From my limited search looks like an S prestige is going for $1700 per month 36 month / 12k. RS $2100.
Hard to believe the insane lease deals of 23/24 are coming back anytime soon.

With the current state of things and past poor sales performance I doubt Audi will be making near as many. We got spoiled driving cars well north of 100k leasing for well under $1,000 per month. I like my 23 GT and when my lease is up at the end of the year will probably be moving to a BMW i5 M60 or i4 M50. I love the Taycan, but only way to realistically play is purchase which I am not into with huge depreciation hit.

Definitely spoiled.......It's going to be hard to replicate my 2024 GT PP lease. 115k msrp, $3800 due at signing, $623/month.

How many months is the lease?

i just got my renewal quote. for 100/300, and $1k deduct for both, its $300 a month with progressive. absurd

Call progressive to see what they can do, ask if the policy can me re-written or see if they can place you in another tier. When I called them on my recent renewal, i was told that my policy has not been reviewed in the 13 years I've been with progressive, and that automatically place people in a "B" tier unless there were prior incidents that placed you in a less favorable tier. They now placed me in an "A1" tier and my rates dropped.

Give it a try.

Shop around and switch. I was with Progressive for over a decade, emerald tier. They raised my rate from 1500 to 2k for 6 month period, no accidents. I did have 2 zero deductible windshield claims on the rs5. Called and they couldn't do much better, even after requoting.

Checked Geico, with more coverage, rental and 500 deds, they quoted 800 for 6 months on the rs5. I was overpaying at Progressive by a huge margin. Loyalty doesn't pay.

Now with the RS GT, I'm paying 1k every 6 months. I expect Geico to slowly raise my rate over time. When my lease is up, I plan to shop Insurance to compare. I feel my bill with Geico is pretty good, but it doesn't take a whole lot of time to get quotes online.

I’ve tried several online brokers they always lead me back to progressive. I’ll try geico directly

Hi all, new to the forum here. Considering leasing a S etron GT 2025.

Is it possible to have a car from a dealer from a different state than your resident state delivered to a more local dealership?

Or is the better option to directly buy it from the dealer that is out of state?

 

[ace10]

Is there something extraordinary about the vehicle in a different state?
Dealers don't transfer inventory.

 

[infinium]

Nothing extraordinary, but out of state dealers have the color options I prefer (interior and exterior).

I suppose I don't need to be too attached to the colors, but then paying so much money for leasing a car makes one feel that they get exactly what they want.

If the dealer doesn't transfer the inventory, can I just go buy it myself out of state? What could be the implications of that?

I would be living in Texas.

 

[Ender]

Dealers transfer inventory all the time, look up “dealer trades”. They often just don’t work out the best for you price wise.

It's a lease, do you really care that much about the color(s)? I took what I could find on the RS lease last year. When I purchased the GT during the severe car shortage in '22, I was very picky and had to travel.

The tariff situation is going to make car negotiations very interesting in the short term.

I've tried to get low-volume, premium vehicles transferred between dealers and it just isn't a thing. Not even between stores that are owned by the same company.

 

[ace10]

I don't know what Audi's plans are for importing vehicles, but I do know that Porsche are going to offload US-bound vehicles that are in-transit at non-US ports and are holding everything else on the ground in Europe. No word on production scheduling changes, yet.

Logic would suggest that pricing negotiations are going to become more difficult as on-hand inventory dries up. Toyota dealers are already adding "tariff adjustments" on in-stock Tacomas, all of which are Hecho en Mexico.

 

[ace10]

Audi inventory shows (80) RS units on the ground (available) within the US market. When I toggle to "available within 3 months," the number remains at (80).

Assuming the data is reliable, I would guess that something is afoot with Audi shipping logistics.

Yes fair point.

I hope that I can negotiate a reasonable lease on what they have in stock. Else it might be too expensive to even lease it.

I was one that grabbed that insane lease on a 2024 RS etron GT w/ a $167k MSRP.
Returned it this February and picked up an i5 M60.
If we're talking about speed, it doesn't touch the RS. It's a tad slower 0-60 and has a limited top speed of 131MPH whereas the RS was 161MPH.

Exterior looks to me, the RS is one of the sexiest EVs on the market today. Such a stunner of a car!

Interior wise, the M60 is miles ahead of the RS. The RS is dated and needs to be brought up to 2025 standards. Soooo much tech on the M60.

Out of the 2, I definitely prefer the RS. I just like how sporty it is, it sits much lower and is a bit of a harsher ride. Everything a sports car should be imo.
The M60 is a 3 year lease, but I'm planning on getting out of it as soon as the numbers come down on the performance version.
The base 2025 etron is just a mere replacement of the 24 RS. I need to feel that performance power!!

Congrats. Love what the I5 offers, just really wanted a GT/RSGT next. What are some of the standout tech items? I know visually the interior/tech is more wowing than the GT/RS GT interior. BMW seem to be doing well with the IX/I4 and the I5. Was eyeing an I5 40 or 60 also.

This is exactly what I did with my 2024, and for the same reasons. It definitely can be done if your dealer is willing to do it, and the dealership that has the car you're eying up is too.

 

[e-dude]

I bought my GT directly from and out-of-state dealer and had it shipped to me. Easy peasy.

I mentioned the tiers to two separate reps at progressive and neither knew what I was referencing when talking about the tiers.

I may have referenced the wrong term...here is the notes from my discussion:

Credit rating review:

Check credit to see if B1 can go to A1. Yes. Decrease in $377 for upcoming term for a renewal of $3,166 is the renewal. A1 will maintain the credit status for the life of the policy. Last time it was ordered was in 2015.

If accident was set to non chargeable, then the policy would be $827 lower.

^ the above is for 2 EV's in the house hold: my RS e-tron GT and my other halfs i4 xdrive40, me being the one with my wrecked RS-etron GT last year on my record. the i4 is oddly more expensive to ensure...

Side Note about my total loss accident: They paid more then MSRP to VWCredit for my 2 month old car, of which VWCredit gave me a sizeable chunk of cash due (5 $ figures) to what was owed vs what Progressive Paid + gave me a pro-rated refund on my AudiCare. Received back waaaaaay more than my policy increase of $827/6 months (which should slowly decrease each renewal for the next 3 years).
