from what i've seen..most ppl are paying 500 something or 600+ a month for their Z. A lease on them is soemwhere in the mid to high 400's. After 3 years u get to give it back and get another new car..with a purchase you paid way more a month and than have to dish out more $$ for a down payment if u want a new car.

if you're the type of person that keeps a car for years and years than i can see buying is the way to go. if you like to get new cars often than leasing is def a good option. and in my case..i own a business so leasing gives me that tax deduction.

don't knock leasing...it's not a bad option. doesnt always mean you cant afford it. people can have other motives for it.
