Yes if Contract has no mention of this then Class Action law suit against VW or Audi Financial.
These companies makes tons of $$ with fees associated with lease, then fees with turn in lease then again fees if one opt to Buy after a lease. If you Add these lease fees it’s easy 3k for doing nothing.
I just bought my GTI from VW Financial after lease over. Drove only 12k in 3yr on a 36k miles lease.
No issues in getting a payoff and finance through a Credit Union . Just pay state Tax nothing else .
I think Audi Finances and VW finances should have same policies same parent company VW.
