I paid $38,000 cash for a used 04 S4 with 6000 miles on it, in august of 05.
The guy who purchased it new, paid $54K. It was loaded and HE took the depreciation hit and gg tax.
Buying an every day driver car is never an investment.
Do a search on those who have written about their leases...the negatives far out weight the positives.

Had a 95 VR6 drove it 3 years and made 4300 and sold it outright to someone at the end of the lease, 99.5 1.8TQ sold it at the end of the lease and made 2700... VW/AUDI has their residuals set right IMO. If you buy used then my previous post does not apply, that info was not known. I've never bought (sloppy) seconds : )

You can also have someone assume your lease - either directly (and legit) - leaseswap.com and other sites.
Another option is a place like Celebrity Motorsports - it's a contract. I hit some rough spots financially, and did that with an 03 A4 3.0. Guy made every payment, and did insurance too. You run a risk, for sure - but my experience has been good.
I might be interested... but was looking for S4 Avant.

they are all balloon payment "Smart leases" or something similar. But a new car every 2-3 years witl average mileage you should come out ahead...agreed (unles you get a cear with rediculous lease rates).

Or I'm really good at negotiating leases. I leased my LR3 for a ridiculous price too but did buy my scion XB, and I drive the **** out of that. I don't like beating up the S every day
