personally, I would never lease, to me its like throwing ur money down a toilet and flushing lol and thats my theory for buying brand new cars as well...but then again I hate interest rates too so i only buy cars in cash... I'm a cheap bastard i guess hahaha but i hate parting with my money lol
anyway, stick to the car you have now i agree that now is a bad time to buy new/lease...just wait it out a bit

How much could you get off a Cayman. Boxster's fully loaded can come down about 8,000 or so. I would assume a Cayman could also be discounted well. They seem to have more cayman than Boxster. Did the Cayman sell well this year?

PS... I love the white Boxster in the signature below. White works so well on this car.

Generalizations about leasing vs buying are like all generalizations, not very useful.

The financial issues are done fairly quickly, and the devil is in the assumptions. I can make anything look good based on what assumptions I use in the comparisons. The future is going to be what it is, not what we assume it to be.

Then, there are the emotional issues. I have done both, so not an issue for me.

Think, analyze, act, and good luck.
