Audi Lease - Why are they so good?
Friday, October 12th, 2007Over recent months, Audi have become more and more agressive with their leasing products, and yet this would seem a strange move, for a multitude of reasons.
Audi have almost always maintained supply, just less than demand. For example with an Audi TT, everyone has to go on the waiting list. To this effect, there is a certain amount of prestige available from waiting for a car.
Keeping the vehicles always in demand has one major influence on the leasing costs - While the vehicles are in demand, the residual value of said vehicle remains with strength.
Once a couple of years have passed, with the RV’s (residual values) holding strong, it is now time to start pushing the vehicles heavily into the leasing market (because you only pay for the difference between invoice cost and residual value).
The added bonus to Audi has been that more and more, car manufacturers are moving toward supply on demand, and not stock piling. This brings everybody else inline with their delivery timescales, so if you want a BMW 1 series instead, you will still have to wait for it now.
The same applies to Golfs,Leons and alike.
Provided car manufacturers continue to stretch delivery schedules for vehicles, removing the option for the customer to stroll into a dealership and pickup an alternative, Audi will continue to flourish in the personal and business leasing world. I have even seen prices for A3 Hatchbacks at less than £200 per month!!!
At least this article give an insight as to why.
