I might buy out early and sell to someone. How does it work?

Default early lease buyouts will cost you > $$>>>>

call Audi financial for a buyout price but it will not be pretty.
They do not make it easy or cheap to do.
There is some wiggle room for AoA if you are getting another Audi.
Loyalty discounts, dealer incentives, etc.
good luck

Default That's how I got my car. We did a lease buy-out.

But mine was kind of weird. It was a company car (althought I was not the driver), so I worked it out directly with Audi Financial.

If you want to buy out then sell -- you need to check the tax consequences. You want to avoid buying and owing sales tax -- the selling the buyer owing sales tax (two tax events).

As I understand it, in CA if you buy our your lease then sell the car within 10 days -- then only the end buyer (with the car) owes tax.

BTW, Audi is giving a decent (but not great) APR of 7%.
