Yeah, thats why I posted this thread. I wanted to see if anyone was doing something like that, and see what people had to say.

But, to what you said.. thats something I'd love to do, if possible (no more than $350/mo)

holy hell, who pays $600+/month for an Evo? Is that with insurance?

To be honest here there is something wrong with that. My Evo cost me slightly more per month than your lease for a A4 and that also includes my insurance. I am paying like $375/ month all together for the Evo payment, and full coverage on it and my sentra as well. I cant believe people are paying payments that high. you guys are getting taken for a ride for sure

I guess I would say go for the A4 they are super nice cars to just take trips in or whatever.

If you cant afford an evo why in the world would you be looking at a 335, which is easily $10k more??? I agree woth serge03... forget your ego for a minute and buy something cheap so you can pay off your debt.

I bought my Evo used yes but it as not even a year old and had only 10k on it. they wanted $27k for it. which is still in the ballpark that everyone else deals with. yet I took the car home for $22k and a low APR. Im not sure if my driving record is the key too? Not sure home many people here have high steps, I think I am a 9 or something

either way Paying anything more than $400/month on just a car payment for an Evo is just too high IMO.

Good luck getting any BMW dealer to lease you the $3500 down, $549 payment on the 335i coupe. I called around and the dealers all laugh when I asked them about that, even though thats what BMW websites said. They all came back at me with $600+ lease payments on a base 335i coupe with no options and 10k miles per year.

Spend no more than $15K, and buy a used A4 if you want style, handling, and power mod potential, or buy a used SRT-4 if you want serious power and cheap. Don't over spend you will regret it.

Leasing, outside of paying for your vehicles cash. Is actually a better financial decision than purchasing. Thats why you have to have good credit to lease. Your just paying for the cars use, but not losing money in depreciating asset.

Sure, leasing a vehicle is a damn good idea if you like or plan on being in debt the rest of your life. I really don't understand the logic of leasing a vehicle to save money in the long run as opposed to owning a vehicle....because in the long run it simply doesn't add up. There are plenty of low financing rates available now to new car buyers. My finance rate was 2.9% on my Evo which I bought new for 28k three years ago. The car is now paid for and I now have no car payment and personally really don't care to have one anytime soon. Sure my taste for cars changes from time to time but I've learned to act my wage and have quit trying to keep up with the Jones's Oh, but if you absolutely have to lease go with the A4 since Audi is offering super low finance rates.
