Just go find a gently used F with low miles and save your self some $$. I have never been a fan of leasing.

I disagree with the no lease guys. Leases are generally cheaper monthly than a out right purchase. So if u cant afford to purchase a car, lease with the least amount of months and mileage per year. If want to buy the car at the end of the lease you can. You purchase at what it's worth. Which might even lower the payments more. Plus u don't have to worry about going over the miles if you plan to purchase.

I have a ls and isf both 08. I purchased these. I also have a 2011 es for lease at 400 a month. The isf I plan to keep forever. Wife drives the ls. We switch out driving the es cause I don't want to put a ton of miles on the isf or the ls. I plan to get the new gs when they call me to for the es lease. I'm gonna get a new ride every few years. Oh and once your in a lease no down payments when u jump into another car.

Leasing is only optimal if you're the kind of person that has to have a new car and you like to switch them up often. Other than that, buying slightly used is better 99 out of 100 times. (unless you are doing a corporate lease but most people aren't)

hmm i understand option for yearly trade..but if you lose all equity.. .. for instance bought mine used in 09 with 18K miles for 41K I stole this car lol.. put ten down with 1.9 % financed for 4 years and comes to about seven a month put 1K down each month and about to pay off this third year...so instead of leasing and giving equity back to lexus as one of my best friends just ended up paying 900 each month and he is at same point as I he will have paid close to same amount just to turn in and if he did as I did with our mileage the car trade in is worth over 34K atleast not even counting mods and superb shape...to me a waste and he pretty much paid off a lexus more than 3/4 the way to have lexus resell to make probaslbly atleast 40K pure profit when the car intitially cost first buyer 51K.. but to each his own with their money but as I always say and account for years down the road..no matter the purchase EVERY puchase is an INVESTMENT... but to each his own ofcoarse ...

For those who say leasing is bad, it depends on how long your actually keeping your car. If you buy a car for $50k, 2years later its worth $30k and you want to sell it, you just lost $20k. Same can be said about leasing, either way, its a loss BOTH brand new VS lease.

Find a gently used certified ISF and you'll end up getting a better bargain. Theres so many thoughts/variations on this topic.

YES I KNOW THE THREAD IS FROM 09'!!! LOL
