So if I wanted to get an A4 and hold onto it for ~5 years am I better off going with a lease or buying? What are the biggest ups and downs to each?

 

You cant mod if you lease

 

the only reason to lease is so that you don't have to own the car for a long time and you won't get nailed with depretiation when you resell. if your planning to keep it for 5 years then buy it. Can you get a lease for 5 years? plus with a lease you can only drive x amount of miles a year, if you go over you get fined.

 

never lease
