did you lease, buy or finance your car? I am asking b/c my mothers friend knows nothing about cars or money/rates, and wants a new audi! I am excited b/c I may have recruited another Audi owner! Just not sure about the numbers though. She wants to lease prob 3-4 yrs, B7 2.0T. Any advice I should tell her? options? Thanks

from this guy on Edmunds.com in their lease forum.

is the way to go. Depending on the mileage she's going to use it would be somewhere around the $450 per month range. And tell her not to put any money down

now I can be more confident about what I know when we go to the dealer this afternoon.

but it's just lost money, you'll never see it again.

No need to prepay on your lease...keep the money in your pocket.

If the car is totalled or stolen, your downpayment is gone forever...unless its in the bank!

are handing out decent deals.

36months, 0 down $467month. this is for a 2005 2.0t with premium and cold weather. she didnt want to spend this much so she is thinking about it. hopefully she will go for the extra money, she was hoping to stay in the low $400's. BTW the she is a friend of my family that needs help/advice in getting a new car.
