Wow....$2500 down? ouch. Granted, the trim you seek is pretty rare, but still. I would inquire what the fees are, money factor and residual. I would not lease it unless you've actually made the calculations yourself and the numbers add up. Would you get a mortgage loan without know what kind of interest you are paying? Neither would I...

Thanks for all the info. Basically, it has come down to this. I am putting $2K down by choice as I need the lower payments, unfortunately. Taxes are paid monthly. However, the total lease price does include all inception fees including 1st month payment, bank fee, dmv title fees, documentary fee and tax $337/mo. I got the vehicle invoice and lease buy out at end of term is roughly $15K.

People get mortgages without looking at anything other than monthly payments all the time and people also do the same buying an leasing cars everyday.

Yeah you do have a point there. I guess in this "fast food" type society, I shouldn't have such high expectations.

I wouldn't put so much down, even if its a trade in. 1k at drive-off (for 1st month, bank fee, tires, etc...) and pocket the rest. You can put the 2k in a savings account and use it to subsidize your monthly payments.

Hey mstylady,
 
I am glad if I helped, and that you decided on a course of action. The car does not dissapoint, I am going on 1 month here and loving it.
 
As far as putting $2k down, thats your choice, I personally would say, put that into a high yield savings account (ie. ING Direct, CapitalOne, HSBC, etc...~3 to 4% APY), that way it combats inflation, and us it to cover several months of payment without the money loosing any value, but maybe that is the investment banker in me screaming out (that is what I did)....otherwise, enjoy the car and best of luck!!

It doesn't even say how many payments.
Are you 100% sure that you would never need to drive more than 10K miles per year even if you had to move or change jobs in a coupe years?
 
You are better off taking out the $1100 cap reduction and putting it in the bank to subsidize the higher payments so it doesn't get wasted if the vehicle gets stolen/totaled shortly after you start the lease.
If the payment is $30 higher without that $1100, then withdraw $30 a month from this account to go towards the lease payment.

Thanks for the response. I did indeed leave out the 36 month lease period.
