$0 downpayment will mean the lease is gonna be cheaper. To lease my 03 CL was going to be $425/month, my loan is $625. But i own it 2 years after the lease is up.

I leased mine for 399 a month 3k total drive off.

Did it because I drive less than 12k miles a year and they were willing to put on a spoiler, comptech exhaust/springs/sways for that price.

In addition, it gives me three years to dream about my next car!

General rule of thumb for lease:

If you plan to keep a car for 4-5 or more years, you better of buying it.

If you plan to switch cars every 4 years, lease is probably better.

This would be correct. Lease if your like me and always want the lastest and greatest product that's out there. As for the price, leaseing is cheaper......but you don't own the car.

In Feb 2002 I leased my 2002 Cls for 459.00 per month/ $O down, $0 out the door. If I would have purcashed the car with $0 down my payments would be like $650+ per month.
