Default Trading 2015 Daytona Gray RS5 Coupe

My life is requiring four doors, so I'm letting my car go with only 11k miles on it and in immaculate condition...

I'm currently on a lease, and am negotiating with local dealerships to buy back the car and terminate the lease. It would seem that the Audi lease rules force me to sell the car to an Audi dealer (as competing brands have to pay an inflated fair market value, not lease payoff). I'm not buying another Audi, which puts me in a weak negotiating position.

Any tips? Or even better, anyone in South Florida interested in an in and out at a dealership

Some pictures of your car and part of the country you're in, would help. And placing in the classifieds with any upgrades, if it has Audicare and services already performed. In service date etc.

You always have the option to buy the car for the lease pay-off amount shown on your account. You could then "sell" the car to whatever dealer you are going to buy the next car from.

She doesn't want to look at an A6? A great 4 door car.....

Default Make sure you give CarMax a chance at buying it out...

… they work on smaller margins. I have friends who have been successful at terminating leases with them. You might even find a car you want :-)

My next door neighbor just bought a 2014 Porsche 911 GTS from Car Max. He now has two 911's in his garage. When he fires it up to go to work (around 5:30am), I often go out and just watch it go by and give him a wave.
