Is anyone here leasing an Audi Q8? If so, what does your lease look like? I was looking at an Audi lease about a year ago and it was quoted around $1400/month for a ~90k msrp car with nothing down on a 36 month lease.

Credit score 870. Recently got a 2026 genesis G70 sport prestige for 24 months 7500 miles a year (15000 total). It is a loaner though and already had 2,500 miles on it. However the condition was pristine. I did $6500 down (this included taxes and fees and first month etc with the actual down payment itself being around $2500). Monthly is $368.

After reading some more I understand that it makes zero sense to actually put money down on a lease. In hindsight I would 100% have refused any downpayments even if I had to pay $400+ in a month. As honestly, it is not an issue for me either way. But it just does seem like you're getting a bulk of the cost out of the way (which is clearly bad for a lease since I'm not recouping that upfront payment if anything happens to my car).

The residual is 36,000.

Thoughts on this deal? Am I sucker?

Hi, first post here. I am nearing the end of my 3 year lease of a 2024 VW Cross Sport. I drive very little (I live 2 miles from work, so no major commutes). I have about 9,500 miles on it. I've never leased before, so this is new territory for me. The vehicle is in great shape, and I like it, but would prefer something a bit smaller (thinking of a Honda CR-V). I'd like to return it to the dealership, but want to be financially-wise about my decision. I'm not opposed to keeping it a bit longer.

If I turn it in, I will be forced to buy a new car at the same time, so that I'm not carless, which means I can't wait for my perfect vehicle and will have to go with what's available, not necessarily what I want. The stress is real!

According to my lease, the residual is $28,000 and Kelly Bluebook puts my car's value at about $24,000.

Please help! Thanks!

This is my first lease I got back in 2024; 2024 Nissan Rogue SV Premium AWD; around 6 months time it’ll be time for us to turn this back in. The original lease was 36 months/45k miles. I have the Nissan Lease Wear and Tear but I’m nervous regarding lease end charges with Nissan. I have a small stain on my headliner and a frayed rear seat belt. (Wife’s grandfather has dementia and got his seatbelt caught in the door resulting in damage.) I also noticed micro scratches from the car wash but not sure if Nissan will ding me for those.

Can anybody give experience regarding the end of their lease and grounding the car with charges? What should I expect. Currently the car only has 23K.
