What would you do?
Put yourself in this scenario:
Say you have a leased 2003 TL-S, ~9000 miles. You're tired of the tranny issues, you're tired of all the squeaks and rattles that a $32,000 car with that mileage should NOT have. You're thinking that you would like to get rid of it. How would you go about doing this? How much do you think the car would be worth if you traded it in on say.. a G35? Remember, the TL-S is leased.
Obviously, I'd like to get myself into a G35 sport coupe.. I'm just curious to hear people's opinions on this matter. Thanks,

Since it's leased, you need to find out what your remaining obligation is.
1)Contact you leasing company and find out what your "Buy Out" amount is.
2)Go to KBB.com and price out your car to find out what to expect if you sell your car on the open market.
This will give you a rough idea of how much you will loose (or make) on getting out of the Acura.
Only you can determine your tolerance for living with the Acura. If it's a big enough issue for you, the $'s won't matter. Each of us has different tollerance levels, different resources available to us, and different expectations. You can spend $32K on a car and get less that what you have in an Acura in my opinion but I'm not in your shoes.
