I am wondering what steps I need to go through to purchase my A4 when the lease is up in a couple months. The dealer originally told me when I got the car that I could come back and give them the car to have it certified as a pre-owned vehicle so that I would have the longer warranty. Do I need to even deal with them or do I let Audi financial know and sort out the financing and payments with them? Any help is appreciated.

If you turn the car in, you lose complete control over it.

Just call your leasing agent (AFS) and tell them you want to buy the car...they will send you a buyout quote.

What thing I'm not sure about is that you'll probably have to pay sales tax AGAIN on it either way you go.

you should also get a letter from AFS about buying out

Just give Audi Financial a call if they haven't contacted you already. You can get the purchase going by faxing or mailing a couple of things. You shouldn't involve the dealer. An extended warranty is likely to be much cheaper from a third party like warrantydirect.com - but it's still expensive.
Audi might try to convince you to buy the car before the lease is up, but you might as well wait. I waited until the last day to buy mine. The paperwork took so long to go through that payments didn't start for another 2 months.
