Default Negotiating a lower lease buyout deal?

I still have close to a year left on my 3 year lease but I was wondering if anyone knows if Audi leasing is willing to negotiate a lower lease buyout?

Thanks!

Most will tell you they don't.


FWIW, the residual is already well below FMV and you've got nice equity in the car - - whether you want it or not

NO!. Audi sets their lease residuals artificially low in the first place. No where to go down from there. Totally different story with BMW.

BMW won't negotiate either....unless you consider $500 negotiating.

AudiFS will/has negotiated on cars with horrible resale value and even makes preemptive offers (think C5 allroad) however since the S4 doesn't have horrible resale I wouldn't expect much.

BMWFS will make you turn the car over to the dealer who can then negotiate with you, and you can sometimes get a CPU for the buyout price, BMWFS will not offer anything.
