At a loss for what to do at the end of your Audi lease? Let Audi Lafayette help you explore your options.
So, you're nearing the end of your Audi lease. You've cherished your Audi vehicle over the last few years, enjoyed its full potential and responsibly maintained it to the best of your ability. But now, as the months tick down to weeks or even days before the end of your lease, you find yourself at a crossroads, wondering what to do next. But don't fret, because the end of your lease can afford you some fantastic opportunities, and we want to help you take advantage of all your options here at Audi Lafayette.
We're proud to accept all Audi vehicles at the end of a lease and offer help on financing, even if you didn't lease your Audi from us! But most importantly, we want to help explain your end of lease options to you, so that you can find the right choice for you, your family, and your future plans.
Option 1: Buy your Lease Audi
At Audi Lafayette, it's pretty safe to say that we love our Audi vehicles, and if you've leased one, chances are you do too! So, if you find that you're at the end of your lease, but not quite done driving your Audi vehicle, guess what? You can buy it! That's right, one of the great things about leasing an Audi is that you agree to a buy-out price at lease signing, so if you want to own your leased Audi outright, all you'll be responsible for is:
- The agreed upon purchase price
- All outstanding unpaid charges - late charges, past due payments, personal property taxes, and traffic or parking violation fees are among the most common.
- Sales or use tax, if applicable under state or local law
- The purchase option fee
- Any title and registration fees required by the DMV
Option 2: Return your Audi
So, you've driven your Audi and enjoyed it, but now you want to move on to other automotive opportunities? No worries! The freedom to simply return your vehicle rather than go through the hassle of selling it privately is one of the many great things about leasing an Audi vehicle, and we'll happily handle that return here. Just remember to do these four things before you hand over the keys.
