I had a similar decision to make. 1st I do have a '97 9k CSE, hence my scanning the Saabnet boards. Anyhow my 99 Audi A4 1.8TQ manual was coming off lease. My buyout was 18600, but I manage to get 16500 by offering them less. I thought this was pretty good for I car I love, know well and according to consumer reports has a low long term operating cost. I paid for the car outright, so its hard to compare leasing/loan options. But I think it is always cheaper if you can purchase things outright. Especially considering for the 1st 3 years I paid $410 a month with taxes, and nothing down. So my 1st 3 years cost almost what I paying now. I expect to at least get another 5 years out of the car and it will still have some value at the end. I guess it depends if you can buy/lease/or take out a loan. Even with repair costs, used cars are going to be cheaper. That new car smell is the most expensive perfume ever!
