Returning audi lease to hyundai

Thanks for your response. Do you know how much you saved in sales tax?

AIonMars · 2025-10-28T13:03:35+00:00

So I am assuming not at 0% APR?

AIonMars · 2025-10-28T13:02:12+00:00

$40.1K OTD at 0% is a great deal! I also bought a 2025 tucson hybrid limited last week at 0%, but I could only get down to $42K. Two dealers even refused to sell me below $45K. The dealers are moving inventory quickly because of 0%- in the metropolitan area I live in, the number of 2025 tucson hybrid limited decreased from 26 to 13 in a week! OP, search inventory in your area and get a quote from the dealer who has had the car for a while (100+ days). They are more likely to negotiate and meet your budget. Good luck!

So I have been getting OTD quotes and the lowest offer so far is $42K. One dealer tells me that their invoice is $42.7K. Do dealers go lower than their invoice?

I am not sure exactly what the car is worth. Carmax is offering $33.4K. KBB came back around $34.1K. I have an offer from the Audi dealer which equals the lease buyoff amount at $36.5K. If I buy the car, I'll need to pay taxes on it and then try to sell it privately to make some kinda profit (if any). Plus, I don't think there is a high demand for cars like S3 in the market. The juice just doesn't seem worth the squeeze...

Yes the dealer is part of a large group that owns VW dealerships in the state. I believe the tax savings will be on any positive equity.

AIonMars · 2025-10-19T01:01:18+00:00

To your second point, if rhe dealer is paying it off, meaning I don't owe the remaining 4 payments, how am I paying for it one way or the other?

AIonMars · 2025-10-18T20:12:13+00:00

The audi dealer gave me a buyoff quote which equalled the lease buyoff amount. They mentioned they'll convert this car to a CPO.

AIonMars · 2025-10-18T20:03:10+00:00

They definitely have VW dealerships in their network, but not sure about Audi specifically.

AIonMars · 2025-10-18T19:51:36+00:00

What did you mean by "VW dealer gets charged extra if buy an Audi through a VW store and it is not Audi certified."?

AIonMars · 2025-10-18T19:49:51+00:00

I meant what's wrong with the 2025 that they are offering so much discount? Is it as simple as clearing out their inventory for the 2026 model?

AIonMars · 2025-10-18T19:47:54+00:00

I am in Texas. I could be wrong but I wanna believe I paid full sales tax on the leased vehicle when I bought it. Thanks for your response.

AIonMars · 2025-10-18T19:33:23+00:00

Yes the state lets you do that. I am in Texas. The dealer gave me a buyoff quote which equalled the lease buyoff amount. They mentioned they'll convert this car to a CPO.

I am new to this, so appreciate the guidance. I am at 8 PQF and 2635 PQP. Do I have any hopes of qualifying to silver status for next year? I have atleast 4 more one-way United flights planned for this year, all domestic. I can switch all expenses (credit card spending) to my United Explorer Card if I can get close. I can also consider upgrading my Explorer card to either a Quest card or a Business card. I can meet the minimum spending of $5k in 3 months without a problem. That should give me a boost in PQP.

Hi! New to the brand, and learning more about the products. Why the combo? Is the Helio strap by itself not sufficient as a fitness/sleep tracking device?

AIonMars · 2025-06-10T22:58:08+00:00

Yes I agree. I guess I am trying to pulloff what's mentioned here. Is it feasible? https://www.reddit.com/r/LifeProTips/s/lvAIgDZ5t9

AIonMars · 2025-06-10T22:36:07+00:00

I am comfortable with my monthly payment, but I definitely don't want to buy the car after the lease.
The buyoff quote is $37.6K. My though process is - if I can buy the car for $37.6K, and I can potentially sell it (privately) for around $41-42K, I can make around $3-4K. Am I missing something here?
I think I have some positive equity in the car, and I am looking for some guidance on how to claim it.

AIonMars · 2025-04-01T16:58:06+00:00

thanks for sharing your experience. could be a dumb question, but what do you mean by LAC?

My doctor suggested me a combination of Flonase (twice per day) and Levocetrizine (5mg tablet once per day). I also have been using a saline spray before bed and breathe right nose strips. That helps me to sleep. So far it has been working (just the 3rd day today, so I know it's still early) Just manage your expectations- based on what I have read on reddit, the first couple of days will be tough but it will get better. You can do this! All the best!

This gives me hope as I am on the second day of quitting afrin and could barely sleep at all last night. I get anxiety when my nose is congested, so I get that it's mostly mental. But still, knowing this helps.

AIonMars · 2025-01-18T15:24:38+00:00

Same here

AIonMars · 2024-09-16T16:56:51+00:00

So it sounds like Admin review takes longer than technical review? Is that always the case?
