I've never leased, but am considering doing a cost analysis next time around. I use my Z for limited miles, and would have no problem keeping mileage under the lease limit.
One question for those who have done the cost comparisons....do you factor in the value of money , and possible investment returns ? In other words, if I pay $ 60 K cash versus leasing, that's $60 K out of my investments that's not getting interest, or stock market returns. If someone could average 6-8 % per year on invested money, that would be $ 3600- $ 4800 per year in lost income if the $ 60 K was used to buy the car up front. Do you factor this issue in to the comparison ?
