I love the hell out of this car, but it is time to part ways.
Asking for a bit of cash upfront to keep the bums away, and recoup some of the unused miles.
The car is in Seattle,WA - cross posting in OR since its a low volume model.

Obligatory mention that Audi holds you responsible until the lease matures. You’re more or less adding another party to the existing contract that will takeover the payments.
Its prolly a mix of dealers, boutique auto sales, and private party leases.
I did a quick check for A6’s on SAL - there’s only 12 of them nationwide and half are actually loan offers.
The private leases are going to work the same way regardless of which site the offer is posted on.
Got some folks asking me if I can waive the money down, so just sharing a comparison to a July broker offer for the same MSRP A6 as seen on the marketplace.
$734/mo + tax (no MSD)
$3.2K DAS + $1.2K for shipping to Seattle.
For sure, If im not mistaken the transfer is just $500. So it’s still $4k+ cheaper - $2400 saved in monthly payments, $1900 lower DAS. And the commitment is 2yrs vs 3yrs. The broker probably charges a fee on top as well, I didnt investigate that.
People want to drive an A6 but pay the price of a 3 series.
