Leasing makes alot of sense if you're the type to drive <12k miles/yr and turn your car over every 3-4 yrs. Buying makes sense if you drive >12k miles/yr or keep your cars 5-7 yrs. Leasing takes the guess work out of reliability issues and resale values since leases generally run 24-48 months and you turn the car in before the factory warranty expires. The trick to leasing is getting in with NO money down, and understanding all the variables so that you get a decent monthly pmt. If I were to get a 335i, I'd lease it and turn it in before the warranty expired, whereas I purchased the IS . . .

is it possible to lease a IS250 for under 400 a month with tax for 36 months and with a reasonable down payment, something like 2k? i want to lease either a 350 or 250. thanks

- you have Tier 1+ credit rating
- you have a trade-in of >5k
- you go with a 48mo lease
IMHO, you don't want to put anything down, basically you want to go in to the lease with $0 to drive off, except maybe 1st month's payment . . .
