I'm still undecided about getting the G37, and if the guys at Maple Shade are jerkoffs then I may just wait a little while to even consider getting the G and wait for the price to be negotiable.

It was just unfortunate that he wasn't as familiar with the lease programs as he could've been (like the residual and MF) since they were released on the day I went in to talk to him, so he relied on the finance manager, who used numbers that were giving the dealership a bump. In a sense, we both were screwed over, but we're in the process of trying to get this straightened out... they're trying to make amends to not lose my business and of course weren't happy when I told them to release the car and give me my deposit back. We'll see what happens.

I don't 'think' your guy got shafted. I mean, most interest rates right now for new cars (60-72) month terms will run you at 800 / month with great credit. I've been quoted at about 675/mo with no money down for a 15K mile per year lease. I would say that 150 per month makes up for everything and this is with my 08, IP, 6MT fully loaded and a MSRP sale of 44300K.
Tell him to run to another dealer!

I always end up trading it in on something and when I've bought in the past I'm well upside down. In the past 6 years, I've had an '01 BMW 330ci, an '04 BMW X5, an '05 G35 and now (well, in a couple of weeks) an '08 G37. Knowing that I will constantly have a car payment, buying just doesn't make sense when I can get a lower monthly payment for the same car and not have the headaches of being upside down when I get bored and go to get rid of it (and never be out of warranty). I think there are a lot of people like me out there, which is a reason why leasing works. And also, it is relative to your income. Someone making $80k/year is going to feel a $700+ lease payment a lot more than someone making $300k/year.
I have a few friends that lease there cars, they get new cars about every 2 years... There payments are always in the $700-$800 range because they want the $40k+ cars. They pretty much live paycheck to paycheck.
Personally I wouldn't want to live that way, if you lose your job or something your pretty much screwed.
