Yeah, sorry ShiroZ... I agree with IB.

While I've typically always leased... and leasing CAN be a great option... you listed all the wrong reasons.

1- Typically, leasing to buy does not work out best.
2- Umm never buy a car thinking it will be a collector's item... even so.. then you should be BUYING, not leasing.
3- Gap insurance? That's your reason?

Main advantages of leasing are if you typically don't want to keep a car longer than 3 years or so... you won't lose money on trading/selling. Also good if you want to be in a car you can't afford to buy. The Z is a BAD car to lease... Nissan doesn't make it attractive, which is why I ended up buying a leftover. My first car out of my past 4 that I didn't lease.
