Stories like these make me never want to buy a new car.

Well, in California, there are SO many laws in place that it's impossible to ever get completely hosed unless the customer agrees to pay a large markup

Don't worry about the numbers. The deal is done and you have an awesome car that "us" 08 G35 owners can only dream of!

If you really want to blame yourself for not getting a good deal then look to your purchase of the EOS. That was not a wise move. However, you have come around by getting the G37. That is a car that you will thoroughly enjoy!

If you really want to save money then the best way to do it is cancel your Satellite/Cable bill and go out and drive your nice new shiny car instead! Going without TV would save me about $120 a month!

Thanks for the light-hearted response. My daughter just moved up to the 2 yr old room at daycare today. That means tuition dropped $15/wk. That's $65/mo which coincidentally is about the difference between the money factor AAMC got and the one I did. Easy come - easy go, my monthly expenses come out in the wash.

I'd prefer to drive instead of watching TV but if I did that 100% of the time I'm fairly certain I blow the crap outta my 12K mi/yr lease agreement.

The more I drive this car, the more I like it. Amazing a car this capable and feature rich had a MSRP within $500 of my Eos. Like I've been telling people; the Eos was a $25K car with a $10K roof. The G is a great $35K car.

Two features I do miss on the Eos though: Rain sensing wipers and the German style 1 touch = 3 blinks lane change indicators.

My friend, you should have gone with a 15k lease. You are going to want to drive this car at every opportunity you will get, with gas prices the way there are these days, its going to be a no brainer for you. There are times you are going to hear the car calling out to you

Talk to me after 6 months, I can assure you are going to regret the 12k lease.

I am just talking from experience here, I have a 15k lease, wish I had gotten 20
