I've thought about leasing for 2 or maybe 3, but I'd prefer 2, years instead of buying.

How much are you guys paying on your lease, how many miles are allowed & how much did you put down?

I put down $1k, covers first payment and fees. MSRP, $39,xxx, paid $36,700. Residual 60% 39 month lease, interest rate was somewhere around 7% (there's a money factor, not really an exact percentage) it was this high because my auto credit score was 650.....Credit score was around 700 but your auto score is usually lower. I pay $559/month @ 15k/year.

I was hoping to get $500/month, but i got navigation and a higher interest rate that demolished those dreams.

Wow, I'd be better off buying an '04

Thats crazy. I got a fully loaded Laser Red/Wheat no NAV. Paid first month, fees. blah blah total = $1500 and i pay $488/month for 39 months

04- got 500/mos but they kill you on the service/tire crap so thats an extra 42/mos

3 year, 11,000 mi/year, $542/mos

i forgot how much we put down, i think maybe $2500 T.O.P.

i pay 355 a month i put 10 grand down and i have it for 66 months.. =c/ fully loaded without navi..

your insane, you put 10gs on a lease youre gona pay 33gs and give the car back

05 G35C 6MT
MSRP: 38k
PAID: 34K
39 Mo lease
12K miles a year (I drive under 10K)
Residual $20,500
$1875 up front (Fees, first month, deposit)
$512 month

its not a lease,i bought the car!! its mine !!! all mine!!!

damn i didnt read the thread right,it says paying for your lease...lol how stupid i was just proud i have super low payments heh.sorry =c/

damn, thats bomb deal, you basically paid no interest

First off, I don't like the 04's at all....secondly, how do you figure you would be better off buying an 04. If i would of bought my 05 for 60 months (already longer than I would want the car for), assuming a lower interest rate of 6%, my payments would be over $744/month! Now if you put a lot down and get a less loaded car, then yes you can get it for cheaper, but I got my car fully loaded.

Again, your car was probably atleast $2k less than mine and you probably had a better interest rate than I did at that time, hence your lower payments.....do you have 15k miles?

I put 5000 down and i pay 389 a month.
12k miles a year.
