370Z isnt making too much sense... lease help!

!xoible

Hey guys... so my idea was to get a small tiny fun daily driver where i can lease for somewhere from 24-39 months for somewhere around $400-$500 (assuming drive off only, 12k-15k miles a year). i also want to mod a car that's not too expensive to mod. i want VOLK wheels so i need a JDM car

Being practical (having some space, maybe AWD for snowboarding) is definitely a plus, so i test drove different cars. Here's what i considered:

1. Mini cooper S - front wheel drive killed it when i test drove it

2. S2000 too slow, and salesman didnt take me to a road where i can test it's "fun" factor, handling, etc. just a straight line back and forth

3. BMW 135i, awesome car, ridiculously fun but BMW has crazy rates (lease in 700's)

4. Z4M - i love this car, just too scarce now. but still open possibilities

5. STi, i loved the handling, but for one im not used to AWD, for another it didnt feel all that fast + huge turbo lag

6. 350z yah but there's the new shiny one! and lease sucks *** on 08's due to very low residual (coz it's last year's model)

7. 370Z i absolutely love it and this tops my list. it's fun, nimble, quick, looks awesome, nice navi on it, awesome throws on the shifter, the synchro-rev i can use. i have a problem with VDC on or off but that's no biggie. My problem is lease numbers i got are in 600's which is completely ridiculous! What's funny is i got offers on Cayman S in 700's. well the cayman S was in 70k range, the Z is in mid 30's. so i cannot justify such a lease payment. especially not along my m3 lease payments.

8. yet to be test driven: Evo X

Do you guys have any tips, do you guys have any information (like residual numbers, mf) or anything that can help me get a decent lease on the car? do you know of a dealer who's willing to work with me? just any thoughts??
