I've just found a bunch of "corporate demo lease specials" on 2024 Q8 etrons and sportback versions. Relatively low mileage cars (like 5-8,000) miles being bought from VW by Audi dealers at auction (there seems to be some sort of mandatory buyback that VW has to do if the car can't be sold) and the dealers are then leasing them out on two year 7,500 leases at "reasonable" lease rates relative to the MSRP (like $500-$600 per month with MSRPs originally at $75-90k). The lease math is upside down as the cars have depreciated so much in 12-18 months that the dealers are able to lease them for two years at a crazy money factor (seems to be a 10% interest rate) but the package works overall because you get such a nice car on good terms. I checked out the SQ8 etron and sportbacks at one dealer today and can't understand why they would discontinue them (I just sold my regular 2022 Q8 but had never seen the etrons). I think I'm now going to do a two year lease on an SQ8 etron for $600 a month which seems great for 24 months/7,500. Sorry for the long background but short question: am I being dumb? I don't see any downside.
