A lease is a good way to temporally drive a vehicle that you cannot afford to buy.

Test drive cars, make a decision and buy one.

All the 350Z vs ____ posts will not help you.

no modding for you! Unless you remove it all and return the car to stock before giving it back

I would pic one. Leasing four cars seems excessive.

if you like to drive new car every 3 yrs and you drive less than the milage on the lease, leasing is good

otherwise, buying will cost you less

they are different cars, sort out what you really need/want before jumping into a lease

Unless there is a special deal, leasing is TERRIBLE. The way it works is you take the initial price of the car, lets say $30K then take the depreciated value and you pay the difference as the lease, well, its not a real depreciated value here because the bank states what the value of the car will be, in the 350z case they say somethink like 50%, so if you plan to lease a car for 3 years, your paying $15 grand just to give the car back to the dealer after 3 years. It would actually be cheaper to buy the car instead.

When I was shopping for my Z, with good credit, the payments were almost identical to one another; unless the lease was short termed, in which case the lease was more expensive.

If you want a nice Z and a reasonable payment, get a used one with low miles and and let someone else pay the majority of your car's depreciation.

'im a manager here at infiniti of massapequa... you put down 1500 but you have to pay the taxes and bank fee above that to get to 450 per month
but look at the '07 G35 sedan -- keep it VQ and rwd

I can not think of any good reason to lease a vehicle.

You also have to worry about the number of miles that you put on the vehicle. If you go over the allowed miles, then it will cost you even more. I do not see this as being able to enjoy it in any way.

sometimes there are sick lease programs.... look at it this way - if you finance a vehicle you don't fully own the car until you pay it off. same goes for leasing but you don't own it period! cars depreciate over time especially w/ high mileage. i structure lease programs up to 30k miles per year and you do'nt have to worry about losing on a trade in.

the M35 sedan has a sick lease program that the rates are next to nothing -- almost the same price as the '07 G sedans

if you like to get and out of cars within 3 years a lease is not a bad option. if you buy a car and put it out over 5 years you wont break even in most cases until the middle or end of the 3rd year if the car holds decent value. when i worked in the car business the best lease was a national add, not going to a dealer and "working the lease vs buying numbers" with the salesman. dealerships can do a lot with a lease and would rather you lease the car.

I am currently leasing my Z. I wouldn't do it again, only buying for me from now on.

lease has too many little agreements that if you violate you have to pay for. if you go over the mileage planned, you owe. too many stipulations and too much money for something you give back in a few years. cant mod a leased ride either unless you plan to pay and have someone undo all the work you paid to have done once already.

WASTE OF MONEY

I work in banking and I would advise you not to lease its a total waste of money. Your just throwing money at something and have nothing to show for it in the end.
