I don't get it - Who in their right mind would ever lease a car??
I know, you get into a car for little down, and you also get to drive a car that you can't afford to buy - but I still ask why?
What sense (financially speaking) does it make? You put down money (3k, 4k, whatever), you drive a car for 36-48 mths. (while still having to make payments) and then at the end you walk away and have to do it all over again.
It's like renting an apt. versus owning your own home. Either you make someone else richer by the month, or you put the money back in your pocket with tax breaks and assets.
By purchasing, you lock into a set price (3 yrs. from now G35s could sell for 45k), you can trade or sell you vehicle whenever (since you now own it), or you can keep it long after its paid for and drive payment free.
Having leased once in the past (a '94 Prelude Si), I personally will always choose to own rather than lease (except for a company vehicle). I'd rather drive a vehicle I can truly afford and take care of my own business, than lease some flash-mobile just to impress someone living down the street that I'll never even meet.
Just my 2 cents on the topic - Don't mean to offend.

Re: G35 Lease Price
Here's the way I see it:
My husband and I love to have new cars. We get the itch to get new cars by the 3rd year of having one so we like to lease. We never put more than 2k on a lease (that's including dealer fees, tag, tax, title). Why should we buy when we will never finish paying the cars. We are very comfortable with leasing. We have a new car every 3 years, we have nice cars that we would be paying an arm and a leg for if we were to buy it and we have a decent monthly payment.
Everyone is different. Some people can stay with a car until it dies on them. To each his own!

Re: G35 Lease Price
Gotta duoble check the paperwork for the money factor. It wasn't extremely good but is wasn't bad either. Pretty middle road. I actually got approved for a couple lease programs online first (Lending Tree etc.). The IFS deal was the best money factor I could get. One question: Is the payment you are stating with or without state tax? The monthly payment I mention above is including tax. Without tax it's about $453 I think. I still think it's a really good deal for m first lease and a short credit history. I tried to shop around alot. The funny thing is I was considering a 325CI but when I went to Long Beach BMW they turned their noses up at me when they found out I didn't have a long credit history and didn't have a co-signer. So I found a better deal with infiniti as well as a better car in my opinion. I'll try to get the info though for you, Thanks. [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Re: G35 Lease Price
hey ReD I'm not saying it's a bad deal but just letting you know you could have done a little better bro.
But since you explained your brief credit history, I now understand.
Mine is 450 with tax included, but then again I downed a lot more than you did.
I agree with you that the G is a better deal than a 325. However, if I would have bought the G I would always drool over owning a BMW one day.
for the ignorant fool who bashed on people who lease, I have to say total ignorance. Leasing vs. buying is all up to personal choice on whether you want to own a car versus having a new car after every 3 years. With buying, you are obligated with a higher monthly payment when financing, and also the length of time to pay off the car.
Leasing is a great alternative for lower monthly pay for having a car until the lease is up and you then have the option to lease another new vehicle. Also the term for leasing is typically shorter than a buy. Think of it as this, if you are the type who likes to own a different, newer car after 2-3 years, leasing is a better option.
Another upside to it is that you have the option to buy the car out at end of lease, and if the going price on the market for the car is good, you actually gain more margin buying the car out of its lease and selling it for more.

Re: G35 Lease Price
One thing I forgot to mention is the reason I lease. 1. I like to have a car every few years. 2. I like the lower payments. Three I prefer to save my cash monthly for bigger investments, ie a house. 4. At the end of the lease term I plan to put the vehicle up for sale above the residual. That way I will at least make my down payment back. Of coarse that is a gamble some what on the vehicle keeping it's value. But think think the market will stay good for this vehicle at least for the next few years. C ya.

Re: G35 Lease Price
Jason I would say in your case, since you have a long lease term for 4 years, it'll probably be worth it to you to buy out of the lease and sell it above residual. I'm sure the car will keep a great market value.
I forgot to add that the only downside I see to leasing is keeping up with the agreed annual miles. I have 12k a year, making it 36k mile limit for the 3 year term.
What is yours?
