What's everyone leasing the 2012 Z for?

So that's 17,940 for 39 months plus the buy out being $22,500 thats $40,440 which I think might be a little bit steep.

-Yeah I have no plans to purchase at the end of the lease. Pretty sure $460/month is cheaper then what the monthly payment for a purchase would be for my vehicle. Hence the reason for the lease.

The big thing is to not get hung up on what your payments are because if you ask enough people someone, somewhere got a better deal. If you dwell on it you'll build animosity toward the deal and then the vehicle. Have fun with it and turn it in in 3 years. Heck, the new model should be out and you may be the first in a new Z

Yeah definitely a good call, and like others have said you have all of your maintenance covered. It's not really about what you pay, more about the fun and experience whether is a DD or track beast. Enjoy the car!

Leasing can have its advantages. I am leasing my truck but I bought my Z before it. I then traded in the Z and leased the truck. Here's how it broke down.

Bought 2009 370z 6mt Sport (w 2700 miles) - $31k after tax, title, interest (for the two years I owned it), etc.
$7k down - Payments of $450 / Month
Drove it for two years
Traded it in towards a lease on a 2012 Frontier SV Crew Cab 4x4 w/ Premium package
Got $23k for the Z, still owed $15k
Lease required $4k down with payments of $200 per month
Buyout at the end of 39 months is $18k

In my case, I was able to cut my payments down by $250 per month and the dealership wrote me a check for $4k. In my current situation this was preferable. I could have bought a used truck but my payments would have been more and I would not have a factory warranty. Also, I'm sure I'll be tired of the truck in three years and want something new anyway.

I'm not seeing how your payment is relevant here, though. You could pay $11 a month for a Lamborghini with enough money down, and then you could be shocked that people pay 10x that much for a used Hyundai.

Anyway Butler seems like good people for service, OP. I also recommend Ed Martin for service, I've had good service at both.

My whole point was I could have bought a base model for near what he was paying. And wanted to know why and found my answer
