I'm thinking about how my next lease lines up with the next generation S4. Ideally my lease would end 6 months after launch of the next gen to avoid dealer gouging at launch. Thoughts?

it works out to be about $1000/mo including 8% tax. I did this with Imola but the problem is that you start considering ONE day in the shop or out of service an outrage because you only have the car for 730 days! You can imagine why I lemoned it the day after it had been out of service for 30 days.

I prefer short-term leases because part of the whole point of leasing is because you change cars and ALWAYS have a payment and don't really use the "equity" in the car (if it has any).

I would do it for 48 because thats how long the warranty is..after that you have to pay for service

it makes sense because any dollar you "spend" on a leased car is a huge waste of money.

if you get 15k/yr, that works out very close to the warranty mileage. I just got mine like that, 0 down, 640/mo. They have special money factors and the loyalty program until 9/30/01. On a lease, they waive the acq fee(about 450) and the 1st month pmnt1

did my 24 month for $770/month - nothing down.

Too much to make a profit selling it private party! That's a "turn in" for sure. ;-)
