Default 370Z Leases

Hey Guys,

I currently have an '07 Touring (no nav) but everything else. I pay around 300 a month and I was contemplating a 370.

Is it possible to LEASE a 370 for around 300 a month?

Would the down payment have to be really high?
Would I have to get a lower trim level?
Do you think it's worth it? I still love the 350, I'm just tempted by the 370z's performance.

Thanks,

h0pes

Are you leasing your 350Z? If so, I would discuss this with your Nissan dealer. Only they can really answer your questions. Personally, I wouldn't consider a lease but that is up to you.

I'm sure they will make $300/month work to move a car, but it'll come with other drawbacks for sure.

Yeah, I figure that as well. I guess I'm trying to get some background info or an idea of what to expect and what to haggle for.

not to try to school you on some basics, but for what you're paying, you could probably be owning a 2006/2007 350z, and having something of value that can be sold when you are done paying it off.

but that being said, i doubt it. new toyota camrys fully loaded lease for that

I'm not sure from your post if you are leasing your current Z or not. It is also unclear as to how long you have had that '07.

Is it worth it? I don't think so. I think that in most cases (not all obviously), a lease is not a good idea. Folks finance a car when they can't afford to buy what they want. Folks tend to lease a car when they can't afford to finance it.

If you lease a 370, what happens when another car comes out with better performance that tempts you then? Are you going to change cars every couple of years? If so, then you ought to have a high enough income that you don't even have to ask the question "is it worth it".
