The choice to lease or buy and then how to lease (in other words, continue leasing or lease to buyout the car) is based on personal economic factors as well as deals/promotions at the dealer. For me, $1,000 down was a good decision as it lowered my payments by $50 bucks per month which allowed me offset for a maintenance plan, tinted windows, clear bra, and some other things I wanted done to the car. If I bought, I wouldn't have added those things as I don't believe in $700 per month car payments.

It worked for me!

Defcon, i am surprised noone has stated the obvious, but have you considered using your guns to shoot your creditors and then receiving your car for free like that?
