Default Question for Audi finance guys

Leased a black A5 Premium +, Nav and B&O 3 months ago. It has 800 miles on it. After I picked it up I realized black is a full time job and wished I had chosen Quartz. Neighboring dealer has the exact same car in quartz so my dealer would have to do something to acquire it from them.

How much do you think it would cost me to switch?

arm and a leg..

its not gonna be a switch, its going to be u selling ur car to the dealer, or early trade in..
with any doubt i would guess easy $10k..

waste of money for just a color change.. might as well go to a good detailer every week lol..
would be cheaper.

I think they just told you easily $10K without knowing your lease terms.

It's financially stupid, dude, deal with the black.

how about put it on the leasetrade and get the quartz once someone take the lease over? more work/time but cheaper than end-the-lease or buy-sell the black A5.

I'll agree with others, full detail once and use two-bucket wash when you can. Black when clean looks better than any other color IMHO.

if you haven't made the first payment, you could call your state commissioner and had that taken cared of, but if you have made a payment already... you will be in a world of hurt if you do what you are thinking... I suggest to take the time to maintain the black one.
