Guys
Just saw an old thread on PH from 2015
Interesting as I have also been quoted c 14% off a new car, but the GFV is nearer £38-39k. No where near £46k, and thus the monthlies are materially higher (more like £1100 all in)

Food for thought !

Here is old post from Feb '15

Specced an RS6 up but unsure as to which colour combo to pick.

Must have's for me are...

21' Titanium Wheels (£2,000)
Gloss Black styling pack (£980)
Privacy Glass (£390)

Not fussed really with any other options, best way to minimise the depreciation element.
List price - £81,365
Discounted price - £70,338
Saving - £11,027 (13.55% discount)

Guaranteed future value at 36 months = £46,258 which means it is losing £24,080 over 3 yrs, roughly £8,026 per year or £669pm. It is retaining 65.76% of its value at 3 yrs in the spec I have it in at discounted price or 56.85% from its list price.

£5k deposit
35 payments of £770
Total amount payable = £31,970 ( £888 cost per month)

or

£7.5k deposit
35 payments of £693
Total amount payable = £31,755 (£882 cost per month)

Your new quote, is that on a PE? Id imagine PEs have hit residuals of non PEs

If u want new now, go PE

PE or not residuals now shot. Loads of cars in the market, massive discounts, not surprising really.

My quotes had a GFV of £39.9k on a PE and £38.3 on normal RS6
So infact the PE depreciated more as a % of price
Which is contrary to what I was expecting, and is making lease payments quote rich !

My GFV last year - 2016 model car good spec - was 35k after 45k miles and 3 years.

GMFV's have dropped across the industry on the whole, if you have zero intention of ever owning the car or any future potential equity id look into Personal Contract Hire (PCH) at the minute a lot of manufacturer support and margin discounts as it forces a customer rotation cycle and thus more new cars on the roads.

Manufacturers change tact, from MRRP discounts to deposit contributions, to finance rates all to attempt to manipulate the market counter slumps and ultimately sell more cars.

Thanks
My current C63 is on a 2yr lease and its very cheap
I would be very happy continuing to lease and swap into a new one every 2-3 yrs
I was not aware Audi did much PCH - seems more BMW/MB?
