On your 85K car you are only 25K away from an outight buy compared to the lease . The savings difference is huge .
Maybe I also have a certain fondness towards these cars too. Unlike the disposable feeling of leasing I want to feel that the car is mine unlike with BMW's and Mercedes cars . I want to see my name on the title and feel like I don't have to give it back.
An 85K bought Porsche = 85K counting down from drive off
An 85K leased Porsche = 36 payments and nothing left .
It's really a personal decision but you'll see it may get better than what you were quoted but not so much better that you'll be doing cartwheels on your front lawn.

Even though i lease my cars, i still take care of them like i own them. I own a mercedes s550 and a clk350, a bmw 335i and 650i, and a range rover supercharged. I get each car professionally detailed every month and a half. I always check everything to make sure it is ok and i always park them inside (except for the range rover). I am hoping to lease the carrera for around 900-1000 a month therefore after doing the calculations, i noticed that leasing would be cheaper then buying.
