I'd just rather make the payments towards ownership rather than just borrowing the car, especially since the G35 retains its value so well.

I hear ya'. To each his own. But let me say this. The fact that it retains its value so well makes it a good option for leasing because the residual is so high, thus creating the lowest monthly payment possible.

I only wish the they had residuals like the BMW 3 series.

you should note that you *never* own the lease until you buy it out

I leased my 05 5at from atlantic in may of last year. 24 month lease... 425 2,500 down. Premium, spoiler, 19s

Lease is well worth it if you planing on keeping a car for short term. Buying is worth it if you planing on keeping it for more then the term of the loan.

Personaly i bought used cars before and at times you just end up getting someone elses headache.
