I'm thinking of getting the 2009 A4 2.0 manual in the spring. With premium & navigation package.

I'm not sure whether to lease or finance. Here's the issue: I put about 55,000 kms/year on my car and if I buy the car it will only be worth a few grand after 4 years and 200,000+ kms. If I lease though then I pay a TON for the extra kms, however I don't have to worry about any problems with the car once I'm done with it.

Current trade in = $2500
and willing to put another $5000 down.

Any suggestions/advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

 

Not sure that a dealer would be interested in leasing a vehicle for that annual mileage; you'll be out of factory warranty after about 18 months. if you got an extended warranty that might get you up to year 3 depending upon the mileage limit and you'll still be on your own for that last year anyway. My suggestion would be to buy a much cheaper car (non Audi) and replace after 12-18 months. You'll take a depreciation hit but it will likely be far less than that on an extremely high mileage, 2yr old Audi. My 2c worth....
