Default Holy hell, I haven't been here in years! Thinking of coming back to Audi...

Hi everyone, I still have my old sig I see

Since I leased my 2001 A4 until 2005 I have had a 2002 325 coupe (financed)...but my CPO warranty is expiring next month. I want to lease again, and love the new A4s.

I found a great lease special...but not sure if I should wait for the B8s (damn they're sexy)

What you think?

New Audi A4 2.0 CVT:
Auto Transmission
Metallic Paint
Premium Package
Sport Suspension
Bluetooth

Down Payment: $999
Refudable Security: $0
Acquisition Fee: $575
First Month's Payment: $333
Amount Due @ Lease Inception: $1,899

MSRP of the car is $33k

Total paid toward car over 36 months: $13k

Default definitely skip the CVT. unreliable transmission + FWD = no good.

You should be able to get a quattro tiptronic for ~$20-30 more/mo.

on the B6 yes, haven't seen any issues with the (new) B7/C6 CVT, but understand your stance on CVT

CVT in B7 is solid & gets good mileage, plus you are under warranty
