Replying to: td10001 (Feb 05, 2009 1:54 pm) What kind of price might I be able to negotiate to buy it at end of lease? Also had some significant mechanical issues early on (in the shop 30+ days), so they probably can't resell it as Certified Pre Owned, which may plan in my favor. Trying to decide whether to start new car shopping or to buy the Q7 at end of lease. Thanks! |

Replying to: ody02tjk (Nov 14, 2008 3:48 am) There are a million little things that annoy me about this vehicle, from the inexcusably loud beep it makes if you are low on gas or windshield wiper fluid to having to walk around to the other side of the vehicle to refuel only to realize I forgot to hit the button to unlock the gas tank (on the BMW I had previously, the tank was automaticaly locked when the doors were locked - brilliant). As much as the mags rave about Audi build quality and aesthetics, I liked my BMW much better. I'd get rid of this thing in a minute if I could, but Audi has terrible rules governing their leases and you basically cannot let someone take over the lease because you are still on the hook for the payments if the other person doesn't make them - who is willing to take that risk? Certainly not me. By the way, BMW and Mercedes do not have this rule and will let you sign the lease over to someone else cleanly. Just another reason I will never lease/purchase another Audi. I tried to trade it in a couple days before New Years, at a time when that dealer really wanted to make a deal and sell a remaining '08 before the end of the month/quarter/year. But I was offered less than $30,000 for a 15 mo old Q7 with < 12,000 miles that had a sticker of $56k. My lease payoff was $40,000, so I was over $10k in the hole. As much as he wanted to make a deal, he couldn't budge on the trade-in price - these things have no value used! I listed it in the local paper for $38,000, willing to pay a few grand to get out of the lease, and never got a single phone call. So this is something of a warning to anyone looking to lease one of these things. Understand the implications - you will have this vehicle for 3 years whether you want it or not. The various websites that give used car values (including Edmunds) are WAYYYY off on the Q7, overestimating by thousands both the dealer trade in values and private party values. If you insist on having a Q7, you should definitely look at buying a used one since the resale values are so poor, just check EBay.

Hello, I'll be off an Audi A6 2006 lease in four weeks and only have 17,000 miles on it after three years The residual value of the A6 2006 is $26,500 so is it worth it to buy it or return it? I'm also thinking of leasing a Q7 so what is the loyalty incentive, money factor and residual value of a premium package, 36 months and 10,000 miles per year should be for April? Thanks in advance.

Hi, What kind of deal did you get? Can you state the details? Thanks. |

Car man, Do you have the May lease numbers (money factor/resid) for the Q7? Specifically, a 2009 3.6 Premium 36 months/15K per year? Any other incentives on this vehicle that you are aware of? Thanks!
