The big thing is to not get hung up on what your payments are because if you ask enough people someone, somewhere got a better deal. If you dwell on it you'll build animosity toward the deal and then the vehicle. Have fun with it and turn it in in 3 years. Heck, the new model should be out and you may be the first in a new Z

I was just curious to why you leased is all again I didnt mean to be rude just wanting to know why.

(Oh, I see, you did put money down

myself there LOL)

I'm not seeing how your payment is relevant here, though. You could pay $11 a month for a Lamborghini with enough money down, and then you could be shocked that people pay 10x that much for a used Hyundai.

Anyway Butler seems like good people for service, OP. I also recommend Ed Martin for service, I've had good service at both.

Yeah definitely a good call, and like others have said you have all of your maintenance covered. It's not really about what you pay, more about the fun and experience whether is a DD or track beast. Enjoy the car!

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.

My whole point was I could have bought a base model for near what he was paying. And wanted to know why and found my answer
