a 335i would be pretty cool. they drive great. also it would be fun to change to a turbocharged car

335i or better yet the 335is are both worth checking out for sure. S4 would also be a good option (wouldn't consider the S5 until it gets the Supercharged V6 from the S4).

What kind of lease payments would I be looking at for a 335i ? I currently leased my z for $500 per month but I got it sighing the first three months of the car being released. I would get a z again but fully loaded non of this cloth base crap I have now.

Thank you for all your opinions and help.

i just leased a 2011 328i, stick price was like 45k. around 500 a month for 3 years. so it cant be that much more for a 335i

Chuck.... curious, if you do decide to turn in your car back, after the lease is over, what happens to your mods that you have on there? Do you have to remove all of them and return to stock form? How about "permanent" mods, like your blacked out fangs?

get an Aventador. I almost got one instead of my Z, but they wouldnt take a 10k down payment

I'd return to stock. I have a buddy with a body shop with a lift that i could use. I'd find someone who want my final drive and swap pumpkins, someone who wanted headlights and swap , and the rest are all bolt ons. Annoying for sure but not the end of the world.

The fangs I would ask about and if they wanted it stock I'd just resrpay it. Buddy owning body shop helps.

Dude if that's your Z, it is so beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yikes! 6.5% for 60mo! How long ago was this? It is good you chose to refinance. Apparently as long as you have decent credit, getting ~3% is cake from credit unions.

I usually don't care for lambo'd cars..but this looks pretty tasty!

:yum:

Back in 2009 that was the lowest I could find with my almost excellent credit rating in this area.

I also didn't want a big payment so the months financed played a big part on the APR at the time.

Kind of follow your same habits. I think it works out to I’ve had 16 cars in the last 16 years. With my most recent 370Z, I did something I’ve never done. I went back to a car I already had. Although that was a 350Z (08).

What about the crazy idea of getting another Z and putting the mods back on it?

As for the leasing discussion, most refuse to take depreciation into consideration when this discussion goes on. They always say it doesn’t matter because I’m not going to sell the car. Until of course eventually you sell the car and the ignoring of the depreciation becomes a reality. But the other things that people ignore are maintenance and warrantee when you are in a lease. Typically you are covered during your term for the large hits that a warrantee takes care of. And we all know maintenance costs go up once that period ends.

When it comes to figuring our total cost of ownership I really just throw that all out the window. Ultimately I buy cars based on if I think the price is worth the vehicle to me and drive them for as long as it makes sense.
