Do you Lease, Finance, or Buy your Z?

I was wondering how other Z drivers pay for the Z.

Mine is on a 4 year lease.

What's your's?

I financed my car. Cant say delivering pizzas allowed me enough to buy it cash. $420/month allows me to keep the keys to mine!

Sorry to say that all the numbers given by our good neighbours are skewed since the list on a Z in the US is at least $10K lower than Canada. THe only models available for sale in Canada are Performance and Performance with Grand Touring package -- list prices are about $49K and $51k respectively... add $6.5k to $7K in taxes and youre looking at $56k- $58K. I should clarify --> these are for 2006 model.

Go to Nissan Canada website and you'll see what I mean.

I used to lease cars but was burned twice on early lease return. Now I only finance.

If you lease you have two options. Buy it out if the residual value is less than market value... or simply return it and hope the miles you put on are less than the allowed.
