Wish I would have waited until we had my wife's car paid off so I wouldn't have been constrained to looking only at leases and could have considered one of these from the start. Cliff notes are just that it might be the perfect daily. Quick enough to get around traffic with ease, handles beautifully at test drive speeds, and has a quiet, solid chassis and rattle free interior even at sub-30* temps. Part of me really wants to pull the trigger, part of me thinks that would be insane. Might just depend on what they'd give me on a trade, and if we're too far off on numbers it's not even worth considering.
Is something really wrong with the 2012s or is it more about the updates being worth paying the extra for? I remember reading way back about major steering issues with the '13s, I even came across one with a lemoned Carfax due to repeated steering problems. Was thinking I should avoid those, but unfortunately the '14+ cars are still expensive enough that I'd just ride out the lease and wait for them to come down.[user not found] wrote:Go B8.5 bro.
Don't do an early one.
That being said, the 3.0T is impressively reliable save for the typical german waterpump woes.
Yeah I like these a lot. Prices are really attractive too. See what the will give you for the rice rocket.coogles wrote: ↑Tue Dec 12, 2017 5:40 pm Drove dis today -

I liked it a ton. Still waiting to hear back from the . Dude was kind of a prick, so I don't have high hopes on that front.
So you'd get around 1k in plac profit for trading out early. However that would make it a really expensive ownershit for the first 9 months?! 10K?
Exactly. If it's 30k there's no way I'd consider this. I worked up the math and the breakeven for the rest of the lease term is about $33k on trade. Doubt they'd go that high, but we'll see.max225 wrote:So you'd get around 1k in plac profit for trading out early.

Yea... they are not bad... but S4's depreciate like crazy... that was a 65k-68k car after tax only a short 4 years ago... it lost an Entire STI of value in that time.
Not much more left to go starting at $25k though, if you keep it nice it will always be worth $10k. E90 M3's are in the same range now, I kind of want one but am still far too cheap to spend that kind of money.
This one had a sticker of $56.3k, probably gave her ~$22k on trade I'd guess. That'd be $34k and change plus tax in 5.5 years.max225 wrote:Yea... they are not bad... but S4's depreciate like crazy... that was a 65k-68k car after tax only a short 4 years ago... it lost an Entire STI of value in that time.
2010-14 but the auto sucks and the is rare as hell. Good car if you want a 4000 lb AWD sedanCalvinball wrote: ↑Wed Dec 13, 2017 6:04 pm I forget what year they stopped so maybe they are too old now, but when I was considering cars in the mid-20ks a few years ago, it seemed like a good deal was the Acura TL with SH-AWD. I’ve never driven one, but it had decent power and that awd system sounding neat on paper.

Looks like S4s had some price creep as well. Most 15 models I was looking at were 60-62k MSRP.coogles wrote: ↑Wed Dec 13, 2017 6:20 pmThis one had a sticker of $56.3k, probably gave her ~$22k on trade I'd guess. That'd be $34k and change plus tax in 5.5 years.max225 wrote:

Porker for sure, but looking for a used awd large sedan, seems like a good option.troyguitar wrote:2010-14 but the auto sucks and the is rare as hell.
