Default Anyone Want To Takeover My Lease?

Trying to get rid of my Q5:

2012 Audi Q5 2.0t Premium Plus w/ Comfort Access. No Nav or MMI.
12,700 miles

Monthly payment is $650 a month.

Lease term is 39 months @ 10k miles a year, I've had it for 10 months now.

Black on black, very well kept.

Anyone interested?

+1 I never knew it was so expensive to lease. I got the same car plus Nav/MMI and only paying $100 more per month to own while putting almost nothing down.

I guess it's not bad when I think about it though. With the lease you're only tied down for 39 months whereas if you got a loan, it's probably 60 months. There's pros and cons to both.

Leasing is only for people who likes to change cars every 3yrs or if they got too much money in their bank account.

Leasing is a bad investment compared to financing. After financing the car for 5yrs. No more payments will be made. As for leasing 3yrs of leasing then return the car, nothing comes back to you. so if you figure an example:

1st car:
23,4000 3yrs of leasing

2nd car:
23,4000 3yrs of leasing

3rd car:
23,400 3yrs of leasing

Total: $70,200.00 9yrs

Finacing: $45,000 for 5yrs
after 5yrs $0.00 (has a trade in value for a newer car)which gives the leaser nothing to down on a new car.

difference: you would have $25,200 in your pocket for future purchase ontop of trade in value.

When you put it that way, it does sound much more expensive to lease. I think I financed over $43k (as I said, very small down payment), but I got a 1.9% rate so it was a good deal. I think we already hijacked the OP's thread, sorry :-(

How many months?

That doesn't sound bad at all. Looking to buy soon and would love to get that kind of payment.

You are comparing running a 9 years old car versus a brand new car every 3 years. Of course it will be cheaper! Audi Canada has a payment estimator and here are the numbers for a 2013 Audi Q5 Premium:

36 month lease @ 3.9% = $807 (23,926 residual value)
Lease cost: 807 x 36 = $29,055

36 month finance @ 2.9% = $1,507
Finance cost: 1,507 x 36 = 54,258 - 23,926 = $30,331

Lease is cheaper because you only pay taxes on what you used versus paying the taxes on the full amount for finance.
