from http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7298 but now with a poll!

ah shoot forgot cash. I knew I was forgetting something. Lets put that in 'Third party finance' since you are technically financing it from yourself.

I'm leasing. I want something new in 3 years. And, since it is a first year car, I always worry about reliability and I don't want it to be my problem.

Im bought mine here in Germany and bringing it back to the states with me for about $10,000 cheaper than what everybody else is paying in the states! So I financed for about $15,000 after the down payment! btw......free shipping provided by the US Government! woot!

seems we got a lot more people leasing than the general discussions poll

I think they said 70% people lease.

#1 - tax write off benefits if under your company

#2 - Pay interest only for th portion you use.

#3 - Buy out price protection. Just in case the case worth less than buy-out, just give it back.

#3 is especially true for people who are returning leases now. Used car took a very huge hit in the past 12 months due to cheaper US imports.
