i actually changed my mind just today to finance instead of lease on my 335i coupe, ordered a month ago. Never leased before, but was trying to lower my monthly payment and out of pocket expense. For some reason I just got a bad feeling knowing in 24 months, I would have paid all that money and really have nothing to show for it. The depreciated value of the car would equal approx. $35,500 plus the $20,000 or so I would have paid getting a lease, meaning if I were to buy at the end of the term I would have ended up paying about $55,500 for a car that is worth only $47,500. $4000 per year interest does not appeal to me. I don't believe that the out of pocket money ($22,000 trade + $8,000down) would earn enough interest to offset that $4,000 per year. That's just way I see...I could be way off mark here but, oh well.
