March 26-27th ish.

I'm told the residual will be around $32k... which is low enough for me to strongly consider buying it at the end of the lease... especially if the supercharger's shown to make good power. Although, who knows what gas will be in two years, and if these things will tank in value even further.

Anyhow, 3 more weeks and it'll finally be mine! Can't wait!

Damn - I thought you had it already. 3 weeks is like 6 months in "car waiting" years

Default I would take that residual after 2 years.

You have to remember this is not a common car, and I seriously predict it will go up in value in 10-15 years. Especially as people keep smoking theirs into guardrails and light poles and walls. or snow plows run them over. Just look at it like this: ~2500 imported to the US, and in 5-8 years there will be a large drop in the population of these due to crashes because teenagers will be buying them. Take care of the car and keep it as a long term collector.

Damn I need to get an All Road so I can take this one off the road.

Default no matter, its priceless to me.

And I do think it will be a collectible eventually. After I sneak around and destroy all the rest with Limburger cheese on the manifold. Trust me that smell never comes out. People will be throwing the cars away.

I think a nice 2.7t allroad with RS6 turbos would be a great companion to the RS4
