those are pretty good rates actually. i wonder why they have to use incentives to move the roadsters? does nobody want a 6mt roadster? hmm...
personally, i have leased before and i will never do it again. it seemed like a good idea at the time. however, i am unable to write it off for business, and at the end i was left without a car. great thing about leasing though, is that at the end, just return it and walk away. dont have to deal with trying to sell it on your own or anything. i basically walked out of the mercedes dealership and went over to the nissan dealership. really easy.

I agree. My last car was a lease and it was a bad idea. I leased a 2001 Lexus IS300 and I couldn't wait to get out of it. Too restrictive on mileage and you can't mod your car as much.
Not to mention that you end up with zero equity in your car if you want to trade in.

ie: if you're talking about a $+300 payment * 60 months ... that's $18,000 after 5 years.
Dunno, the mileage is the only thing that gets to me, but even that is only like $.12-.15/mile ... so an extra 10,000 miles is only $1500 (or 5 months worth of payment differentials).
HTH!

True ... I guess it depends on how many changes you want to make. If you're talking about changing the wheels/tires from stock, you could always keep the ones you purchased (ie: take them off the vehicle when you turn it in).
Otherwise, you're just talking about 'consumables' ... brake pads, rubber, gas ... you'd have to maintain that whether or not you purchased the car ... so it's a wash.

I look at it this way, I put 19,000 down and my payments are 339.79 per month. If I decided to sell the car on the 36th month, my total cost would have been 19000+339.79*60=39387 minus whatever I could sell it for.
the lease for 3 yrs would be 519*36+1480=20164
My car would have to depreciate to $19,223 in 3 yrs to break even with the lease. My car MSRP'd at 35,000, so I think it will be worth well over 19,000.

I like leasing, only plan to lease from now on for several reasons, that work for me, but probably not most people.
1. I've had 27 cars, and aside from the 4 240z's, have never kept one until it was paid off.
2. Because I go through cars so much, a lease forces me to keep the car for 3 years, which saves me money.
3. When the lease is over, I can walk away.
4. My wife and I have 2 cars and a truck. The G35 is leased. The others are financed. I am going to lease a new truck shortly, then probably a new Z or something else a year later, that way, we will be getting a new car every year and can satisfy my 'new car' itch.

It looks like it's pretty close overall ... it's a matter of (a) can you deal with the mileage limit, (b) is the lower monthly payment what's right for you, and (c) how long to you plan to keep the car. If you're planning on swapping it out in 3-4 years, the lease -- due to the lower monthly payment -- is probably the way to go.
If you think about it, total cost of 20,164 ... if you put down another $1000, your monthly would be $0.00. $340 differential.

I don't think it will be difficult to get far more than $19,000 for a 3 year old touring Z. I hope the resale value doesn't dissapoint, but if Nissan doesn't produce too many it should hold pretty strong. Hopefully, the resale will be close to the s2000's and the BMW's. I don't see why it wouldn't, the cars are very popular and there aren't that many of them. 2000 model Celicas are selling in the high teens, I think that says something.
