The payoff AFS gave us included the TTL, so 34.9k actual payoff and 4 places gave me within 250 of each other - 44k+.

So we might just take the cash and buy something else as, after 69 cars, this is the first time that much cash has come back on a leased used car. Thank goodness for shortages. lol
In general Audi and Porsche are much more conservative with their residual values than BMW. I know of others whose residuals are below market for an Audi. But if you have a Prestige with such low miles, isn't it worth buying it since you already paid a higher lease payment to cover the low residual. JMHO
