Lease Buyout Rules
Audi Financial Services allows the original lessee to purchase the leased vehicle at lease-end, with specific conditions based on state regulations.
- The purchase option price (residual value) is specified in the lease agreement. Contact Audi Financial Services at 800-428-4034 or log into your account at Audi Financial Services to obtain a payoff quote.
- Buyouts must be processed through an authorized Audi dealer, not directly with Audi Financial Services.
- Third-party buyouts are permitted in some states. Contact Audi Financial Services for eligibility and payoff quotes; dealers must request a dealer payoff quote, which may differ from the lessee’s residual value.
- A signed Odometer Disclosure Statement must be submitted via the dealer, as required by federal law.
- Early buyouts may be allowed if permitted by the lease contract, but may include remaining lease payments and a purchase option fee.
- The disposition fee may be waived if you lease or purchase a new or Certified Pre-owned Audi within 90 days of vehicle return.
- Additional fees (e.g., sales taxes, registration, title fees) may apply, varying by state. Contact your local DMV for details.
Contact your authorized Audi dealer or Audi Financial Services at 800-428-4034 to discuss buyout options and confirm eligibility, providing your account number or VIN.
Lease Transfer Policy
Audi Financial Services allows lease transfers, enabling another party to take over your lease with approval, subject to specific restrictions.
Transfer Fees and Conditions
- Lease Buyer Credit Application Fee: $100.00.
- Lease Transfer Fee: $350.00 (typically paid by the buyer; $0 in Texas, Indiana, and Mississippi due to state regulations).

What You Should Know

- The vehicle must have no unresolved safety recalls. Check recall status at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website.

Additional Leasing Notes
Audi Financial Services offers leasing for Audi vehicles, with terms typically ranging from 24 to 36 months and mileage options (e.g., 10,000, 12,000, or 15,000 miles per year). Additional taxes or registration fees may apply depending on your state; contact your local DMV for details. For comprehensive Audi Financial Services lease information, visit DSRLeasing.com.
Lease-End Fees and Policies
- Disposition Fee: Up to $495 may be charged to cover vehicle cleaning and reconditioning, unless you lease or purchase a new or Certified Pre-owned Audi within 90 days of return.
- Excess Mileage Fee: $0.25 per mile for miles exceeding the lease agreement’s limit (typically 15,000 miles per year). Eligible customers may purchase additional miles halfway through the lease; contact Audi Financial Services via myAudi for details.
- Excess Wear and Tear: Costs for damages beyond normal use (e.g., dents, scratches, tire wear) may apply. Audi Pure Protection Lease-End Protection can waive up to $10,000 of these charges (optional, no deductible). Schedule a free pre-return inspection by contacting Audi Financial Services; email repair receipts to repairreceipt@audifs.com if repairs are made post-inspection.
- Lease-End Options: Return the vehicle to an authorized Audi dealer (ensure the dealer accepts returns if not the original leasing dealer), purchase it at the residual value, or lease a new Audi vehicle. Schedule a pre-return inspection and upload the Lessee Vehicle Return Receipt and Odometer Disclosure Statement via myAudi to confirm return. DSRLeasing can pick up the vehicle for lease return with any lender; contact DSRLeasing.com for details. Contact Audi Financial Services 60 days before lease-end to discuss options. A final invoice, including any charges, will be mailed within six weeks.

Audi Care Maintenance Coverage
For drivers exceeding 15,000 miles per year, we strongly recommend purchasing an Audi Care maintenance plan to maintain your vehicle’s performance and reduce maintenance costs. Audi Care covers scheduled maintenance (every 10,000 miles or 12 months) at authorized U.S. Audi dealers, using Audi Genuine Parts.
- Cost Savings: Prepaid plans can save up to 20% compared to paying for services individually, ideal for high-mileage drivers.
- Convenience: Maintenance can be performed at any authorized Audi dealer, and the cost can be rolled into your lease or finance payments.
- Vehicle-Specific Tiers: Plans are tailored for models like A3, Q5, e-tron, or premium models like A8 and R8, with pricing ranging from $999 to $1,999 depending on the model.
- Non-Cancelable: Audi Care is non-refundable and non-transferable, linked to the vehicle for the contract duration. No refunds are issued if the lease ends early.
- Recommendation: High-mileage drivers benefit from Audi Care’s comprehensive coverage, ensuring optimal performance and potential resale value. Contact your Audi dealer to add Audi Care to your lease or purchase.
Contact your authorized Audi dealer to learn more about Audi Care and its benefits for your lease.
