DRIVING away in an Audi has never been more convenient.

PGA Cars Inc., in cooperatio­n with BDO (adjudged Finance Asia’s Best Asian Bank for 2013), has introduced the Audi Premium Lease program.

Freed from the commitment of outright purchase, car leasing is an attractive propositio­n that gets rid of the upfront cash outlay. There is no down payment, guarantee deposit or even processing fee. “It’s a sound, practical option for people who want the benefits of driving or being driven in an Audi while preserving their funds for other uses,” said Miguelito Jose, Audi sales director.

Since the vehicles are leased, companies looking for premium transporta­tion will not be burdened by the high acquisitio­n cost. Furthermor­e, the rental can be booked as company expense. In addition, Audi Philippine­s has included in the package, for the duration of the lease, Land Transporta­tion Office registrati­on, comprehens­ive insurance, round-theclock roadside assistance, periodic maintenanc­e services—on top of the standard manufactur­er’s warranty. These promise even greater savings and convenienc­e.

Lessees can take their pick of any Audi vehicle in the stable—all impressive­ly brandnew upon commenceme­nt of lease.

The standard lease period lasts 36 months and is renewable for another two years after the term. The monthly rental can come out to as low as P44.922.88 a month (for an A1) all- in. A reasonable 15,000- kilometers- per- year mileage cap applies. “There are no other fees, save for the monthly rental. It can’t get any simpler than that,” Jose said.

And for people new to Audi, leasing is surely a savvy way to become familiar with the qualities and benefits of the premium stable of vehicles. Should the customer fall in love with the vehicle— a very real possibilit­y— a chance for outright purchase is available at a mutually agreed market value.

“When we conceived of the service, we wanted everything geared towards the customer and providing him/her the convenienc­e of and opportunit­y to experience the brand values of Audi vehicles. I sincerely think everyone deserves that,” Jose added.

You could say it’s about lease is more or, rather, getting more for lease.
