Has anyone leased an 09 S2K? What kind of numbers did you get? I need to know if I should be looking elsewhere or if I have a shot at leasing an 09 to replace my 06 when its lease ends in May.

 

Probably around 7-900/month on a 4 year with a 17K residual. Closer to the $600s/month with great credit. Anyone else with recent experience here?

 

That sounds terrible. Wasn't the 335 lease ~<$600 per month?

 

if your credit isnt impeccable dont even bother, just buy our your 06, thats what I am doing with my '04

 

My credit is perfect so that is not an issue. I pay 363/mth for my '06(with 1st payment only at signing) and I won't pay anything more for an '09 since they are the same car and selling even worse than they did in '06. This is why I am looking around. Don't have any interest in buying my car off the lease.

 

Over $500 is too much no matter what.

 

I'm curious as to why you wouldn't want to buy your car after the lease is up?

 

A couple of reasons:

1) won't be under factory warranty the day the lease ends
2) isn't the color combo I would like to have long term(always wanted GPW with red/blk but it wasn't available in 06)
3) the car had some bodywork from a recent shopping cart hit(nothing major) but I don't want a "damaged" car.
4)payments on the residual would be much higher than my current payment is.

That being said, somebody will get a nice 06 out of the deal- my car just passed 6,500 miles and looks perfect(I know it isn't though).

 

i would never lease a car

 

Wow, 6500 miles in 3 years?? You paid a lot of money to drive that car so little!


Good luck with the next purchase though!
