Audi Financial Services is our captive financing company. They offer superior Purchase or Lease Services. No Matter What Road You Choose.
You may wonder; should I purchase or lease? Purchasing makes sense if
you don't part easily with your automobile, no matter how many miles
clocked; or if you have a considerable daily commute. The most
compelling reason of all, of course, is that your new Audi belongs to
you and you alone.

By leasing, you only pay for the portion of your Audi that you use,
which results in lower monthly payments. Your savings can continue in
some states thanks to leasing tax advantages.* You also get a commitment
from us to protect your Audi when things go wrong. It's something known
as GAP (Guaranteed Asset Protection) coverage and it comes standard
with every Audi Financial Services lease. In short, when you lease
through Audi Financial Services, you get maximum performance and maximum
peace of mind.

Fully Explore Your Options. When trying to decide whether to
purchase or lease, you should rely on the same level of thoughtfulness
and thoroughness you used to select your Audi. After all, selecting the
right option isn't entirely a numbers game. You also need to factor in
considerations such as how much you drive, the type of roads you travel
on, and the extent to which you want to personalize your Audi with
aftermarket accessories.
Answer the questions below to fully explore your financing options.
In a year, I typically drive:
- 10,000 - 12,000 miles per year (relatively short daily commutes with the occasional road trip).
- Purchase consideration Your anticipated
mileage is very low. This may increase the value of your Audi if you
decide to sell it after completing your loan payments.
- Lease consideration Your anticipated mileage
is very low. This is good news, because Audi Financial Services leases
are typically based on an allowance of 10,000, 12,000 or 15,000 miles
per year. The lower the mileage the less your payment will be.
- Around 15,000 miles (modest daily commutes with room for road trips).
- Purchase consideration Your anticipated
mileage is low. This may increase the value of your Audi if you decide
to sell it after completing your loan payments.
- Lease consideration Your anticipated mileage of 15,000 miles a year is within the range of our typical lease mileage allowance.
- More then 15,000 miles (long daily commutes of more than 60 miles round trip).
- Purchase consideration Because you own the car, you don't have to worry about mileage restrictions.
- Lease consideration Our leases are typically
based on an allowance of 15,000 miles per year. But if you know right
from the start that you will drive more than 15,000 miles a year, you
can buy miles upfront at a discount.
When it comes to personalizing my Audi:
- I'll add standard options, but that's about it.
- Purchase consideration Outfitting your Audi
with standard options and packages will minimally increase your monthly
payments, given that your costs are amortized over the term of your
loan. As well as providing you with an enhanced driving experience, the
options and packages you choose when you purchase your Audi may raise
the value of your vehicle.
- Lease consideration Outfitting your new Audi
with standard options and packages will enhance your driving experience
while minimally increasing your monthly payments, given that your costs
are amortized over the term of your lease.
- I plan to add some interior and exterior aftermarket accessories, such as sunshades, a cycle rack, and wheels.
- Purchase consideration. It's your Audi. You can add as many aftermarket accessories as you like.
- Lease consideration While leased vehicles must
be returned without modification, keep in mind that sometimes you can
transfer the Audi aftermarket accessories you buy for your current Audi
to your next one.
- I plan to add a lot of aftermarket accessories.
- Purchase consideration It's your car. You can customize your Audi however you like.
- Lease consideration Because leased vehicles
must be returned without modifications, you may not want to spend a lot
of money on significant accessories.
I will frequently drive my Audi on:
- Well-maintained roads and highways.
- Purchase consideration Judging solely from the
type of roads you intend to travel down, it's likely the wear and use
on your vehicle will be minimal. This may increase the value of your
Audi if you decide to sell it after completing your loan payments.
- Lease consideration Judging solely from the
type of roads you intend to travel down, it's likely the wear and use on
your vehicle will be minimal. Minimal wear and use means you probably
won't be subject to the excess wear and use charges that sometimes occur
at the end of a lease.
- Rough back roads.
- Purchase consideration Frequent journeys down
unpaved roads can increase the wear and use on a vehicle. While you
certainly want to be mindful of any damages, as the owner of the car you
don't have to worry about excess wear and use charges that sometimes
occur at the end of a lease.
- Lease consideration You'll want to take the
road slow and also be mindful of any damages, such as scratches to the
sheet metal and cracks to the windshield, as these may contribute to the
excess wear and use charges that sometimes occur at the end of a lease.
- Both of the above.
- Purchase consideration It's hard to predict
how your Audi will age given the many types of roads you intend to
travel down. Unpaved roads, of course, may increase the wear and use on
your vehicle. But as the owner of the car you don't have to worry about
excess wear and use charges that sometimes occur at the end of a lease.
- Lease consideration It's hard to predict how
your Audi will age given the many types of roads you intend to travel

that sometimes occur at the end of a lease.
I intend to hold onto my Audi for:
- Definitely less than four years.
- Purchase consideration If you truly want a new
vehicle in less than four years, you may want to consider leasing. The
advantages to leasing are lower monthly payments, not to mention
avoiding the hassles of negotiating a trade-in value and possibly
unexpected depreciation at the end of your contract.
- Lease consideration By leasing, you'll have
lower monthly payments, not to mention avoiding the hassles of
negotiating a trade-in value and possibly unexpected depreciation at the
end of your lease.
- Maybe four years. Maybe longer.
- Purchase consideration Purchasing is often
more advantageous if you intend to have a long-term relationship with
your Audi. Still, it's your vehicle, so once you've reached the end of
your Audi Financial Services contract, it's all yours.
- Lease consideration Leasing is often
more advantageous if you intend to have a short-term relationship with
your Audi. However, when you've reached the end of your Audi Financial
Services lease contract, you have the option to hold onto your Audi by
purchasing it.
- Definitely more than four years.
- Purchase consideration If you plan to have a
long-term relationship with your Audi, purchasing is often more
advantageous, since with each payment you build equity in the vehicle.
- Lease consideration Although, we have a
variety of lease terms to suit your needs, you may want to consider
purchasing if you truly want to hold onto your Audi for more than four
years. Purchasing is often more advantageous, since with each payment
you build equity in the vehicle.
