The S5 lease thread

[JetskiJezz]

Can anyone confirm if the dynamic indicators are included as standard specification?

I'm sure I've read through something on one of the Audi websites that definitely said dynamic indicators were included in the standard specification, but I can't find it anywhere now and just wanted to double check.

Just the clarity, as I understand it the dynamic indicators are LED lights that flash in a sort of direction arrow pointing to the way you're turning.

Dynamic indicators are listed in the spec' on Audi.co.uk.

Good man, thanks very much. I knew I'd seen it somewhere just couldn't find it.

Dynamic indicators are only on the rears unless the matrix LEDs are optioned.

Thanks to the main leasing thread I've ordered an S5 coupe with the following spec;

Brilliant Black
Black interior
Virtual Cockpit
Folding Mirrors
Hill Hold Assist

I was looking at purchasing one but would of ended up spending £5K on options instead of £550. As this is my first lease it was interesting to really limit the options to the ones you really need as I normally private sell my cars and having a high spec one does make resale easier but not necessary when just handing the car back.

Received my order number and an unconfirmed build week of 4/2017 so hopefully on schedule for March delivery which presumably all these S5's need to to be registered by the end of otherwise the 24 month lease cost goes up by £440 in increased VED charges.

Well after a bit of back and forth with the broker the order form is in and job done

With my current (purchased not leased) A7 being an ex demo and therefore pretty much fully loaded I struggled to peel away any of the options I had on my original "wish list", but did manage to bin the privacy glass - so final spec is:

Navarra Blue
Rotor Grey interior
B&O Sound
Virtual Cockpit
Flat s/wheel
Folding heated mirrors
Hill hold assist

I know the lease mantra of minimal options etc, but have done the man maths and the total cost over the term will still work out at less than the A7 will have depreciated over 2 years come Feb/March, and that's buying an ex demo..

Have loved the grunt of the BiTdi engine but am looking forward to being able to rev something past 6k revs again..!

The sums work out at £2800 deposit and £440 flat month (all Inc VAT), so I'm basically paying £1k per annum for all the options, which I'm OK with to have pretty much want I wanted originally - just hope the colour combo works and that I like grey interior (I've done black, cream, red but never grey..)

Roll on February..

Ordered very similar spec.

Navarra Blue
Rotor Grey interior
B&O Sound
Virtual Cockpit
Flat s/wheel

Mine was £425 per month, 23 + 6.

Really can't wait.

Obviously a man of taste..

Accounting for the cost of the mirrors and hill hold (£300), it looks like your deal is about £300 cheaper over the term, so well done
Who was that through out of interest please?

Just checked the paper work and it's actually £434.99 per month, so same as really.

Such a nice spec!

Mine is fully ordered through my local dealer

Black with red leather (sure this will be a popular option!)

Virtual cockpit

Flat bottom

Other than the flat bottomed steering wheel that's exactly the same specification as mine. - I do hope you're happy enough to post pictures and your overall review of the car once you get yours as it sounds like it's going to be at least a month ahead of mine, possibly even a bit longer.
It's a shame there aren't any in the UK at the moment. Now that I placed my order I'm not sure if I want to go and sit in one or even drive one before it arrives although I suspect the temptation is going to get too much.

I've got the same spec as you. Can't wait - got a 335d drive to flog as my PCP ends in March. Or it goes back if I'm not in positive equity. will miss her!
Anyhow I got black and red leather with VC. All for 337 x 23 with 3600 down. I think you are 320 x 23 instead with same deposit. Great deal as fleetsause wouldn't budge for me on price.

The one thing I forgot to add when listening my specification earlier was that I am paying for the virtual cockpit as a separate upfront cost to the dealer, so my deal works out to the same as yours. It was £5 per month less than CLV (and they haven't got any allocation available).
My daily driver is a diesel 250 SLK, the lease ends in early January. I have a Jaguar F-type in the garage, but not about to start running it through the depths of winter. We have a family X5 that is sitting on the drive doing nothing at the moment, but intending to sell it over the next couple of months as it will definitely be surplus to requirements when the A5 arrives.
Just trying to work out whether I hang onto the X5 until the S5 arrives - current thoughts are to ditch it and pick up budget mk3 MX5 to play with for a few months.

Just had a look at my spec again and I've got the Light & Vision Pack, not just VC.

Anyone know what that adds in real terms? I just jumped on the deal without really looking in to it.

Thanks,

Can I ask who you went with? That deal looks great as you have over 2k worth of options!

I thought the light and vision pack gave you matrix front lights and extended led interior lighting, but could be wrong.

It's funny - whenever I've purchased a new car I've read up all about it analysed the options ahead of "PTT" - but with this lease it was a quick look and more of a "that'll do" mentality..

[gatdecore]

Those that have ordered have you been given an allocation number or confirmation in some form?

[NSS89]

I received order confirmation this morning from Fleetsauce.

I was surprised to see that its being financed through Hitachi Financial Services as I thought it would be VWFS.

Is it the same for everyone else?

[jacobyoung74]

Mine is VWFS with build week 49... ordered through dealer. Mines the coupe
