I don't know why anyone would purchase their car after the lease is
up.
In some states you will pay sales tax twice. I have had very good
offers to keep cars, but not good enough to move to the next, new car.

My 2002 Audi has about 20K miles on it and in near perfect condition.
I
could probably net a couple grand on it if I bought it and resold it.

How long was your lease on it?

48 mos. Financing was ridiculous and nothing out of pocket. It was my
second lease with them and, although I'm attracted to the new a6 (mostly
the interior), I'm also attracted to getting off the merry go round.

Per our discussion, Volkswagen would still get its money out of the car
vs. GM having to write off the difference between residual and the
actual worth of the car.

Audi had a great lease on its A6 and A4. The A4 was $349/mo. with zero out
of pocket, 12,000 mi/yr, for only 24 months. The A6 was $569/mo. or $599/mo
with the same terms. Obviously, the 24 month term was what I found most
appealing.

I couldn't do that. The thought of having to go through the hassle
every 24 mos. is not appealing to me.

But I wanted to be under $500, so I didn't even drive the A6. The A4 was
too small and too slow. I couldn't get used to a 4-cylinder after driving
the G35...even if it was turbocharged.

I love the growl of the a4 3.0. I tried to squeeze into it after
returning my 1999 a4 but couldn't justify it. Good thing too, I had 5
grown men in the a6 for business two weeks after taking delivery and too
many times since.
