Does anybody know the RS4 residual value for 1 year lease program? The dealer quoted me 68% for 1 year & 10K and 64% for 2 years and 10K. They both appear to more than 10% lower than the lease info released by Sparkhill dated 08/2006. I could not believe that AFS depreciate the limited edition car more than 30% for the first year. I very kindly thank everybody in advance for a response before I will contact the dealer again.

from what your dealer is telling you, it looks like the residuals have taken a big hit. There are several possibilities. It may be true. Your dealer may not be telling you everything or may have simply made a mistake - you could always ask to look at the rate sheet or shop around to local banks. Their could be other extenuating factors too.

Leasecompare.com had pretty good rates a while back but they no longer even list the RS4. If you are willing to buy your car in California and have it shipped, shoot me an email and I will put you in contact with one of my friends.
