\mostly every lease contract..

One pay leases are good too, since theres no rate, but I have a problem parting with, say, $15,000 on a car up front.
My own view is to go for lower payments each month with the least amount down.

Our 330i stickered for $42k and with about $2k out the door, our payment is $545 on a 39 mo lease.....
I strongly feel that if your going to lease, take your $15k and make secure investments with it..... that's rediculous to give them all that cash.........
