Bryan,
I agree about not considering an Audi lease based on their current #'s. Personally, I couldn't bring myself to buy a one new either, I'd just wait for a year or so as I like a new car every few years and want to lop off as much of the new price as possible. Same with the E9x M3. It's not just what you can afford, but what your willing to afford, right?
Regarding the auction prices, obviously there is a cushion. It's just that impression I'm getting is you guys seem to think that the difference b/w these unrealistic residuals and the market is just magically gobbled up somewhere and no one is worse for it. Given the huge loss, that is not true. When companies lose $ with a program, the consumer will always end up making up the difference.
Of course, you're right. People won't care as long as it's not them...this time. Reminds me of various other plans and programs being thrown around in our country/world these days. But hey "I got mine" right? Discussion for another time and forum.
Regards,
John
