Default huh ?

What do you mean ?
1.You can just "return" the vehicle @ lease end to your dealer.
If you lease another Audi/VW vehicle they will waive the deposit and even credit you $$$ from a lease loyalty program they offer.
2. You can purchase the vehicle directly from VW/Credit and avoid any excess charges for mileage,wear and tear,or disposition costs.

Did you hear anything other than the above ?

Default "What are you saying?" <Howard Stern sound clip>

When the lease is up, you return it or buy it. That's how it works.

Default yes I was told I could only purchase my current vehicle or return it!

meaning even if I return my car and would like to re lease it from the dealer I am not gauranteed getting the car. The dealer apparenetly does not have control of the vehicle after I turn it in. Granted the guy at VW credit was a few sandwiches short of a picnic

Default Leasing a "used" car is ALWAYS at a higher rate.

Just take out a loan and buy it from VW.
Unless you got an original low lease rate with a high residual value..then your screwed
