$556 a month 
My last ride was an 04 350Z and I was only paying $286 a month. I put a huge chunk down on the Z but that think depreciated like a **** so I didnt have as much to put down on the IS. Persoanlly I hate the payment, but I love the car. So I guess it balances out.

because it's been asked 10 trillion times. basically, if you pay cash for your car, you have no idea how to manage money, because that cash could be invested to make WAY MORE CASH than whatever interest lexus financial is currently offering.
meaning.... just because you CAN pay cash for the car, it would be a dumbarse idea to do so....

2007 IS350 pretty well optioned out.
$20k down in cash
$470 a month.
I'm pretty amazed that people don't do more research (ie basic math) about payments before deciding to buy a nice car. At the very least, everyone should read these threads before buying a car so they can figure out what they're getting in to.
First thing I did after graduating was pay off my student loans, they weren't too bad but i'll be darned if i keep paying them interest. Next on the list was a nice car. I knew exactly what I wanted, what i was putting down and what my payments would be. Almost 45k (all said and done) seemed like a pretty big number (I'm 26 and in my first proper job after grad school, my last car was a beater) but $470 a month is nothing so I went for it.
