2019 Audi A5 Usados en Venta

I'm not that young (40’s). However, I took advantage of a carry trade on an Audi R8 V10 in the secondary market that made it essentially free (not including taxes, fees, insurance and other operating costs) over 2 years. True story. Here is how it worked. One day, I was browsing the Leasebusters website, and found what seemed to be an extraordinary deal to assume the last 2 years of a 3 year lease on an Audi R8 V10 for $2050.91 per month (all figures in CAD). The incumbent lessor had put down $70k upfront in order to reduce the payment to that amount, and was looking to recoup $25k from the person taking over the lease. Therefore, my total cash outlay over 2 years was $2050.91/month x 24 months = $49k (monthly lease) + $25k (upfront) = $74k paid. However, the vehicle purchase option at the end of the lease term was $86,532.75. And the market value of a 3-year-old R8 V10 at that point was more like $160k (the original purchase price was $192,295). Therefore, I could buy the car out and flip it at the end of the lease term and net $160k - $86k = $74k received. This really was the deal of a lifetime. And everything worked exactly as planned, except for one thing. At the end of the lease, after I exercised the purchase option and bought out the lease, I couldn’t bring myself to sell the car and realize the gain! So, I have paid out $160k ($74k + $86k buyout) for the car, and it is currently sitting in my garage depreciating. That said, it is totally worth it. This is a truly enchanting vehicle. Buyers beware: the Audi R8 V10 is extremely difficult to part with!

Great handling and a comfortable ride. Undersized rear seat and trunk. High base price for the class.
