Anything better than a 5.6% lease rate?
Am debating between a GLK and a Q5. I want the Q5, my wife wants a GLK.
But I feel like my monthly payment is ~$100-200 / mo higher than a reasonably speck'ed GLK. A 5.6% lease rate feels like a "f you" rate. I used carcostcanada to understand the dealer's landed cost and can easily calculate the fair price for the car.
I just am wondering if anyone has any experience getting a lower lease rate.
If not, my wife might win this one he he he.
Thanks

Q5 is a more expensive car (3.2L). Only the 3.2 should be compared to the GLK. My choice also came down to the Q5 and GLK, Q5 is superior in every single aspect.
Send a PM to afretes he's in the 'ssauga dealer.

I'm perfectly okay with the 2.0T, and on 18k / yr, the difference in fuel economy between the 2.0 Q5 and the 3.2 GLK is ~$3k over 36 months.
It's weird because family friends have purchased the GLK and said the exact opposite. I guess they really are too close to compare!

As important as rates maybe, RV are just as important. In the end the only thing which matters in a lease is the term and monthly payments. You could be at 10% or 0% and end up with the same monthly payments.
If you order a Q5 now, you'll be protected unitl February 28th. After that you'll be subject to new rates and RV, which maybe better.

Big-O -my advice is to buy. The Q5 is a gem of a car, with extremely high demand and limited supply. If the trend continues, and most likely it will, resale values will remain high and worth your while to own one.
Did you say GLK ? just google "audi Q5 vs GLK " and see what you find. The Q outperfoms and is definately the winner.

Leasing a car should really be considered like a service you're paying for, not an investment.
That being said, I did purchase my Q5. After 5 years, it doesn't make a big difference in the amount paid and I kind of like the fact that when I sell it, I get an amount I can use as cash down on my next car. It's a bit like a forced savings plan!!
