Wow, you guys are putting some coin down on these leases. I don't understand that since it's just throwing money away. Put the money you were going to put down on the lease in an online emigrant direct or ING account and earn over 5% compounded daily. If you put $5000 in there at 5.05% and didn't touch it for three years you would make over $800 on the principal. Even if your payment was say $125 more per month you would still come out over $1300 ahead at the end of three years.

2007 non-navi; 10k down; $490 a month; not a fan of leasing for I only drive my personal vehicles less than 7000 miles a year. My 2000 has 50,000 and my 2007 has 300.

the reason i personally put down the money that did was to lower my monthly payment....

when u are looking to get a mortgage they look for a <50% debt-to-income ratio. i'd rather have a $433.00 payment showing over a $600.00+ monthly payment with zero down. putting money down isnt throwing it away... it's just lowering the payment and i dont have to worry about the car getting stolen and losing the $$$ because of the GAP insurance.

it's all about personal preference.

not to mention... right now, my finances are secure.... but GOD forbid something happened.... i wouldnt want to be stuck with a $600.00 or worse payment!!!!!!

my car payment is 0!! Paid for it up front!

noshow_nogo

386/month ; paid just the doc fees/dmv bs ; 10k ; 3 yrs ; 21k buyout

the reason for the 10k instead of the 12k is that payments on overmileage were cheaper than the higher monthly, so i'll pay as i go and save money. work is 5 miles away anyway =D

why leasing a vehicle? YOu don't own it. If you want to waste your $$, gave it to me.

For those of you who are planning to purchase, here's what you can use as a guide. Bought mine in mid Dec. of 06. $35269 + $379 (accessories include color matched mud guards, rubber mats, trunk tray, wheel locks); 4.9% APR; $7 G down; payment is $601.30 for 60 months.

many reasons why people lease. some are: people want newer cars sooner, cheaper payments, don't have to worry about out of warranty items and service, could be a tax deduction/write off for business owners, folks can drive really expensive cars which if they bought/financed could not afford but leasing gives them the opportunity to do so (example- BMW). i'm sure there are more....

EXACTLY ggesq !!!

In my case, the low down ($5K out of pocket) lowered the payment significantly... just prepaying really. as far as the whole lease vs buys goes, I usually trade every 2 years... it is worth it to me not to ever have a car out of warranty. I have no time for being inconvenienced, need to work, and at this age, I can afford it so I lease. I have no kids, so when I die, no one needs to do anything except open the garage door for the leasing company. Besides, I'll be dead, so who cares?

ASM/Ebony/5AT. Leased for 36 mo/12k. Monthly payment $500.74 with 1K "up front". Also received 1K in positive equity from dealer when I turned in my 2004 TSX 3.5 months early. The 1K in equity was my 1K down payment. I usually do not put money down on a lease, but this was a unique situation.

Cap cost on Tl-S was $35,500 with 60% residual and 0.00154 money factor.

I feel I got a very good deal considering if i kept my tsx till the end of the term, I would have had to pay over $500 in mileage fee's, plus a $495 disposition fee (US bank ). So instead of having to pay 1K at lease end, I bought the car off the lease and flipped it back to the dealer and made 1K.

For those on this site that love to slam leasing, you have no f'ing clue what you are talking about. There are many very good reasons to lease a car instead of buying it. If you take the time to look at each deal, you will understand. Sometimes it is better to buy, and sometimes it is better to lease. Each situation is different. I have found that most people who bash leasing really don't have a good understanding of it. Just my opinions!

saw1 - totally agree with you. As I was saying above, putting money down on a lease is silly when you can get 5%+ with zero risk on that money just by dumping it into a savings account. Leasing in general is very good depending on the circumstances.

Put your money to work FOR YOU, people!

Yeah, on leases if your car is totaled your down is shot! All it does is buy down future payments when you could have had it working for you.

Leasing is like renting a car, but getting a really sweet car just the way you want for a cheap price compared to a rental, but when your realistically compare it to the money you just spent on the car after returning it, you could have invested it into a real car, and actually got cash back

And in exchange, you'll give me what? A free blow job everyday for the next 3 years?

Yeah, I know, I won't *own* the blow jobs at the end of the 3 years, but it'll still be something to look forward to everyday after work.

jimmyl729

the benefits of leasing you listed are correct. but please read the leasing folks above your post, they are going to buy out the car after the lease. so how is that reasonable financing? lower monthly payment but much higher grand total at end. is immediate pleasure that important?

lease. I got back $89 for overpayment of the tags.
