What kind of lease deals are you guys seeing right now? On leasecompare, I'm getting $898 (w/out tax) and 2500 cap reduction for a 3 year 15K/year lease on a $55K car. That seems pretty high.

Thoughts?

 

I think you would be better off with a 84 month loan. You would pay about $840 and have unlimited miles. Still can treat it like a lease and trade it in after 3 years. Any upside down hit I'm sure would be less than the up front cash you would have to pay on your lease.

 

The lease deals stink out there, there's no discount on MSRP anywhere and the banks are being conservative on the residual. Your numbers sound about right.
