Deal too good to be true?

You really shouldn't be using monthly costs to compare anything.

Your second assessment is correct poorazn. They actually did try to finance me at 2.75%, they sold the stock Z for $32,718, and just added on my remaining lease payments for a grand total of something like $36,800.

I definitely got bamboozled and have a lot to learn about car buying. I contacted my credit union and they said I was approved for a loan at 36k, so I'm just going to either trade in my lease and be a little more aggressive in getting the payoff I want on it, ride it out till 2013, or use a service like Swap a Lease to get someone to take it off my hands and be rid of all future payments.

Then I will approach a dealer with the check written out for the amount I intend to pay and that will be that, they can either take it or leave it. I'm thinking of offering something like 31k or 32k for a touring sports package.

May I suggest not to look into leasing anymore? To me, the idea of paying for a rental car all the time without gaining any equity seems like dumping money to trash... just my personal opinion.

there's no way you're getting a 2011 touring sport for 31 or 32,000
