I broke my 3 rules of car buying...

[@MrANP21]

Ed more than likely did a 1 year, one-pay lease. The amount of upfront rebate money on the RS e-tron GT for a lease is $32,500. The one-pay lease component buys down the money factor. The residual value after 1 year (assuming 7,500 miles) and with the addition of Audi Care is 70%. When you discount the car heavily, and apply all rebates/incentives, you get a one-pay lease amount of around $3,000-$5,000 for the entire year (including tax/license fees). When he quotes a $250/month lease he is simply dividing the one-pay lease amount by 12 months to give an example of what his cost would be per month. There’s a little more to it, but everyone should now get the picture.

[@BrianYYH]

Thank you this helps a lot!

[@alansouza3853]

[@TheMrRichard]

That'd be a situation where they'd have to pay me $500/m to take it!! @@rkan2

[@swankperfection]

Even this doesn’t make any sense. Unless it’s an overly inflated residual even above your estimated 70%, there is no way you’re paying $250/mo for a $150,000 car. Listen, pretend I’m stupid because there’s a chance I am and don’t understand this bs scheme lease this friend of his worked out and type out all the numbers on an example lease summary because without those numbers in front of me, the math just doesn’t add up. TLDR… “Show your work.” Let’s see it. Lol (Edit) OK, never mind. What Ed forgot to mention is that HE MOST DEFINITELY traded in his wife’s AMG to get this deal. Without ~$25k of trade-in value, you’d be paying about a grand a month for the lease. With the trade-in, it’s in the $260 a month range. 🙄

My first thoughts were: 1. what’s wrong with it; 2. how many times has it be stolen; 3. how many times has it been written off; It can’t be all there for Ed to buy it.

We rented a 'regular' eTron on a trip a while back. The adaptive cruise control in the Audi is nothing short of brilliant. You just have to dig around in the menus a little bit, and you'll find that you can set an 'offset' from the posted speed limit. I set it to +5. So, we'd be cruising along doing 50 in a 45, come up on a section posted 35, and the Audi would see the speed sign - display the sign in the gauge cluster, then... ...automatically slow to 40 in a 35... When the limit went back to 45, it would *automatically* speed back up from 40 to 50. The ACC in our Volvo recognizes the speed signs, but doesn't actually DO anything about it, other than flash the sign in the gauge cluster... Audi can actually keep you at your typical "five over" speed 100% of the time.

And in reality you still drive like 50 miles per day. 😂 So good to be paying for that 20x range all the time. Fast charging is a must of course.
