Default Ouch. Got a quote from Commonwealth Audi.. lease is not so hot

MF of .00357 (8.5%APR) - 24 month residual is 55%, 36 mos is 46%. 15k/yr (i only need 10k tho). That is massive depreciation. I calculated the payments (105K MRSP) for 24 mos at 2595 with no cap reduction. terrible! Is this typical for those of you that have looked at leasing? might as well own it for less.

Default Yep

Yep, bet their residual insurance policies must have gone through the roof over the last several years too!

Default Roadfly has a Finance/Lease section

Tarry from leasecompare.com answers many questions on that board. He may be able to direct you towards better lease terms than AoA.<ul><li><a href="http://forums.roadfly.com/forums/financing/">Contact Tarry</a></li></ul>

Default Thanks. I spec'd out an M6 w 73% residual, 24 mos. lower MF. might jump..

I love the S8, but I'm single. If it doesnt pencil, I'll find a substitute. Obviously they are totally different, but I appreciate them both for what they are, in their respective arenas.

Default I'm in the same position, single looking at D3s

The lease terms from AoA are tough to swallow.
Saw the black M3 w/19s pic in your gallery. I have a black M3 with 19s, but it lives with forged magnesium BBS wheels and Michelin PS2s currently. The Noble looks fun. Where do you track?

Default I too am looking and those are the same numbers I get.

WTF??

They are asking so much for these cars and they are worth nothing in a year. I need a new car but I'm not paying what they ask.

The best or worst part is that I can easily afford it. I just feel like I'm getting screwed.

Default Yea I sold the M3 a few years ago an got E500 (gone). So onto M6 i think..

I track the Noble at willow springs and spring mountain. Occasional auto-x. Its been in the shop getting custom standalone haltec, exhaust, water/air charge cooler, etc.

Default Yea, thats why I can not consider this car. After driving the M6, I am sold

S550 is too ugly and nav is still horrible. A8 is underpowered for me. 750, maybe... E55 but I just got rid of E500. I think I will enjoy a GT while I am single. My friends cand walk!
