated price but that was then offset by the $6000 payment. What this also does for marketing is show that people are currently in the cars driving them around and enjoying them versus having to discount a car because it’s been sitting on your lot for 8 to 12 months so I don’t think this was a mistake. I think this was extremely creative financing by Audi.

[@VINwiki]

Correct. They will just get to take the losses later. It was strategic, we just get to benefit.

Probably 0.25 cents per mile. Compared to the residual drop for a higher mileage allowance, it's cheaper to take the lower mileage terms and just pay for the excess miles with high MSRP cars.
