If you take a step back, decide whether you want the car at this price which may not be duplicated elsewhere, it's likely a very good deal to you.
The car is definitely a good deal to us since the residual value is in the upper $23k but the current market value somewhere between $29 - $30k.

If they don't come down on the interest rate we can still buy it out in cash from Audi and then go to the Credit Union to take a loan for a partial financing of the car unless they only offer such low interest rate on a new vehicle.. We do not need to finance the car through Audi to get it certified.

An Audi dealer can buy the car from AFS or VW Credit at a cost that is lower than the leasors residual. But it is not thousnads of dollars lower. When I traded in my leased 2010 S4 and leased a 2014, the dealer payoff was $400 less than my residual.
