Default anyone leasing instead of buying?

Never leased but am considering for the first time (prefer a lower payment, etc). Do you expect to buy out, sell, or return? I guess one could speculate on residual value and sell it at lease end (some claim they can turn a profit doing this). Any particularly good terms anyone can report?

Default I leased, and got a hell of a deal!

$550 / month for 39 months with nothing down except title / reg fees.
I may buy out in the end , but will most likely opt for new one.

Hope this helps

Default Stay away from the Audi lease (VW Credit)

I leased through Audi because it was painless, but I got a lousy deal. In fact, I'm thinking of buying it out early. It's $650/mo, 36 mo., zero dollars out of pocket, 10,000 miles/yr.

I only drive about 7,500 miles a year, so I tend to have a higher value than the calculated residual, making it worthwhile to buy the car at the end of the lease term. I usually like to change cars about every two to three years, but the TT is a keeper.

Default Re: anyone leasing instead of buying?

I would definitely suggest a lease as long as it is only for the covered warrenty period. (Currently 4 years I think) I have leased my 2000 TTCQ and plan to return it at the end of the lease and get a newer TT. You know by then there will be better options, or maybe even a TTS. I leased mine and was able to get the payment under $400.
