Default Go to the Audi site...

its will tell you what PP is...its basically like a Lease, but you own the car for the time....say 36 months...you can do to it as you chose mod wise, and at the end of the period you can buy it for the ballon ammount, refinance the residual or just give the car back.

Unlike a Lease, there is no negative hit for ending early and you can build equity on the term if youwant....

You wouldnt do something like this over 5 years...it would be 36 or 39 usually...you get 15K miles a year....

Check the webcite....

A3 and A4 lease or Premiere purchase prices are about the same if the A4 is 4-5K sticker more. Anything less then that, your paying less for the A4. So if you have an A3 at 28 and a A4 at 31.5 you will be paying less for the A4, due to a higher residular and much better money factors.

If you do a straight finance, both have 4.9% for 60 months.

Default Have not,,,but did get a good look and sit in it

Not impressed. They really cheapened out the interior. There is TOO much use of brushed alluminum in there....and it feels cheep. The two hump dash is fugly. There Nav system and Idrive blows.

Design on the outside is straight Japanees IMO.

B7>3 series, no doubt about it.

Do the lease terms get better with 3K down for a 36 mos. or is the B7 still a better deal?

Default Terms and money down is rather a moot point. If your doing a traditional finance...then any term is

fine....36 is like 2.9, 48 is 3.9 and 60 is 4.9...

Where your screwed in on a lease or premiere purchase, due to the really high % rates and a 50% and less residual. Your paying for alot more car. Make sense?

The loyalty money, what they gave me off the A4 and what they gave me for my car is what swung the deal fro me...as I purschase, and that was 4.9, same as the A3.

Default It's easy, you want a lease get an A4 Avant

If you want to lease a new Audi now the A4 is your best bet. Load both cars up and the A3 works out to be $20 a month more. However if you want DGS and an A3 suits you better you have to buy it.
