So I leased a new Audi Q8 etron 2024 2 months ago. The car has been good and I love it so far. I got a good deal on it as well. There was a lot of incentives ($14,000 off from MSRP).
I was just thinking about this possibility. If you guys could help me with it.
Since all the incentives I got was for leased cars in Audi (They don’t offer it for finance or buying the car), can I go to an Audi dealership, ask them to buyout the car from me and I get the same car (different color this time)?
The pay off quote I have now is $61,000.
Just putting this for extra information:
I live in California.
I got the car for $710 monthly payment(incl. tax) and $5K down payment. The annual mileage is 12K.
Here is the deal link:
What makes you sure they will offer you at buyout? A lot of dealers will give you crap trade in cause they know you got the incentives. This is where the EQS falls into line. Car is over $100K but the trade in value is in the 50s-60s cause MB is offering so many incentives.
At $710 a month, that seems like a good deal. I would take that off your hands on lease transfer but Audi still keeps you on the hook credit wise sadly
I see. It makes sense, since it seems too good to be true.
I’m guessing it’s the same thing with etrons. 2019 etrons are selling at a crazy rate around $35K!!
Haha thanks mate. I think you still can get the same deal if you go to an Audi dealership.
Oh no, it won’t be free. You will probably owe, so that negative equity will be rolled into the new lease, plus fees, taxes, etc. Your new lease payments will be higher.
Imagine $5000 in cash. Put that cash in a clear large open area. Take some gasoline, sprinkle it on the cash, and light it on fire. How do you feel?
If you feel fine, then yes go ahead with your plan. if not… ride it out
