Joy_Joy_Joy, it probably wouldn't make sense to purchase a bumper-to-bumper maintenance package if you'll be leasing a new A3 during the period of its Audi factory warranty. You can purchase LOTS of oil changes and windshield wiper blades for $600.00 around here. In my estimation, leasing is frequently designed by dealerships to lure people who can't afford the car they seek to drive. Rather than putting money down and all that stuff, perhaps seek to invest that initial $2500.00 towards the purchase of a more affordable car? That way you can someday sell it as an asset and put the money towards owning an Audi of your choice. There is nothing nicer than driving around a car that you own free and clear of any banks!

Or you can try a site like leasetrader.com and take over someones lease... then buy the car at the residual price. There are some good deals to be had there. Leasing a car for a year doesnt make sense unless you are rich and have money to throw down the drain.

Keep in mind you can't put anything into the car (upgrades) since you are leasing.

i lease my vehicles because it saves me money not because i cant afford to buy it out right, why pay ....lets say 600/mo. for fives years when i can lease for say 400/mo (just example #'s) for 3yrs. if i want to extreme the example, i could keep that 200 bucks that im saving versus buying and put it towards my house payment, my sons college fund, my 401k, my I.R.A., my pocket, my hobbies.....you get the idea.(is that food for thought)
when people say that the only reason people lease is because they cant afford to buy....is just plain silly, infact its just foolish. leasing isnt obviously for everyone but neither is financing.
i do however agree with you on your last sentence, there is a great satisfaction in owning a vehicle free and clear unfortunately around 80% of all newly purchased(financed)vehicles will never see that, infact the average usage of a new vehicle is just under 4 yrs.
one more thing, you can do whatever you want to a leased car. if you want to put aftermarket bits on so be it, it works just like it would if you had bought the car outright. mods typically dont add value so in that case the dealer would hit you up for it when you turned the leased car in, wheels and tires and other minor things usually dont hurt the resale of the vehicle..... but you could take the mods off and sale them to someone else and recoup some of you that money.
im sorry my first post was a rant but uniformed people shouldnt make uninformed opnions.

Also most people on the board would not be considered "uninformed," maybe you should've made your first post in the welcome board... [sm=sigh.gif]
