has anyone tried to lease a new gt? my dealer(or former dealer) told me a lease on a gt at 28455 was about$655. you can buy it cheaper. if you figure this 3 year lease you pay over 23000 and will still owe over 13000 for it. 36000 i dont think so!

thats why you dont buy it at the end of the lease.....The Fang said:Pissin your money away leasing a car. an there ain't no residual imo.
Josh - can you tell us what are the current (January, 2006) residual percentage on an '06 GT and the applicable money factor (presumably through Ford). Then it's easy to run the numbers, e.g., at this site: http://www.leaseguide.com/calc.htmjoshman1204 said:I can run some numbers and see what it will really cost at invoice.
" It's true that you'll own nothing at the end of a lease; you'll have nothing "to show" for the money you've put into it. But... what you don't own is the same part of the car — the depreciated part — that a buyer too doesn't own at the end of his loan. Again, a car's value depreciates the same amount whether it is leased or purchased.The Fang said:Pissin your money away leasing a car. an there ain't no residual imo.

I can lease my vert for 505.00 @ 24 = 12102.00 buy out 22100.00.
So if I buy it at the end its 34200.00.
I can pay cash 32100.00 and drive it for 2 years get bored and sell it for maybe 18k it still cost me 14k and I didn’t wrap 32k up for 2 yrs in fact its better to lease and invest the money.
Or I can put 10k down pay 440.00 for 2yr that’s 10256 + 10k= 20256.00 and my pay off is still 14k I can sell it for 18k get 4k and it still cost me 16 k and I tied up 10k.
If you lease at least you have options at the end
p.s. you never really want to buy out a 36mo or more lease.
At any rate by then the Shelbys will be more realistic and I will want one anyway.
