What's everyone leasing the 2012 Z for?

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.
