Great deal. Good luck finding one though. Fanman went thorough the same process a few months ago. He gave up after not being able to find out, and getting screwed around by the dealer.

Not to good of a deal if you want it as an everyday driver.
works out to $892.75 per month if you go 3 years / 45000 miles. Great car however not worth that price in this days market.
My God, that means that you would be plunking down almost 1k a month to drive a car whose design (in 2008) is two decades old. That would be like, I dunno, driving one of those old exotic deathtraps like the Ferrari Mondial or 930 3.3L turbo.

For that rate it is not a terrible deal, given what the MSRP is. I personally would not do it for reasons listed above.

Not always. It can be a great tax wite-off, and before the loophole was closed this year a very great write-off for heavy vehicles.

My dealer has one in a color I like and wants me to test drive. I usually don't go for test drives, but the only NSX I ever drove was 10 years old and had tires that looked like they were too. Steel belts showing. Not good for handling.

Now I'd be the first to say I like the NSX, but to waste money on THIS lease, I would have to pass.

If you are in to a reliable car that looks great and goes kinda fast compared to the "real sports" cars and again you don't wanna own one (read: used NSX) then yeah go for it.

As for the cars I listed being old or sucky....I just have to comment on that...
Granted the cars on the list are not the bests of the best (arguably), but most smack the NSX on the chin performace wise.

But then again, people who buy a NSX usually are not impressed by 0-60, 1/4 mile numbers.

Final thought of the message:

WAY too much cash to shell out for a moderate performer that can't be driven daily due to mileage restrictions. If you really want a NSX, BUY 1.

Like someone said, "another NSX thread?"

I think it is interesting that discussions keep coming back to comparisons to this car, when at the same time people are adimantly for it or against solely on the number of years of the design and the price. Of course a brand new one is expensive!, it was designed to be ahead of it's time and manufactured in the way the that best built and manufactured cars often are. That said, I really do like the new Boxtser. But like anything else you have to test drive them and compare them based on your personal needs/wants. I personally wouldn't base it on just the price, because if it's something you really want and can afford anyway, you will be willing to pay the price, right?
