Was at the dealership for a couple of hours wheeling and dealing, I ended up leaving more confused....

Tax in L.A. County is about 8.25%

'06 M35 Sport, Journey, Technology, and full Aero Kit (About $51k Sticker); told me the best deal they could do would be a 39 month lease 12k miles...1100 out of pocket and $650 a month.

Sales manager comes out and starts to upsell me on an M45...

'06 M45 Sport, Journey, Technology, and DVD flip down screen but no Aero(About $58k Sticker); 24 months, 12k miles, $2k total out of pocket/down with $675 a month.

Honestly, both cars are out my price range...but curious to know what you guys think about these deals.

Thanks,
Mike
