Leasing means you pay for the years you drive the car, not the whole car. You contract for a set term and a set number of miles with Audi Financial Services, make your payments, and at the end you choose what happens next — keep it, swap it, or walk away.
The practical appeal: you are in a newer Audi, typically still inside the factory warranty window, and the monthly payment reflects the portion of the car you are using. The trade-off is that the contract has rules — mileage, wear, end-of-term decisions — that buying does not. If you would rather own it with no mileage clock, read how to buy a new Audi in Baton Rouge.
It depends on one honest question: do you want a new Audi every few years, or do you want to own this one for a long time? Leasing favors drivers who like staying current and drive predictable miles. Buying favors drivers who keep cars past the payoff, pile on highway miles, or want their name on the title with no end-of-term accounting.
When you buy, miles are unlimited, the title is yours, and when the payments are done you own the car — no wear review, no turn-in. When you lease, the agreement spells out your term, your miles, and your options at the end.
Most Audi leases allow 15,000 miles or fewer per year, unless your specific agreement says otherwise. Your contracted mileage is set when you sign, so the time to be honest about your commute is before you sign, not at turn-in.
If you drive Airline Highway to work and the occasional trip to New Orleans, a standard allowance usually covers it. If you are putting serious road miles on, say so up front. Excess mileage charges are in the lease agreement. The cheapest mile is the one you contracted for on day one.
Four options: turn it in toward another new Audi, buy it at the purchase-option price written in your lease agreement, extend the lease if you are eligible, or return it.
If you return the car without taking another vehicle, a turn-in fee applies per your agreement. The purchase-option price was fixed in the contract at signing — compare it to the market at the end before you decide.
Only for excess wear beyond what your lease agreement defines as normal. Audi offers a complimentary AiM inspection before turn-in. Audi Financial Services uses AiM to assess excess-wear charges, so that pre-inspection shows you what they will see.
Schedule the inspection early. If something needs fixing, you have time to handle it on your terms instead of paying the assessed charge.
Possibly: Louisiana lessees may see personal property tax billed through the lease, because the leasing company holds title during the term. Whether it applies, and how it is billed, depends on your deal. Ask us to walk through it on your specific contract before you sign.
Advertised numbers are written for highly qualified customers on approved credit. Your actual payment depends on your application, term, miles, and the car you pick.

Questions
Four options: turn the vehicle in toward another new Audi, purchase it at the purchase-option price stated in your lease agreement, extend the lease if you're eligible, or return it. If you return it without taking another vehicle, a turn-in fee applies per your agreement.
Audi lease mileage is typically 15,000 miles or fewer per year unless your agreement states otherwise. Your exact allowance is set in your contract, and excess mileage charges are detailed in the lease agreement.
Audi Financial Services uses AiM, an independent inspection company, to assess excess-wear charges. A complimentary AiM inspection is available before you turn the vehicle in, so you can see any issues ahead of time and address them before charges are assessed.
Leases are written through Audi Financial Services. That's separate from new retail purchase financing, which (for contracts on or after May 1, 2025) runs through Audi Retail Finance powered by Wells Fargo.
Louisiana lessees may see personal property tax billed through the lease, since the leasing company holds title during the term. Whether it applies and how it's billed depends on your lease — ask the dealership to walk through it on your specific deal.
Yes. Your lease agreement includes a purchase-option price fixed at signing, and you can buy the vehicle at that price at lease end. Many lessees compare that number to the market at turn-in time and decide it's worth keeping.
