Lease an RS4 Cab
I have two left. Daytona Gray on gray with carbon fiber & Phantom Black on black with aluminum.
36/15 is $1440+tax with $2100 down.
Still have strong finance rates as well.
Email me if you're interested or have questions.

It's a buyers market...
Remember that when you purchase a car now, you should be getting the absolute best finance rates/lease rates ever. The economy is only going to continue getting worse and luxury automobile dealers will suffer greatly without your business.
How quickly we seem to forget when the RS4 came out and they were selling above MSRP with ridiculously high finance/lease rates. How the tides have turned....

Re: It's a buyers market...
What was the lease rate on the cabs when they came out? Even this seems high (I recently got a call from a local BMW dealer offering the 08' M5 under $1200, considering the sticker is higher than on the RS4 cab, similar terms) And the X6 lease was higher than on the M5!.

Those rates are not bad at all. I recall leasing out $65K A8s for about these numbers
and we were making no money on the deal.
Depending on the money factor, allow about $24 per month for every $1000 discount. So on a car with over $1K per month payment, the dealer's margin is not as influential in the final payment as some people might think. $100 a month in the case of the RS4 is not chicken feed, but people expecting dealers to create miracles when they do not control residuals or money factors, is pointing to the wrong place IMHO.

$5 gas doesn't affect my thinking in choice of car.
at ALL. I'd spend $10/gal for 100 octane if there was a station that carried it near me....and if there was decent chip tuning to take advantage of 100 octane.

$5 Gas didn't affect my decision to buy an S6 last month.
Why would an extra 1500 or 2000 per year in gas cost effect the purchase of an $80,000 V10 ?
I laugh at stories of people trading their SUV at a 6000 or 7000 loss to buy a new hybrid that will take many years to recoup the cost. I am all for people buying hybrids if thats what they want but some people don't seem to think things through.

Glad to hear it...
but you're in the minority, even at this level.
As for trading out of gas guzzling SUV's for a hybrid, you will recoup losses fairly immediately. You're in at a lower monthly payment(interest too), gas cost is exponentially reduced, and you can write off the loss on the SUV in some cases.
People who claim gas prices mean nothing to them make me laugh. What is it, bravado? It's killing us in all methods of transportation costs, food, all other retail, cutting into kids college, your retirement, forcing new priorities, sacrifices...one way or another no one is immune to a quadrupling of gas prices.
And the ONLY way that can be reversed is like in the early 80's when all cars were fuel efficient and there resulted an oil glut, with prices dropping to close to $10 per barrel on the open market.
Let's not kid ourselves here.
