Luxury made more affordable: Audi introduces Premium Lease program

MANILA, Philippines - Everyone wants to own a piece of luxury—whether it’s prime real estate or the latest handcrafted Swiss watch, owning something premium gives a sense of pride and accomplishment to any individual. Of course, nothing spells success better than a brand-new car; especially one that comes from the equally accomplished designers and engineers at Audi.

Now, owning a brand-new Audi is made easier and more affordable as PGA Cars, Inc., the country’s exclusive distributor of Audi vehicles, in cooperation with Finance Asia’s Best Asian Bank for 2013, BDO, is introducing the Audi Premium Lease program.

Car leasing is somewhat a new proposition here in the Philippines, but it has been quite successful in countries such as Singapore. Where the typical mindset is commonly geared more towards car ownership rather than rental, car leasing took of slowly. However, it has begun to boom thanks to people appreciating the benefits of car leasing such as not having extra costs in driving a brand-new car with the exception of the monthly lease fee and, of course, gasoline.

Now, citing upbeat economic factors and a booming automotive industry, PGA Cars, Inc. is opening its Audi Premium Lease program to both individual and corporate customers. With no money out, customers can drive home with their dream Audi vehicle. There’s no down payment, no processing fee, no guarantee deposit. In addition, during the entire duration of the lease, the low monthly lease fee covers LTO registration, comprehensive insurance, 24-hour roadside assistance, and even periodic maintenance services on top of manufacturer’s warranty. This allows customers to allocate their savings for other needs.

And through the Audi Premium Lease program, customers save not only on the usual down payment and chattel mortgage fees but on capital-related expenses such as depreciation. This makes the Audi Lease Program very business-friendly, a huge plus to those with concerns in their tax books.

At the end of every Audi Premium lease term, the customer even has the chance of ownership at a mutually agreed market value of the unit, begin another lease on a new Audi vehicle, or end the lease altogether.

“What I really appreciate about the leasing program is how it allows businesses to enjoy the benefits of a leasing program by getting more than just depreciation costs, savings on chattel mortgage and maintenance related expenses during the entire lease period,”said Audi Sales Director, Miguelito Jose.

The Audi Premium Lease allows customers to discover and explore the various benefits of owning an Audi with a more reasonable financing option that normal loans simply don’t offer. Plus, the Audi Premium Lease suits customers with various driving preferences as it covers all Audi vehicles.

With the Audi Premium Lease, people can stop dreaming about owning their dream Audi; they simply need to head over to the nearest showroom and discover “Vorsprung durch Technik” or Progress through Technology for themselves. Owning an engineering masterpiece hasn’t been this cost-effective.
