Default Spoke to Audi dealership about lease end options/mods on the S6...

I'm a little bummed, because I spoke to my preferred dealership today about my lease coming due soon. He said I have two options: 1) buy it out for $30k, 2) The dealership purchases the car from Audi, certifies it, then sells it to me for an agreed upon price with warranty. I intended to go with option #2, because I thought I could fit in some high-priced mods into the new payment.

But, the kicker is that they can't add any mods like BBK, RS6 kit, etc., into the payment. I would have to fund those personally separate from the new payment.

This sucks, because this is a company car and I wanted them to add it to my payment. I can't personally afford the other stuff.

WAAHHHHHHHH!!!! Who's got a violin? I need crying music... Now, who's going to finance my mod bug???

Default Banks got wise to customers rolling all kinds of mods into a loan, when those mods

did not add anything to the value of the car (it used to be that you could roll wheels into a lease, and have it bump up the residual slightly - not any more) and in fact could lower the value of a vehicle. So they limit how much over the Blue Book (or whatever evaluating service they use) a car can be financed for. Usually it's 10%.

If it were me I'd still buy the car. Just start saving for the mods :-) One at a time.

Default Not sure about financing your mod bug - but if you go the new car route

you could have a line of us wanting to buy out your lease at 30K :-)

Default LOL...That made me look at resale values: private $42.7k; retail $47k; tradein $38k..

I guess if I purchased it now, I could sell it for a great profit to lay down on another ride and still have room to give someone an awesome deal.
