I guess. Can't you get a 335 lease for close to that?

$4800 down, $291 a month for 36 months.

I hear that this past summer lease specials were running around $5000 down, $349 a month.

both with a residual value around 19k.

In 2002, I put $5,000 down and paid $410 a month for 42 months. I paid it off before the lease was up though.

so when you're done with the 36 month lease and still owe $20k on the car, what do you generally do? get a $20k loan over 48 more months to pay the rest off? that's like $450 a month for another 4 years.

or do you just give it back and lease another car? the only reason i ask is because my payments are about $450/mo and i'm financing the car, so i don't see the "benefit" of leasing for....$400/mo (or $499, although i suspect he put way less money down and has a higher residual value and perhaps a high money factor).

Mine was $15k down and 224/month for 63 months, but I just paid it off two weeks ago. I should be getting my title soon.

Nice! I'm considering doing that, but the trick is paying it off before the lease ends right?

What happens if you don't pay it off before the lease ends?
