After a typical 5 year loan, the 370z should be worth about 15,000 which is pretty good... but you will pay the full 32kish for the car...

at the end of my lease of 39 months I would of paid 16,820 .... is the Z going to be worth 16 grand than ? yes and probably a little more...

But with my habbits of never keeping a car for more than 3 years, if i finainced the same Z I would maybe come up a few thousand if i chose to get rid of it after 3 years... but my payments during that time would of been higher... if you sell your cars frequently and you are buying a nissan that doesnt hold is value all that great, I would rather lease... just my opinion..

and if i decide to buy it out ( which I will probably do ) my buyout is 16,900 after paying 380/39 months 2k down . So if i buy it out, I end up paying just under 34k for the car that I could of got for 30, but I could easily get out of it after 3 years... This may be confusing but I am not one of the people who are very anti-lease, its really not THAT bad of a deal... also many companies lease you vehicles so this may be the case here , who knows. But I do understand I will be paying a few more dollars than I could of if I finainced it.

So because of that.... I do however somewhat regret leasing the 370z because no car has made me satisfied like this one has, and I WANT to keep it.. most other cars I've had i grew tired and bored of after 2 years and typically kept every car for under 3 years.. I am 28 and I have owned 6 "real" cars since I have been 21 years old... Integra, audi a4, s2000, s2000 #2 ( was rear ended in a bad accident in first one only afer owning it 4 months, totaled it out so got another ) , G35 Coupe, now the 370..

All of those were finainced and other than the integra most of them I owed just about what I got for them when I sold/traded them in... Many would argue I shouldnt even of purchased them to start with as I rarely put more than 10k down, but its my hobby to enjoy my cars and I treat myself and family well when it comes to automobiles...

but anyway... look at a5 if you want luxory and done care about drop in speed , or s5 if you want speed/looks/luxory... but the price is higher than the Z by a good amount... I would imagine a lease of a s5 would be close to 750-800
