good grief if you can lease a NEW Boxster for $400 a month then you know this economy is in the crapper. Recent developments aside, Porsche is not Chrysler or GM. Its been the most profitable car company in the world for some time now. I doubt they feel the need to unload inventory for those kinds of prices. I don't see how you can turn a profit on an expensive car taking in less than $7K a year. Particularly when they know that the car is taking a walloping of depreciation faster and sooner since Mr. Porsche started this company.
But hey let me know if you score one and I'll pick one up meself and just put the 986S into long term storage!

as far as leasing and depreciation.. True its consumption. But I guess its like leasing your consumption vs. buying it out right. Most financial advisors will give you 10 reason against non-business leasing for every reason for it. They'll also give you a 100 reasons to take advantage of cheap credit to finance your consumption, namely freeing up capital for other assets. I guess it depends on how important it is for you to have your money growing and how important it is for you to go to sleep at night without debts.
