A lil credit card debt, student loans being paid on time, that's about it.
Looking at the F sport GS 350 in NY (within the next 7 months)
I see they got a special going on for like 440 for 36 months with 3000 or 4k down.
I calculated it, and the entire lease price for that would come up to maybe 20k throughout the 3 years.
If I finance that 2015, imma be paying a **** load
but good looks on the tip. Imma check out clubLexus and see what cats are paying.Edit: forgot to mention my reason for the big down payment is to avoid a big monthly payment. I wouldn't feel right dropping 500 a month or so on a vehicle. (But I guess that ain't no better than 14k leaving your account at once huh?
)I need to make up my mind

So first time buyer? That could be an issue with getting the best rate. But if you put enough down it should be ok. How long have you been establishing credit? Atleast 2 accounts over 4 yrs old?

I need to talk to you when I'm ready to lease an M. Gotta finish the payments on my Ridgeline(work car), than its time for a beast. I'm also in the Bay Area. You near Vallejo? I see 707.
Looks like you leased all your vehicles, any reason why?

Iam in the area.. and reason.. because I switch cars very often. Not to mention always under factory warranty throughout the whole term.. you can negotiate a deal on a lease just like you can on a purchase. I learned every program from lexus before I felt confident enough to approach them.. same with bmw.. lol I knew more than the sales person.. tried to bs me here and there and got a killer discount, buy rate and no mark up on ANY fees with very minimal down. U just gotta learn the market and programs and you are gold. Never be desperate and make people work for your business. Anytime anyone needs help just let me know!

M4 is better but the rc f is a lexus v8 which i really love since lexus usually build motors that last forever.
Plus the design is so out of the box and doesnt compare to anything else on the road

brah this thang is beautiful

Both cars have their advantages. Personally since I have a 15 is350 F sport, it was easier for me to choose the m4. The rc f drives good and looks good. Can't go wrong either way.

The RCF is even heavier than the M though right? That's a lot of bread for a Lexus, plus I don't think you can modify it much power wise.

I am by no means a leasing/financing expert but I've done my fair share of research when I was looking into a lease. I'd highly advise against putting that much money down. If the car gets totaled you'll lose the down payment. Never buy down your lease just for a lower payment, and get gap insurance. Like

said look into the residuals and money factors. Take your time, shop around and ask questions.

yeah performance wise it aint touching the //m
only reason i would take it over an m4 is because of the lexus reliability and longevity.
plus the crazy design.
just updated my uncles audi a6 navi.
man idk how people be using that navi when the iphone is so much easier

I agree. Only reason for a navi is to make the interior look nicer

When leasing, always look into Multiple Security Deposits. This is one thing most people do not know about but should always be considered.

Very true always do MSD over putting money down on a lease. You get your MSD back at lease end and your monthly payments will be lower. Bmw allows 7 and Mercedes allows 10. A MSD is typically the same price as a monthly payment. So if your lease is $500 a month with bmw you can put down $3500 and Mercedes $5000.
I bought my m235 but they just changed the lease tax in IL so will be looking for a lease for my next vehicle

Leases already include GAP insurance in most cases.. on a financed deal, it is an option but recommended when putting zero to very little down. I agree on not putting that much down on a lease..
As far as the rc f... i like the design.. but just didn't do it for me especially with the price tag.

I would say from experience and from most of the people I know.... Lease
When it comes to Luxury vehicles and their depreciation...most lease to avoid being under water down the road/yet have a dope ride.. This is not the case with all vehicles tho...some cars do hold their value quite a bit.. For example.. Some M3s...and Definitely the M4 will hold their value quite high imo. If for some reason I am wrong and 3yrs down the road they are worth crap I can simply get something different and not take the hit
If I see the value being pretty steady, I can always trade it in somewhere and cop something else.. It is a Win Win for me.
Lexus surprisingly did drop in value quite a bit even considering the killer deal I got. I was very disappointed.. But at the end of the day LEASE transfers to exist and you lose nothing but your deposit unless you can negotiate that with the new lease applicant to be paid... there is a lot of ways of breaking even and not losing a penny. You just have to be patient and take the time to gather up information. The more educated you are in this, the more it will save you monthly and long term.

I appreciate the input, brother.
Reason being, I'm going to be in the market for a new car in the next year or so and just looking at my options.
I'm interested in buying the car since I would really like to keep it for the next 5 years but I would love to know the pros and cons of leasing as well.
If I were to finance a vehicle, I was looking at a 2015 Evo, 2016 WRX (or Sti if they switch to the FA20DIT), or an Audi S3.
But I feel like if I just lease the vehicle, I'd have more options to look at.
