I think it was ~ $720 down (on my leased is250), $524/month.. but I'm looking to switch it to a buyout this year and put down however much it takes to get my payments at or below the $524 I'm used to. Hooray car payments haha

Great answer! We're already losing money on them once they're driven off the lot, so might as well minimize the loss by paying less interest on them, if any.

^ If you can get the interest rates low enough, and you invest your money wisely, you'll be better off. If offered free financing, for instance, you'd be stupid to pay for your car in full with cash.

Despite what the media spin doctors have you thinking, you don't have to put any money down.

Yup.. i would def get the F instead of a brand new IS250.. but thats just me.

I got a 07 is350 for 29k.. Paid 18k down.. monthly payment is 180
