Guys- My S4 lease will be up in 3 months, so Im warming up to go my next car hunting again.currently just browsing on cars.com and a few dealer websites all over the country other than this forum.Any other tips youve for me with car shopping are much appreciated.
and oh, I'm looking for either a used/certified 330xi or 340xi m sport below 20k miles.. My max budget (excluding taxes and fees) is 32k/34k (330xi/340xi)..

I'd think you'd get more comments & advise by posting this is the general section vs. regional. Happy hunting!

My F30 lease is coming to a close next year and I'm starting to look at Audis. How do you like Audi? I like to look of the S5 Sportback, but haven't done much research on the model yet. I hear good and bad about Audi. I love my F30, but have been extremely discouraged with the dealership service departments in the area. Have tried Passport, Alexandria, Fairfax, and Sterling. Was liking Sterling for a while until my latest service when I had to beg for wipers. BMW, by far, has a better lease program though.

I switched from e90 335i to s4 and had a blast with it.But I dont wanna lease again since VA is not lease friendly (think about sales tax and personal property tax) and yes historically, Bmw leases tend to be a bit more customer friendly than Audi's..I test drove the new S5 coupe recently and loved it, grey pearl effect looks gorgeous..just make sure you get one with sport differential and dynamic steering.. but i think Audi is out of their damn minds with their new car leases..

Sedan and bmw has been weak as of late I'm sure you can get 17 and 18 340i demos easily for that price I got my 16 340i last year as a demo wirh only 5k at that price range.
