99% of the time financing through the manufacturer will get you a lower purchase price than if you pay cash

And you're still driving a Honda Fit.... not to knock it, it's a functional car. If you'll re-read the post, I said LUXURY car, which the Fit is about as far of the opposite end of the spectrum as you can get. I didn't say there were not any pitfalls to be worried about with leasing, but if you treat your car right,…

And that's a lovely 2011 model out of warranty mind you. Enjoy!

should have bought a QX60..... They have a usable 3rd row for adults:)

If the car isn't worth your residual amount at lease term you could end up having to come out of pocket to re-fi that car. Plus you'll be taxed on the residual amount when you purchase it again. It works, SOMETIMES.... but that's not a guarantee

G's have taken a bath on resale value. Most lease residuals were in the 26-29k range. 2 points for leasing again... money you didn't pay on a purchase. Trust me, if you purchased a G37 you're taking a bath on trade in right now. That's the market, which you're protected against with the lease

I was just averaging. A 7/8 year old car doesn't have much value swing with 83k or 90k, it's still a wholesale car

Then sell the car outright and pay off the residual amount... cash in pocket, or trade on your new lease and artificially lower your next payment. I've cashed out between 1k and 2k on every lease I've had

I'm the senior consultant for a top 10 Infiniti store. I'm using March numbers, and incentives that I just penciled to a client. Tax credits are a wonderful thing

wouldn't you rather have 10k in the bank and 20-25k of tax savings moving to a THIRD car, or a depreciating asset that MAY be worth 10k?

whether you put down money or not is irrelevant in this scenario. it's still money spent which amortizes over the life of the car. The math is sound, trust me

Leasing is the cheapest way to drive a luxury car period..... Here's an actual breakdown from a 2015 Q50

Exotic Skittles Lambo does not have a wing. It also has black stenciling in the intake vent and along the front clip with their webpage and phone number. Doesn't look like the two cars match IMHO

Blue denotes Hybrid, Red denotes Gas

The level of douchebaggery you just displayed is epic sir, well done! You win the interwebs!

oh yeah, and EVERY item that is STANDARD for us, is at minimum a $700 charge at BMW... Heated seats, really... in a 35k plus car... as an OPTION?

The BMW 228? Haha, with 100 less HP.... and none of the others are luxury cars... keep trying:)

Try again, we're compared to the Audi all day every day

AVM for one.... I could go on.... do some research and let me know what other vehicles offer this on ANY model under 60k? (hint- no one except Rover pull it off, and thats at 90k plus)
